Re: Ruth (edited)
in reply to a message by Tuesday
Ruth Julia is nice. Ruth Alice doesn't appeal to me. Ruth Miranda? Ruth Mara?
My image of Ruth is usually sort of old and frumpy, but then I took a class from a biology professor named Ruth ... who is about my age and incredibly beautiful, smart, and sweet. So I think the old image doesn't matter at all. The name suited her really well. It's a very dignified, quiet femme name - "power name" as I like to say. Rue is one of my favorite sounds, too. Don't know that I really go for Ruthie, but the right woman or girl could wear it well.
