Needed: Good Resume names for baby girl

[rascalmom]

Lots of Ruths in my family lineage -

My grandmother was Annie Ruth. I like the pp's suggestion of Anya.

My mother (bless her) got stuck with Velma Ruth.

DH's grandmother was Ruth Rose. (She was born in Sweden, but I never heard her pronounce it as Ruta - but she can here near the turn of the last century as a 5 year old.)

DH's sister was Ruthmarie.

Of the other suggestions I like Sophia Ruth.

Here is a website for top 100 Swedish names http://www.thinkbabynames.com/popular/0/sweden
Saw Julia on it, that would be really pretty with Ruth.

My mom's name is Ela Ruth which I think is pretty. I also like Sophia.

 

[Disneycrazymom]

Lots of Ruth's in my family also:

Lillian Ruth
Janet Ruth
Angela Ruth

Imagine the outcry when I chose Katherine as my DD middle name! Good thing they all love her full name or I would still be in trouble!

 

[PollyannaMom]

My grandmother was Marion Ruth, so that's my favorite, but I also like Lillian or Emma.

 

[huey duey & luey]

I love Lillian Ruth

also liked Katherine Ruth
Abigigail Ruth and '
Ella Ruth

 

[Disneyland Princess]

I'm a Sarah Ruth

Honestly, this kid is destined to be unnamed.

akcire -- I don't have any suggestions for you, but I wanted to let you know that you aren't the only one who can't think up baby names. I'm due in less than 4 weeks, and my DH and I still haven't really narrowed it down...

My daughter is due in about four weeks and she and her husband don't have a name yet either. They are having a girl, our first grranddaughter.

Here are some of the names they are considering:

Emma
Jillian
Jocelyn
Olivia
Sydney
Cadence
Cassidy
Sienna
Vanessa
Piper

I'm rooting for Emma or Cassidy. Our grandson's name (their first-born) is Carter. I think Cassidy or Cadence (though I like the nickname of Cady better than Cadence) would go well with his name. And I like Vanessa, only because I love the way Carter says "Nesha" for Vanessa.

 

[disfan07]

I'm Joanne Ruth. So i'm kind of partial to that name..lol

 

[Erin1700]

My DD has a friend named Martha Ruth.

I like Alison Ruth, Sophia Ruth, or Hannah Ruth.

 

[pirateofthecarolinas]

I have one friend from Sweden and one from Germany both named Sonja. Pronounced sewn-ya. Sonja Ruth. I also like Sophia Ruth.

 

[perdidobay]

My mil is named Eleanor Ruth, I've always though that was a pretty name.

 

[antmaril]

I have a three year old niece named Mieke (pronounced Meeka).

I think Mieke Ruth sounds very nice.

OP, while I totally understand wanting to get a good name for your child, I think you are being a tad too obsessive about finding the "perfect" name. You could give her this amazing "corporate" name and she ends up wanting to be a bartender instead. Stop looking 25 years down the road at what she "might" do for a career and just find a name you like.

 

[Lily & Giny's Mom]

Skipped many pages but saw my suggestion on # 7. It is a name I have always liked "Eleanor". You call it a resume name, and I said when naming my own, "head of state" and also "little old lady" names. I just love those traditional names that you do not hear these days. The child can be called "Ella" or "Ellie" and the adult Eleanor. I try to consider others with the name and Eleanor Roosevelt seems to have been adored by all. I would have used this but my husband vetoed. "Ruth" was also vetoed by my husband, but I have always loved the name.

My daughter has a post on her facebook page that lists some of her and her husband's favorite baby girl names (the ones that I listed in an earlier post here), and many of her friends have posted comments.

In response to comments about certain names being too popular, I loved this comment from her sister-in-law: "The name doesn't make her special...she makes the name special!"

My younger daughter (who loves the very popular name "Emma" commented- "I agree! So my niece, Emma, will be the most special Emma in *name of their hometown*.

So true, though, about the child making the name special!

True ... but should her daughter want to go far in business or politics then I think a goofy name is a detriment. Not everyone can overcome a name like "Condoleezza" or "Barack" and I am sure that both of them worked harder to prove themselves because of their names. There is no reason to put more roadblocks in place for your children just because they might want to be a bartender.
