Help[Opinions] Re: Ruth vs. Maude
in reply to a message by Starfish and Coffee
They are both like...a wry spartan type of sophisticated. Ruth seems warmer, or richer, earthier? Maude seems brittle in a way Ruth is not but also airier...
I guess I wouldn't mind naming a daughter Maude (would prefer Matilda "Maude", that just seems more complete), but somehow it seems like such a Gen Z name to me, like Maude should already be a cool teenager by now. She's more fun than Fern and more responsible than Olive. She's got a lot in common with Simone.
I think I'd rather use Helga or Mildred than Maude.
But anyway, I would use Ruth because I've got a couple personal connections to it, although I'd be a little reluctant to use it as a first name because I think it can be hard for kids to pronounce. Oh well.
Maude Patience
Maude Regina
Maude Lilac
Maude Elmira
Maude Paloma
Ruth Simone
Ruth Valentina
Ruth Azalea
Ruth Zipporah
Ruth Shireen
They're both about a 7.
