Bluntness is never something to be sorry about. ...At least, it's not in this case, heh. ;)
Lol--mentioning Scooby Doo is...interesting.
My youngest sister is a
Ruby (as though there's anyone here who doesn't yet know that), and she's grown up being called Ruby-dooby-doo (and Ruby-Doo for short, of course). Helps that it was her favourite show when she was bitsy, of course--but I'm afraid saying Scooby-Doo isn't
quite enough to put me off. Scrappy-Doo, maybe.
roo-SAHN-drah appeals to me as much as rooks-AHN-drah. I have to admit that part of it is simply a desire to find an alternative to
Cassandra; much as I absolutely love it, I love it pronunced cah-SAHN-dra (not cah-SAN-dra or icky-icky cah-SAWN-dra) and I'm afraid that'd be too difficult to convince people to do.
Hm. I've got to think on this--and try and find a definite pronunciation of the name, heh. Thanks, mirfak. :)

I want to be be more like a river--
Less like a wall--
Not trying to hold back these feelings at all.
A revolution without dancing is a revolution not worth having.
