What are everyone’s thoughts on Ruth? Is it due a comeback? It used to be so popular surely it is!

I like it. Its a good strong Biblical name.

Love it, it’s taken in our family or I’d have used it for my dd! I like Ruthie as a diminutive too.

No.

It's very unfair of me, but it always makes me think of the scene in friends when Rachel and Ross are talking about names for their baby.

Ross "how about Ruth?"
Rachel "I'm sorry, are we having an 89 year old?"

I also don't like the sound.

However, whatever name you suggest will have people who love it and people who don't. There's not much point canvassing opinion (I know I've still given mine, but only because you asked).

It has the benefit of being unusual but not unheard of or hard to spell. And is traditional but not overused.

I think it’s the ugliest girl’s name - like a dog barking, so I hope not.

Gorgeous name. It’s a strong name too.

I think it’s a lovely name! And can be lengthened to Ruthie! Or shortened to Ru/Roo!

A very ugly name, imo.
