[Opinions] Ruth!

I've developed a great affection for the name Ruth over the past 20 minutes but I can't figure out a combo for it. Throw whatever you have at me! My taste tends towards eclectic word names and traditional European names, with a particular emphasis on Spanish names, but I'd love to hear whatever sounds good to you!

Also, WDYT of Ruth?

Ooooh, 20 whole minutes! *LOL*

Sometimes that's the entire lifespan of one of my flavors-of-the-moment. :)

I like Ruth, I probably wouldn't use it for one of my kids, at least not as a fn, but perhaps as a mn, particularly if it were a family name. I like "eclectic word names and traditional European names" too. As for Spanish names, the one I like is Rosalie.

Ruth is gorgeous. As slbond said, it's simple and strong, plus sweet.

Ruth is a nice name. It's a bit too old fashioned and traditional for me personally but I do think that it's a nice name. Sweet and simple. Ruthie is a cute nickname as well.

All these combos are terrific! They really bring out the nice, feminine sound of Ruth with their multisyllabic flow-iness (not a word, lol). I'm particularly fond of Ruth Viviana (my adorable chubby baby cousin's name is Viviana and it's been growing on me since she was born), Ruth Sofia, Ruth Carolina (I love this pronunciation), and Ruth Emilia.

Ha ha

Flow-iness should be a word! I like it.

Wow, those were some of my favorites too. Glad you liked some!
