Pronounced ROO-ah.

Baby boy will grow up in England if that affects your judgement at all.

I much prefer Ruan. That extra letter just makes it sound more like a name than a random word.

Assuming this is trolling but in case it isn’t, please don’t do this!

Ryan
Roo (only short for Andrew, not on its own!)
Ralph
Ross
Rick (preferably short for Richard)

It’s the Irish word for red hair and it’s sometimes used as a name.

It's a beautiful name for a girl or boy. I like the way it looks written down as well

I love it. I've only met one, and she was a girl, if that makes any difference.
