Ruth?

What do you think about this for a FN? DS is named Daniel..

 

We're are thinking Ruth Marie Diane..as it happens all three names are family names..but do they sound ok together? (It is tradition in my family for the second born to have 2 middle names)

i'm "eh" about ruth.  it's kinda dull to me.

i think the three names flow well together, though

I think Ruth is pretty.

I'm not a huge fan of Ruth, it's my mother's FN but she never uses it. I think it's dull as well and can't get ove "Baby Ruth", people are not going to stop with that.

I like Diane Ruth Marie as a better combo. But all three together in your order is just fine.

I thought of using "Dianna" as a variant for Diane for the FN (thanks to some great suggestions from a previous post)..but I thought it sounded too matchey-matchey with Daniel??

I love Ruth. I love the nn Ruthie. It's a great name and nto used enough. Ruth Marie Diane is a lovely combo!!!

This exactly. I love the name Ruth. It would be a strong contender on our list if it went better with our last name.

I love Ruth and think the flow of names you have picked out works pretty well.

It's a bit matchy but I wouldn't get your Christmas card and go "Ew, Diana and Daniel are her kid's names?"

I love Ruth but personally, I think it sounds a bit funny with your other choices.

I think Ruth is a nice name. It reminds me of Ruthie from 7th Heaven.

I agree. Plus it's a great but little used Bible name. I think the names flow well too.

I love Ruth, but just eh about your middle names. I know they have significance but her whole name doesn't have to have family ties.

How about::

Ruth Evangeline

Ruth Alexandria

Ruth Emmeline

Ruth Lillian

Ruth Mary Kate

Ruth Juliet

Ruth Carolyn

I know, but these names have alot of significance and the people who we would be honoring mean a great deal to us. 

We were trying to come up with original (as in not family names) FMs but DH and I are having a hard time agreeing on names (I love Noelle for a FN..he wants Katherine) but we do like naming her (if baby is a her) after people we love and care about. 

 Ruth is one of my favorite characters in the Bible (Daniel was DH's, that is why we picked it) and Ruth holds the added significance of a dear person in our life. Marie and Diane are family names. (Daniel's MN is Peter, to honor my dad) so that is why we were thinking of going that route.

I know we have plenty of time...but still

 

Thanks for all the input though! It really does help!

I really like the name Ruth. I love the middle names you have picked out but two middle names are not my style. All three names are lovely though.

I think it's very pretty and underused! DH's grandma is Ruth Marie. We are planning on using Ruth for a middle name.

It sounds super old school. I don't like it.
