HelpRe: Ruth vs. Maude
in reply to a message by Starfish and Coffee
Ruth: 7
Maude: 5
They're about the same but I just like Ruth better
Ruth is versatile and timeless and more international
I've said this before (along with everything else I say lately) but I had a prof named Ruth in biology lab once and she was youngish and glamorous and totally changed my image of the name Ruth. It could seem stern and reserved, or breezy and witty. It could be Ruthie, half-ironically. It's like Rose but less pagan. It still seems a little square and antiquated but that just makes it interesting. Points off primarily because people don't like it, also for being bibley.
Maude sounds ugly. Mawed. And it has a hipstery vibe I dislike, probably because of "Harold and Maude." But it's a decent name and despite being "ugly chic," which isn't my bag, it is also interestingly antiquated and square.
