What boys names could be shortened to Roo/Ru?

[LeopardLover]

Hey all! I absolutely love Roo/Ru for short.

Could anyone recommend any unusual boys/unisex names that could be shortened to this?

Not a fan of Ruben and would only use Rue for a girl, but you catch my drift 😉 Thank you!

I knew a Russell who was always Ru, never Russ.

Not sure I’d choose a name based on a cute nickname for a toddler.

My son is called Reece and we have always called him Roo xx

Ruadhán

Reuben
Rory
Rowan at a stretch

I have an adult Rowan by the way

I used to know a Truman and he goes by Ru and Rumi with family and close friends

I know a Rudo!

@Whichwhatnow I do think Rudy would work well with my toddler's name too! And I know I'll have another sassy one 🤣

@SanFranciscoCalling Great suggestion! 🌟

@Nutsabouttopic Oooh very unusual! But potentially destined to be mispronounced in my city 😅

@cherryassam Love Runi!

Well lucky you aren't the one asking! 😝

Well, my little one is called Hunter and we call HIM Roo 😂. Obvious really don'tcha think?

@Whatisityoucantface Thats pretty cool!! 😎

@theWarOnPeace Oh this is adorable, thanks 😊

@uncomfortablydumb53 I really like Rowan but it's a close friend's name 👌🏻

@Biffatcrafts Oooh that's fun!

But they might not like Roo when older. Rew might be more bearable

Ruan
Can be spelt Ruadhàn too!

Hahaha I love it 🤣 Hunter is such a cool and strong name 😍

I think Andrew or Drew are great suggestions. You get the cutesy baby name for 5 years, and for the rest of his life he's not saddled with a Younique name.

We'd like to welcome baby Andrew 'Roo' Mark Smith: 8lb, born on X date.

@mastertomsmum I think that's why I'd like a longer name 😊

@Tempone That's really cool too!

I know a little Andrew shorted to Roo or Andy Roo

@ThatFraggle Haha I agree I wouldn't want anything too whacky 😊 I do like a longer name that can be shortened.

Rowan (I like anything nature sounding)

Sadly I cannot get my past my sisters dogs name is Roo, so it's tainted my vision.

Going with the obvious … Rudolph !

Rowan

I have a Reuben who is a Reu
My friend has a Rufus who is a Roo

Could also use Rupert
