Shruti

[springtrees]

Hi all,

Please could you share your opinions on the Hindu, Sanskrit name Shruti for a baby girl? This name has a significant meaning in our culture.

It’s pronounced Shrew-tea.

What sort of feeling/ image does it bring up? E.g does it sound girly, sporty, playful, artsy, serious etc?

Thanks!

Just makes me think of Shroomi as in a mushroom. Not a fan I'm afraid but can completely appreciate the cultural aspect of the name.

Yes, this!

What a silly comment. I've literally only heard of Shruti on that programme. Adam is a much more common name and my first association would probably be Adam&Eve.

Never heard it before. I love it! Really nice, cute name

@ChildrenOfTheQuorn that's my point really. People seem to make strange associations with names that aren't 'English '. Adam and Eve is a different thought pattern...they were both biblical humans. A completely different way of thinking to being reminded of a vegetable.

I love it! It’s a pretty name on its own anyway, even if someone doesn’t know it has real meaning behind it. And on a personal note, I know a wonderful lady named Shrutee - she’s incredibly kind, and goes out of her way to make life better for other people, including through how she does her job. So I only have positive feelings about the name, both on its own merits and because of the person I know who has it.

I like it! It’s a nice sound and easy to pronounce/spell. I wouldn’t be bothered by the shrew sound and haven’t seen/read This Is Going To Hurt so wouldn’t make that connection. I’d say it sounds quite girly and sweet.
