Help[Opinions] Re: Ruth and Naomi
in reply to a message by Siri
I would use not Ruth and Naomi in the same sibset. The story of Ruth and Naomi is too well known and too frequently quoted, imo, for this to be a usable sibset. On the other hand, it could be fun (for a few minutes) for a girl to be able to use "whither thou goest, I will go" in response to typical big sis questions like, "Why won't you leave me alone?" and "What are you doing in my room?" =)
I love Ruth and Naomi (nay-oh-mee) individually. Ruth isn't harsh at all, at least not to my ears. It's short and simple, yes, but I think the sound is very gentle. Sadly, I don't think it works with Judith. The matching oo and th sounds are too repetitive. Ruth and Miriam or Naomi, Miriam, and Judith all work as sibests, but as a foursome, they have problems.
