Girls name - Truly...

[blossomstar]

Just wondered what peoples thoughts are on a baby girls name - Truly. I absolutely love it but husband isn't convinced... xxx

Scrumptious

My neighbour has a dog called Truly, I just don't think it's a real person name

I’m going to be one of an army of Scrumptious replies here.

And I only saw the movie once and hated it.

I prefer True for a name.

Scrumptious. Please, don’t do this to your child!

Yep, she will get people singing Truly Scrumptious at her all the time and she will hate you for it.

Trudy is better

Truly is an adjective, not a noun. ‘ Truly what? ‘ Will follow her all her days ( until she starts telling them it’s actually Trudy, and they misheard).

I agree that Trudy sounds v similar and is better and less embarrassing for a child.

I know one of the Kardashians called their child True. But it isn’t really a name, it’s just a word. Same with Truly, not really a name. I guess it fits with a lot of virtue type names like Verity and Patience etc but surely in that case it would be Honesty?

Khloe Kardashian has a dd called True. I'd assume that you were a fan.

Exactly. Don’t do it.

DD performed Truly Scrumptious with her musical theatre class, and I never wanted to hear that bloody song again, but now it's stuck in my head. So thanks for that!

Don't call your baby Truly.

Or maybe Truth?

Agree with everyone else though, Truly doesn’t sound like a name.

Truly daft.

It's like calling your child Very or Bloody or Totally. 'Congratulations, Literally Hancock, you're our new Prime Minister.'

It's not just for a baby though. She'll be an adult most of her life and it's really not a great choice for a woman.

Oh yes, I suppose Truth. Either way I don’t think I’m a fan! I mean Verity is an actual name with history of use that means truth, so maybe that would work if it’s the virtue you like?

Yup, immediate reaction is “scrumptious”
considered reaction is “awful”

True is just as bad - immediate reaction is “Kardashian” - and that is not a positive thing.

Trudy is fine.

Awful. It's not a name

You might want to watch Chitty Chitty Bang Bang before you decide....

Madly, deeply

Sorry it's a hard no from me too.

Truly awful.

Ehhhhhhh no

If you like the sound of then Trudy might be better. If you like virtue names then verity or some other more established one might be better
