You poor Berries are probably getting really tired of my twin girl name dilemma. The good news is that I am finally making serious progress with my DH! He wants to name one of our twin girls [name]Ruth[/name]. She’ll probably be called [name]Ruthie[/name], which I think is really cute and I am just thrilled that he is finally participating.
SO, I had thought about doing [name]Ruby[/name] and [name]Ruth[/name] but I am very afraid that calling [name]Ruth[/name] [name]Ruthie[/name] will get confusing. [name]Ruby[/name] and [name]Ruthie[/name] sound too similar, right?
I am totally open to another biblical name for [name]Ruthie[/name]'s twin. Any ideas? Big brother is [name]Connor[/name].
I like [name]Esther[/name]. [name]Hannah[/name] and [name]Abigail[/name] are pretty but rather popular right? Anything else sound pretty with [name]Ruth[/name]?
[name]Ruby[/name] and [name]Ruthie[/name] would probably get confusing. If you want sort of matchy names you could do [name]Ruth[/name] and [name]Rose[/name]
[name]Rachel[/name]
[name]Jane[/name]
[name]Laura[/name]
[name]Ella[/name]
[name]Naomi[/name]
[name]Miriam[/name] - I would love to meet twins named [name]Ruth[/name] and [name]Miriam[/name]!
[name]Eve[/name] - I would love to meet twins named [name]Eve[/name] and [name]Ruth[/name] too!
[name]Mary[/name]
[name]Abigail[/name] was ranked #7 in 2011, so its pretty popular, but it does sound very pretty with [name]Ruth[/name]! [name]Hannah[/name] was at #25, so it is also popular, but is on its way down in popularity. [name]Hannah[/name] and [name]Ruth[/name] should be a good sib set, but for some reason, I don’t like it nearly as much as [name]Ruth[/name] and [name]Abigail[/name].
I also like:
[name]Ruth[/name] and [name]Margaret[/name]
[name]Ruth[/name] and [name]Louisa[/name]
[name]Ruth[/name] and [name]Frances[/name]
[name]Ruth[/name] and [name]Naomi[/name]
[name]Ruth[/name] and [name]Lydia[/name]
I love [name]Ruth[/name]/[name]Ruthie[/name]. I also love [name]Ruby[/name], but I think both together would be too much. I think [name]Ruth[/name] and [name]Esther[/name] ([name]Ruthie[/name] and [name]Essie[/name]) would be absolutely adorable! I also like [name]Phoebe[/name], [name]Leah[/name], or [name]Lydia[/name] with [name]Ruth[/name] for a sweet, biblical, not-too-common sibset.
[name]LOVE[/name] [name]Ruth[/name]! And [name]Ruthie[/name]! So underrated! I like [name]Edith[/name] as well, nn [name]Edie[/name]. [name]Susannah[/name] could be another option. Nicknames [name]Sosie[/name], [name]Zuzu[/name], [name]Annie[/name], etc. (we’re using [name]Susannah[/name] for our little one). I highly recommend it!
I also like pp’s suggestion of [name]Ruth[/name] and [name]Martha[/name], as they have a subtle connection (the letters th and the fact they are both biblical) without it being too over the top matchy.
Commenting again to say that I wasn’t sure that I liked [name]Esther[/name], but I’m in love with the pp’s suggestion of nn “[name]Essie[/name]”! [name]Ruthie[/name] and [name]Essie[/name] would be so cute!
Also, I agree with other posters that [name]Ruth[/name] and [name]Martha[/name] are a good pair. Recently, I heard of a [name]Martha[/name] who was called “[name]Marty[/name]” as a nn, which I thought was adorable! [name]Ruthie[/name] and [name]Marty[/name]
We just studied [name]Esther[/name] at church and I have to admit that knowing who she was and all her qualities (she was beautiful and very courageous), makes the name more appealing to me.
Is [name]Essie[/name] the most common nickname for [name]Esther[/name]? Or are there others I should be aware of? I know how much people love giving nicknames and shortening names.
I like [name]Susannah[/name] too.
We’d like to use our mothers’ names as middle names if possible too. [name]One[/name] is [name]Katherine[/name]/[name]Kate[/name] and one is [name]Jean[/name]. Would you pair either of those with [name]Ruth[/name]?
I’m liking [name]Ruth[/name] and [name]Rebecca[/name]…[name]Ruthie[/name] and [name]Becky[/name]. [name]Ruth[/name] and [name]Esther[/name] is also very cute.
My mum is [name]Jean[/name] and her sister is [name]Ruth[/name] They get [name]Jeanie[/name] and [name]Ruthie[/name] sometimes, lol. The names work as a sibset but not as a first and middle I don’t think. [name]Ruth[/name] [name]Katherine[/name] is nice though
[name]Tess[/name] is another nickname for [name]Esther[/name].
[name]Ruth[/name] and [name]Piper[/name]
[name]Ruth[/name] and [name]Rosemary[/name]
[name]Ruth[/name] and [name]Sarah[/name] nn [name]Sally[/name]
[name]Ruth[/name] and [name]Sadie[/name]
[name]Ruth[/name] and [name]Judith[/name]
[name]Ruth[/name] and [name]Colleen[/name]
[name]Ruth[/name] and [name]Maeve[/name]
[name]Ruth[/name] and [name]Priscilla[/name]
[name]Ruth[/name] and [name]Justine[/name]
[name]Ruth[/name] and [name]Lily[/name]
[name]Ruth[/name] and [name]Margaret[/name] nn [name]Maggie[/name]
[name]Ruth[/name] and [name]Violet[/name]
[name]Ruth[/name] and [name]Iris[/name]
[name]Ruth[/name] and [name]Celia[/name]
Another vote for [name]Ruth[/name] and [name]Esther[/name]! I also liked [name]Ruth[/name] and [name]Abigail[/name].
[name]Ruth[/name] and [name]Naomi[/name] would be a little cliche for anyone who is familiar with the book of [name]Ruth[/name]. ([name]Just[/name] saying it bc I saw it suggested)
The good news is that I am finally making serious progress with my DH! He wants to name one of our twin girls [name]Ruth[/name]. She’ll probably be called [name]Ruthie[/name], which I think is really cute and I am just thrilled that he is finally participating.
They get [name]Jeanie[/name] and [name]Ruthie[/name] sometimes, lol. The names work as a sibset but not as a first and middle I don’t think. [name]Ruth[/name] [name]Katherine[/name] is nice though
