Hate to say it but can't stop thinking about the name Rumer. I love the way it sounds and it goes well with my surname.

Is it too crazy and will it rub too many up the wrong way? Thoughts?!!

Not keen

Worked for Demi though

It's a type of drinking glass isn't it?

GloriousGloria · 04/07/2014 23:46

I love it

Always have. It's a great none too girly name that will carry through to adulthood Smile

If you love a name and want to name your child that name then go with it, no matter what anyone else thinks.

As long as you and your child can live with it go with it.

As in Rumer Godden?

She was one of my favourite authors as a child.

TheHoundsBitch · 04/07/2014 23:47

Ugly written down, but sounds OK out loud.

Is it pronounced rum er or rumour?
If the latter it would constantly annoy me

VenusDeWillendorf · 04/07/2014 23:49

Is that pronounced room-er to rhyme with sooner,
or rum-er, to rhyme with bummer.

Sorry don't like it.

williaminajetfighter · 04/07/2014 23:51

It's pronounce Roo-merrrr.

Surely it's better than Lily-Mae??! Wink

Rumer Willis is Rumer Glenn and i can never think of another mn to go with it.

DramaAlpaca · 04/07/2014 23:56

Don't like it at all, sorry.

LJBanana · 05/07/2014 00:00

Hhhmmm. I do like it and I have met one, but I'm not 100%, more 90%. I think if you love it and can't stop thinking about it, then put it on the list!

burgatroyd · 05/07/2014 04:19

It sounds like rheumy. I think of sore red flowing eyes.

Teadrinkerandatinker · 05/07/2014 04:28

Fideliney · 05/07/2014 05:16

Lovely. Makes me think of Greengage Summer and all the doll books.

SanityClause · 05/07/2014 07:33

Yes, Fideliney, and I still can't read The Diddakoi without becoming a blubbering mess!

Fideliney · 05/07/2014 08:45

Oh I haven't read that since I was about 10! I wonder if it is still about here somewhere.

Mumof3xox · 05/07/2014 08:51

I briefly went to secondary school with a Rumer

She was a nasty piece of work and it just makes me think of her tbh
