Exactly. Don’t do it.

Khloe Kardashian has a dd called True. I'd assume that you were a fan.

I know one of the Kardashians called their child True. But it isn’t really a name, it’s just a word. Same with Truly, not really a name. I guess it fits with a lot of virtue type names like Verity and Patience etc but surely in that case it would be Honesty?

I agree that Trudy sounds v similar and is better and less embarrassing for a child.

Truly is an adjective, not a noun. ‘ Truly what? ‘ Will follow her all her days ( until she starts telling them it’s actually Trudy, and they misheard).

Trudy is better

Yep, she will get people singing Truly Scrumptious at her all the time and she will hate you for it.

Scrumptious. Please, don’t do this to your child!

I’m going to be one of an army of Scrumptious replies here.

And I only saw the movie once and hated it.

I prefer True for a name.

My neighbour has a dog called Truly, I just don't think it's a real person name
