I do really love my grandmother’s name, but it’s already very used in my family in her honor and I like the idea of something a little less expected (her name was Ruth). [name_f][/name_f] I do really like [name_m]Reuben[/name_m], [name_f]Ruhama[/name_f], [name_m]Rufus[/name_m], just Rue—curious what other lovely [name_m]Roo[/name_m] names are out there? [name_f][/name_f] I do like [name_f]Ruby[/name_f] too but not as much as the others.
[name_m]Rumon[/name_m] and [name_m]Rudy[/name_m] are the first two that came to mind. [name_m]Rumon[/name_m] was an early [name_m]Christian[/name_m] saint in [name_m]Britain[/name_m].
Seconding [name_m]Rupert[/name_m]! I know you wanted to honour your grandmother and so a name starting with ‘roo’ is probably better… but I got sidetracked thinking about names with that sound somewhere in them as well.
@southern.maple[name_f][/name_f] [name_f][/name_f]- [name_m]Rumon[/name_m] is interesting, is it RU-muhn? [name_f][/name_f] or more like RUE-mon?

@katinka[name_f][/name_f] [name_f][/name_f]- oh [name_f]Rumi[/name_f]! [name_f][/name_f] I was also recently thinking if Ruhama(h) nn [name_f]Rumi[/name_f] would work. [name_f][/name_f] I think I still like [name_f]Romy[/name_f] more than [name_f]Rumi[/name_f], but it is an idea. [name_f][/name_f] I also find [name_f]Rumer[/name_f] pretty to look at but I think the sound could be a problem. [name_f][/name_f] Wasn’t familiar with [name_m]Maru[/name_m] but it is intriguing me!

@The_Bookwyrm[name_f][/name_f] [name_f][/name_f]- oh [name_m]Rurik[/name_m]! [name_f][/name_f] I forgot about him but he is really cool. [name_f][/name_f] I also like [name_m]Petru[/name_m], and [name_m]Truett[/name_m] reminds me of a name I’ve been crushing on lately [name_f][/name_f]- [name_m]Truman[/name_m]! [name_f][/name_f] I’m definitely not opposed to having [name_m]Ru[/name_m] not be at the beginning!

@Greyblue[name_f][/name_f] [name_f][/name_f]- I adore[name_f][/name_f] [name_m]Cyrus[/name_m], but I don’t think there’s a hope in the world my circle would use that pronunciation (nor would I want them to, lol [name_f][/name_f]- I’m way too partial to SY-russ!). [name_f][/name_f] Plus I already have a combo for him that honors 3 family members so I don’t know that I want to force any more significance into [name_m]Cyrus[/name_m] haha. [name_f][/name_f] But it is a nice idea, and I do like [name_f]Siru[/name_f]!
