Uncommon girls name. - Rumer or True

[Llamamama1]

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 Willis and True Thomson/Kardashian.

No.

Rumy could be nickname.

Makes me think of arthritis.

Rumy could be nickname.

Roomy?? Really?

Rumer is OK - because of the great writer. But many people will either think rumour or Demi Moore and Bruce Willis. True is a celebrity name. There are loads of girl’s names that are virtues but they are nouns, not adjectives. There already is a great one for truth - Verity.

Opposites.
Is it a rumor or true?
Verify means truth. Mentira means lies.

I'm plugging Zadie to everyone today so how do you like it?!

Greer is lovely and "goes" with Arlo

Baby Fake news 😂 😂 😂

Rona
Lorna

Lux

Please not True. Instant Kardashian wannabe vibes, and when their popularity eventually implodes on them, you'll regret the name.

Rumer is much better, and isn't only associated with Demi Moore - there is also the author Rumer Goddard.
Other very random suggestions -

Romy
Arkie
Rosie
Nina
Maeve
Kirra/Kirrily
Asha
Sibella
Betsy
Hetty

I LOVE Rumer. All my potential other suggestions are too unusual to go with Arlo though.

Really!

Rumer was my firstborn, she died aged three months. I love it. It’s an old English name. Not so keen on True prefer Prue for sound or Vera/Verity for meaning.

My other daughter is Marilla but was nearly Eris.

True- wasn’t that also the hunger games cute kid that got speared?
Rumer- sounds like she was conceived due to a bottle of rum.

Still they are better than moonunit or north or blue ivy or star

I pulled my kids names from my family tree so they have uncommon names from 200+ yrs ago. It’s hard choosing names because you have to think about possible teasing in future. Like I had ancestors named Desire, Chastity, Shubael, Deliverance, Prudence, etc....all no go because of teasing factor.

Am I the only one thinking this sounds like a pub / drinking game 'Rumour or true?'

Pleas don't give a poor child ether of these names.

@missdumbledore, Eira isn't pronounced air-ah, the welsh 'ei' sound is quite a hard one to describe written down, but its sort of half way between 'eye' and how you'd say the letter A. so ay-ra. sort of. lol

@soupdragon, in my accetn Rumy is Rue-my as opposed to roomy. so Rue-muh not roo-muh. just a variation that may sound different to the person who suggested it.

OP, I like Rumer.
And as an aside i know a child named True, and literally nobody has teased him for it. times have changed i think and there are such a variety of more 'unusual' names that no kids bat an eye. i know children with all kinds of weird and wonderful names. what name did my child think was odd? Nick.

I don't mind Rumer, and I think the author makes this unusual name more usable. Note how much it has been misspelt on this thread though so use it with your eyes open!

I think True works nicely as a middle name for something more mainstream ie Phoebe True or Eliza True.
Paget
Raina
Rhea
Rhian
Reva
Quinn
Tess
Tansy
Tanith
Mabli

Rumer 👌🏼

Alva?
Kerttu?
Lumi?
Sanni?
Sirku?
Tarja?

Rumer (Godden) was her mother’s maiden name. That’s fine, but it isn’t an old English name. It’s also a very ugly sounding name.

Sorry if someone has suggested this but what about Truely? It's a fairly unusual but still well known Irish name.

Not sure true is that uncommon after the kardashians

in my accetn Rumy is Rue-my as opposed to roomy. so Rue-muh not roo-muh.

Lol. Those are all the same in my accent :o
