Hi all,

My tiny girls list only consists of:

Rumer
True

I have searched for hours and hours to find some other options to consider and keep coming up blank! Interested to hear preferences between the two and other options!

I prefer uncommon but short and simple names.

Sibling is Arlo!

Rumer is at least a name. True isn’t. She’ll be teased.

Hi

What about Aurelia I love this name or ola or Hattie hope this helps

missdumbledore · 29/07/2019 12:35

Love Rumer! Really cute. Some suggestions for unique short names: Aphra (af-ra), Una (oo-na), Iris (more old fashioned), Nova (like supernova), Eira (air-ah, meaning "snow")

Llamamama1 · 29/07/2019 12:37

I don't mind Aphra! Nova I quite like too but can't use due to a close friend having a Nova. Thank you :)

Rumer yes.
Not 100% on True, only because it makes me think of the Kardashians.

AntonsMumsTeeth · 29/07/2019 12:39

Sounds a bit like you're trying too hard to be different, sorry.

True isn't a name and Rumer is not pretty but each to their own.

popcorndiva · 29/07/2019 12:39

True is one of the Kardashians children

tenbob · 29/07/2019 12:40

Rumour is a name
True is an adjective

SoupDragon · 29/07/2019 12:40

Don't use True. It causes problems with a number of computer systems as it is treated as a logical function.

Hairyheadphones · 29/07/2019 12:45

True wouldn’t be a nice name, Rumer is an ugly name.

PixieLumos · 29/07/2019 12:52

True is ok, but does look like you’re copying the Kardashians. Rumer is better.

CurlyWurlyTwirly · 29/07/2019 12:54

They both sound Chavvy; especially True.

BlackberryBeret · 29/07/2019 13:00

NOT True. You are condeming her to a life being serrenaded by tuneless renditions of Spandau Ballet whenever she walks into a room

Rumer isn't chavvy. It's an old name.

boosterrooster · 29/07/2019 13:04

Rumor

I like true but the Kardashian association puts me off

Sexnotgender · 29/07/2019 13:06

Please don’t use true, it’s ridiculous.

Rumer is ok if you absolutely must but it wouldn’t be my choice.

What about Wren?

Colourfulest · 29/07/2019 13:14

How about Story? It's one of my favorite names 😊

Peachbubble · 29/07/2019 13:16

How about
Briar
Kira
Nell
Noa
Cleo
Juno

Champagne791 · 29/07/2019 13:24

I think True has been ruined for me as by the Kardashian association. Other names I like that are similar..

Ever
Scout
Story
Lyric

VivienneHolt · 29/07/2019 13:36

If you pick True, everyone will assume it is because of Khloe Kardashian.

Rumer would make me think you didn't know how to spell, and I'm not sure it has the best association? Rumours usually aren't positive things.

Arlo is a real name, so I would be inclined to give your daughter a real name too. If you like the sounds of True and Rumer how about:

Rory
Aurora
Noemi
Oenone
Toria
Remy

Frith2013 · 29/07/2019 13:48

Sharpen your pencils and start a new list.

Both those names are ridiculous.

Gingerkittykat · 29/07/2019 13:54

True, I would roll my eyes and assume you are a Kardashian wannabe.

Rumer, Bruce Willis and Demi Moore's kid.

ComeTheFuck0nBridget · 29/07/2019 13:57

I actually really love True, though probably wouldn't use it myself because of the Kardashian connection.

What about Truly? And then use the nickname True?

lekkerkroketje · 29/07/2019 13:57

Rûna is prettier, doesn't look like rumour misspelt and is at least an actual name in another language

septembersunshine · 29/07/2019 14:03

Zora
Willow
Penny (Penelope)
Elle (love this!)

peachgreen · 29/07/2019 14:03

I love Rumer.
