Ruth

[Farmmum22]

What are everyone’s thoughts on Ruth? Is it due a comeback? It used to be so popular surely it is!

A very ugly name, imo.

I think it’s a lovely name! And can be lengthened to Ruthie! Or shortened to Ru/Roo!

Gorgeous name. It’s a strong name too.

I think it’s the ugliest girl’s name - like a dog barking, so I hope not.

It's very unfair of me, but it always makes me think of the scene in friends when Rachel and Ross are talking about names for their baby.

Ross "how about Ruth?"
Rachel "I'm sorry, are we having an 89 year old?"

I also don't like the sound.

However, whatever name you suggest will have people who love it and people who don't. There's not much point canvassing opinion (I know I've still given mine, but only because you asked).

It has the benefit of being unusual but not unheard of or hard to spell. And is traditional but not overused.

No.

Love it, it’s taken in our family or I’d have used it for my dd! I like Ruthie as a diminutive too.

I like it. Its a good strong Biblical name.

It's a lovely name and very classic. Never met a Ruth I didn't like.

It doesn't sound harsh to me though, I think of it as quite soft sounding.

I don't think it's ugly at all, it's a strong name, fitting for a little girl and an adult

Ruth is a lovely and classic name!
It is one of my favourite names.

In my home country we usually spell it Rut, without the h, but anyway it's a great name!

Lovely!

No I think its a terrible name!

That might be even worse..

It’s so refreshing in the sea of Evas, Avas and Elsies. It’s easy to spell and pronounce, well-recognised, nice meaning, what’s not to like!

It's classic and different but I just can't bring myself to actually like the sound of it. It's sounds very harsh to me.

I love it, I know two, different ages but both adults, and they both have the qualities I associate with the name, intelligent, interesting, kind hearted.

Love it. It's my sisters name.

It's ok unless you're is se London and are happy with 'roof'

I like it….I work with 2 Ruth’s…they are both lovely

Good name

Hate the name. Then again that might be because the ruth I knew turned out to be the biggest two faced bitch ever.

Drab

No! It’s truly ugly. The sound and look of it are awful.

Love the name Ruth
