Bertha

Bertha exists in series continuity as a turn-of-the-century female given name invoked by a contemporary character to evoke past social norms and humanize an otherwise tense exchange. The mention operates as an onomastic and cultural reference rather than as an individuated character: no surname, actions, dialogue, or institutional ties attach to the name. Current episode usage reaffirms Bertha's role as an evocative historical signifier, pairing with other archaic names to contrast past and present naming trends.
