I seem to be stuck on the name Ruth. I think it’s due a comeback and love the nickname Ru. Baby girl due soon!
What are peoples thoughts?

Out of the three Ruth’s I know, two are complete wagons so it’s a no from me!

No. Sorry but it's awful.

One of my dearest friends is called Ruth so all of my thoughts are positive. She’s a beautiful person, kind, thoughtful, successful and caring. I love the name.

I like Ruth. Beth is also nice.

Tess is a nice alternative

It's quite an austere name. Biblical too. But the one Ruth I know, who is 55, is the loveliest woman, with the loveliest smile. So on that tenuous basis it's a thumbs up from me!

I like it, even though it reminds me of a roof. I know 2 Ruths, one is Ruthanne and one is just Ruth.

I love the name Ruth. I know a toddler Ruth who gets called Ruthie Ru

I'm a Ruth. It's grown on me a lot as I've got older and actually I quite like the solid and slightly austere feel it has to it. Lots of people have told me they really like it although I suppose the people who don't would be too polite to tell me!
