    The same reason they don't use the name "Hortence" any longer.

    Same reason nobody uses "Angus". Look what THAT does to someone. Jeez.

    My wife wouldn't even let me name my dachshund Gretchen.

    There is obviously widespread prejudice against vaguely overweight-sounding Germanic women's names.

    I predict "Brunhilda" will see a revival in a decade or two.
