I am 26 and expecting my first baby. As a child I hated my name.As a teen I hated even more. But as I grew older and being named after my grandma, it just suits me. So much of her I can see me and I am proud to carry on her name. Now there are so many names for a baby girl that I would rather her grow up with a name she liked than with a name she wouldn't. But as for myself I am Gladys and always will be. :))
It also has a Celtic Meaning

I always grew up thinking that my name was lame until one of my friends in my school told me to look it up under celtic. EVEN THOUGH it is not listed on here as Celtic if you put it on your search engine on google or msn, as "Name Meaning: Gladys" it should give you a website with "wondertime" something. And it says that Gladys is Celtic and it means "princess." As lame as I may be no one will take away the fact that I'm a princess, come on it's in my name..
If I am ever blessed with a daughter I'm planning on giving her the same name.

As a child, I really disliked my name. As a teen, I despised my name. As fate would have it, my neices were my own age, so, I was their Aunt Gladys when I was born, and as a teen. The girls around me, as I grew up, seemed to all be named 'girly', cute names, while I had such a clutsy name.
Now, that I am old enough to 'wear' this Gladys name, I enjoy it. At least, I am the only one I know around this area! I did not, would not name a child Gladys.
