Help[Opinions] Re: True
in reply to a message by Ismene
I like True as a Virtue name, but like it best as a middle name. As a first name it's a bit harder to pair without sounding terribly silly.
Rebecca True
Anna True
Peyton True
Alexandra True
Madeline True
Frances True
Helena True
Arabella True
Amelia True
Eleanor True
True Elizabeth
True Abigail
True Joy
True Peace
True Delight
True Treasure
Ture Melody
True Love - haha, I just couldn't resist some of these over the top pairings!

I agree - and spell it True
I agree that it sounds better as a middle name (kind of like Rue, another one you could use instead). Also, that way if they don't like it, they don't have to use it and vice versa!
I definitely think it's better spelled True. Tru looks like a brand name. I personally really dislike it when people change the spelling of word/place names to make them more (I'm guessing) name-like or name-worthy. If you want to name your kid London or Rain, I say name them London or Rain, not Londynn or Londin, Rayne or Raein or something (sorry Rainn Wilson! I actually think your name looks kinda cool - see, even I break my own rules! haha). But in general, everyone knows where the name came from, and it doesn't make it more of a "Name" to change the spelling, rather the opposite.
Sorry, I rant!

Tru looks like a nickname for Truman to me, and therefore more masculine.

I agree -- it is nothing but masculine to me. I think of it as a stand alone name though, just True. And yes, True not Tru...Tru is not a name. True has a very personal connotation for me so I really like it.
