Re: Ruth
in reply to a message by BBH
This was my mom's name. She didn't like it, and always complained that it rhymed with tooth.I love it. Not only does it have wonderful personal associations for me, but it does legitimately fit into your understated theme.It may well be the dawning of a Ruth era. It was extremely popular around the time my mom was born, which was 1910, believe it or not. It was so popular, in fact, that there were 4 other Ruths in my mom's small college, so she went by her last name.Anyway, given that it has reached the 100-year or so turnaround time, I believe it is ready for revival. There have to be a lot of people out there with a Ruth in their family history, or even in their memories of a grandmother or great-grandmother. Hence, ripe for revival.
