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

Ghost thread - this baby is almost certainly named by now Grin

UsernameIsHarderThanBabyName · 18/04/2023 09:46

From your list, maybe Rachel

I love Ruth, Rita & Rose

Rachel with just one A

StoatofDisarray · 18/04/2023 12:21

Rachel.

KirstenBlest · 18/04/2023 13:19

Rachael - like
Rosie - like but a bit twee
Ria - ok but Mia is so overused. Rita is more punchy
Raya - nothingy
Ruby - ok
Raven - raving
Roxy - awful
Rhianna - made up from Rhian + Anna. Will be written as Rihanna. Rhian doesn't start with R

Rita

Roisin

Lots of lovely names there, I have always been fond of Rachel/ Rachael. Some other R names I think are good:

Romy
Raphaelle/ Raphaela
Rose
Renata
Ruth

I wanted to use Renee but had a boy

KirstenBlest · 18/04/2023 13:47

@Coodwut , you could have called him René.

Theoldwoman · 18/04/2023 13:50

From your list Ruby, but my favourite is Rhiannon.

FatGirlSwim · 18/04/2023 14:01

Out of the ones you suggested, the only one I like is Rosie

Rowena
Romilly
Ruth
Romy
Rowan
Rosaline

KirstenBlest · 18/04/2023 14:05

@Theoldwoman , strictly speaking, Rhiannon doesn't start with R. Rh is a separate letter and sound in Welsh

Rosa
Roxy
Romilly
