Ruth? Juniper? Olive?

Thoughts on Ruth? Juniper? Olive?

I love Ruth, I think it's simple and elegant and yes, due a comeback.

Olive I dislike, too trendy and I'm just not keen on the sound.

Juniper is also very trendy but I like the sound of it so it doesn't bother me.

I really like Juniper, although I agree it's very trendy.

Ruth, I quite like. Unusual now but a classic name.

Olive is one of very few names I really strongly dislike. Which is sad because I have a baby relative with the name. Hoping it will grow on me now.

I adore Olive, which is funny as I used to hate it.

Ruth is fine, an underused classic but not a very exciting one.

Juniper is a bit try hard.

Ruth - like a dog yapping
Juniper - sweet, but I really think it’s a pet’s name
Olive - only in a salad

Got anything else?

not juniper or olive. i don't like names of trees for people.
ruth is ok-ish.
but most of the ones i've come across tend to be rather severe; maybe because it was very popular with strict protestants recently.
but guess it's due for a revival, and refreshed by new more diverse users.

Awful. All of them. Sorry.

Ruth is gorgeous. My DD was nearly a Ruth.

Olive is disgusting.

Juniper is ok but the "nipper" element puts me off.

I’m off an age where I can remember a character called Olive in a really nasty “comedy” programme.

That would put me right off.

Ruth. It's a good classic name that suits any age girl or woman. Ruthie is a cute nn.

Juniper seems a bit nicknamey but is ok

Olive - frumpy and not as nice as Olivia, and there are way too many Olivias

Love Juniper (nn Juno?) and Olive

Ruth. Simple and classic. Ruth Blackett is the first Ruth I think of.

I don't like Olive, and Juniper is too trendy.

My cats called Juniper

Love Ruth. Olive reminds me of Olive Oyl Popeye's girlfriend and I really don't like Juniper.

OP you have chosen some 'marmite' names there!

Ruth - my middle name. Growing up I really disliked it (old fashioned, religious, boring). I like it more now. It does have a certain dignity as PP said. Just a traditional, sensible name, maybe refreshing when there are so many flowery, fanciful names about.

Juniper - flowery and fanciful. Not my cup of tea.

Olive - I love this! So cute on a little girl and still suitable for an adult woman.

I work with a Ruth and she's the nicest person I've ever met. We call her Ru or Ruru or Ruey. The name has been brightened by her for me that is for sure.

I have an Olive. I never understand the hate for it on here. Everyone of all ages in real life comments to her what a great name it is!
That includes young girls who have named dolls after her, teenagers who say it's a cool name and adults.

So I'd definitely say go with Olive

Really like Ruth. Not keen on the others x

@Nowmum43
I don’t understand it either !! I suppose it is marmite ! I love it !

Olive is adorable.

Personally, I like Ruth find it a refreshing change from all the princessy girls names out there - Isabella, Arabella, Seraphina etc.

Not sold on Juniper tbh.

Ruth is great (not biased, noooo)

Don’t like any sorry

I've liked Juniper since reading What Katy Did when I was younger. Ditto Clover. I think it was that book anyway!!
