Baby girl due soon we are stuck on these names to give her for a first name. We want one starting with the letter R. Which one of these names do you like best? If there are other name suggestions that begin with R that would be helpful. Thanks

I have a Ruby

I also really like Rosie and would've used it for DD2 but DH said Ruby and Rosie sounds like a kids cartoon 😄

I like Romily , but Rosie and Rebecca also lovely - for some reason I can't get on board with Roxy - but your child your choice

All very best wishes

Umbrellabee · 15/09/2022 16:26

I think from your suggestions Ruby, Rose/Rosie, Ria and Rebecca are the best choices!

LondonWolf · 15/09/2022 16:28

Ruby. I don't like any of the others.

CandyLips · 15/09/2022 16:28

Raven - too Goth and a horrible bird
Rosie Rita and Ruby - Corrie
Roxy - Eastenders
Love Rachel and Rebecca - sounds dependable and lovely

I have a Ruby, great name 💖

My favourite girls name beginning with R is Rae, couldn’t use it unfortunately as it would rhyme with surname xx

FlipFlopShopInHawaii · 15/09/2022 18:05

I like Rachel, I think it's classic name (but would spell it without the second A)

knackeredagain · 15/09/2022 18:06

Ruby
Rosie
Rachel (I’d miss the second a out)

Ayupchuck1 · 15/09/2022 18:08

I only like Rosie and Ria from your list.
what about Robyn?

Mummytobe333 · 15/09/2022 18:16

Probably Ria out of those but prefer the spelling Rhea 😊

mamaduckbone · 15/09/2022 18:17

Ruth
