No no no.

Please don't. It's a dreadful name, and I should know!!

I really like it, I think it looks great written down too.

It probably will come back, along with Rebecca and Deborah and other formerly popular biblical names that have fallen out of fashion. It will also come back with all the plain no-nonsense names like Gillian and Sally. I know some great Ruths but I'm just not crazy about the name itself.

nn Roofie

Oh god no, it’s like a dog barking.

I think it’s the ugliest of girl names.

Sorry to be so blunt, but varied views and all that.

Where I live it would be exclusively said Roof

Its a cute name 😊 you can check popularity on a shade greener I think, but its definitely not overused.
