Baby girl due soon we are stuck on these names to give her for a first name. We want one starting with the letter R. Which one of these names do you like best? If there are other name suggestions that begin with R that would be helpful. Thanks

From your list, I love Ruby and Rachel (not RachAel), anything but Roxy!

Raven - too Goth and a horrible bird
Rosie Rita and Ruby - Corrie
Roxy - Eastenders
Love Rachel and Rebecca - sounds dependable and lovely

LondonWolf · 15/09/2022 16:28

Ruby. I don't like any of the others.

Umbrellabee · 15/09/2022 16:26

I think from your suggestions Ruby, Rose/Rosie, Ria and Rebecca are the best choices!

BasiliskStare · 15/09/2022 16:25

I like Romily , but Rosie and Rebecca also lovely - for some reason I can't get on board with Roxy - but your child your choice

All very best wishes

I have a Ruby

I also really like Rosie and would've used it for DD2 but DH said Ruby and Rosie sounds like a kids cartoon 😄

Yes I love Ruby, Rosa or Rosie and Rebecca as someone else suggested Rebecca, it's a hard choice.

Ruby
I prefer Rose

toastedcat · 15/09/2022 16:13

Raya is a high-end dating app for "celebs" if that impacts your decision. It's a shame as it's a lovely name!

AceofPentacles · 15/09/2022 16:12

Rita?

midgetastic · 15/09/2022 16:12

cptartapp · 15/09/2022 16:10

Rachael at a push.
How about Rosa?

uncomfortablydumb53 · 15/09/2022 16:06

Rosie
Or Romy?

Soubriquet · 15/09/2022 16:06

Oo Rowena is nice

Johnnysgirl · 15/09/2022 16:05

Oh, someone's suggested Rowan. That's nicer than all of that list.

Shodan · 15/09/2022 16:05

I like PPs suggestions of Robyn or Rosalie. From your list Rosie is the best. Rose would be better.

Roxy, to me, will always be a dog's name (thanks sis). Plus the possibility of Poxy Roxy would put me off
