Ruelle?

[name_m]Just[/name_m] came across this name. [name_f]Ruelle[/name_f]. It’s definitely uncommon, but could it be too weird or something? I like that it means ‘‘famous wolf’’ cause I love animals. + the cute nickname [name_u]Rue[/name_u]. So, what are your thoughts? Is it usable?

I like [name_u]Rue[/name_u], but [name_f]Ruelle[/name_f] is a little close to the word “rule” for me in sound. It’s certainly a usable name though, what with the popular -elle ending.

I love it on paper, but not so much when said aloud. Perhaps it’s just the way I pronounce it, but I hear Cruella DeVille O.o

I do love the meaning though, and [name_u]Rue[/name_u] is a beautiful nickname!

[name_u]Rue[/name_u] is such an adorable nickname. I’m with sleepysessha, in that I like the look of [name_f]Ruelle[/name_f]. I’m just not too fond of the pronunciation.

I love [name_f]Ruelle[/name_f]! And I think its totally usable! Definitely adding that one to my own list :slight_smile:

[name_f]Ruelle[/name_f] is cute! I think it’s usable. I wouldn’t use it myself, but I’d love to meet one. [name_u]Rue[/name_u] is a pretty cute nickname. It does slightly remind me of Cruella DeVille now that I’ve read that comment though but I didn’t think of it until I read that reply! It reminds me of Luelle/[name_f]Luella[/name_f]. [name_f]Luella[/name_f] is my niece’s name :slight_smile:

[name_f]Ruelle[/name_f] gives me conflicting images. On one hand I think of the rather archaic use, it’s a word used to mean the space between a bed and a wall. On the other hand it springs to mind the plant, Ruellia, which I think would be a darling name.

[name_f]My[/name_f] first thought was that it sounds like rubella (aka that disease kids get inoculated for)

I also thought of rubella. When said aloud, I do think it sounds like Cruella de [name_m]Ville[/name_m].

I guess it could be usable but I prefer the simpler [name_u]Rue[/name_u].
