Hi all,

My tiny girls list only consists of:

Rumer
True

I have searched for hours and hours to find some other options to consider and keep coming up blank! Interested to hear preferences between the two and other options!

I prefer uncommon but short and simple names.

Sibling is Arlo!

Baby Fake news 😂 😂 😂

omafiet · 29/07/2019 23:52

Greer is lovely and "goes" with Arlo

I'm plugging Zadie to everyone today so how do you like it?!

Poetryinaction · 29/07/2019 20:29

Opposites.
Is it a rumor or true?
Verify means truth. Mentira means lies.

Rumer is OK - because of the great writer. But many people will either think rumour or Demi Moore and Bruce Willis. True is a celebrity name. There are loads of girl’s names that are virtues but they are nouns, not adjectives. There already is a great one for truth - Verity.

Rumy could be nickname.

Roomy?? Really?

Sexnotgender · 29/07/2019 18:50

Rumy could be nickname.

Makes me think of arthritis.

Ginger1982 · 29/07/2019 18:16

Rumer Willis and True Thomson/Kardashian.

No.

Roussette · 29/07/2019 18:13

Rumer sounds like an eye infection and True is just plain ridiculous. as are some of the other names on here

I do know a Venetia and a Stella. Don't like Venetia but love the name Stella.

FogCutter · 29/07/2019 18:05

How about

Nyree
Tamar
Honor
Unity

Shadow1234 · 29/07/2019 18:04

I second Romy. I know a 23 year old girl with this name and it really suits her.

Other suggestions:

Wren
Eden
Demi
Lois
Leila
Lucia
Brooke

Rumer is gorgeous.

Tamar is a name I would have loved to use but I never had a daughter.

haverhill · 29/07/2019 17:46

Romy?

DryHeave · 29/07/2019 17:00

True Rumer. Then Baby 3 could be Fake News.

Cyberworrier · 29/07/2019 16:57

Rumer makes me think of the writer Rumer Godden who wrote Black Narcissus. I like it, it’s pretty. Rumy could be nickname.
True is not good. Has anyone suggested Verity, which means Truth? Pretty, a proper name, unusual but not silly.

Heratnumber7 · 29/07/2019 16:50

Not True. It would be awful if she turned out to be a serial fibber!

AverageMummy · 29/07/2019 16:49

This can’t be real? Confused

They sound like the sort of names Katie Price would choose.... I don’t know anything about the Kardashians but that doesn’t surprise me I guess.

I can’t imagine a child will thank you if they ever want a professional job.

Verity means truth & is pretty rare ?

user1493494961 · 29/07/2019 16:45

You could always change your own name to Rumer or True.

GrapefruitIsGross · 29/07/2019 16:45

I read that Bruce Willis’ daughter hated her name as at school she got called Rumer the Tumour, which is pretty grim.

I echo pp re True. I’d guess you admired Khloe Kardashian in a really unhealthy way

They're uncommon for a reason, it's because they're dreadful.

MrsMop7 · 29/07/2019 16:35

Genuinely thought your thread title was asking about an unpopular girls name. Rumer or true looked like a question. On that o would say no to either. Maybe pick something g that sounds like a name only.

CocoLoco87 · 29/07/2019 16:23

If you like Nova, what about Nakova with Kova as a nn. There's an American YouTube mummy vlogger who has a daughter with this name.

wheresmymojo · 29/07/2019 15:49

If you like Aphra it has an awesome namesake...
