I do think "street", but I think it's ok as a name. I think it makes a GREAT mn. Britney Tamber

Rue is okay as a mn, but I agree with Elemmennope that it just reminds me of "street" in French.

Rue reminds me of streets, but I still think that it's nice. I prefer it as a nickname for Ruby and Ruth though. Ryo, Ru, and Ryuu are nms for a girl.

Rue is okay. I don't particularly like it but it's still okay. I think of Rue Maclanahan (sp?) from Golden Girls and I like that show so I find it hard to not like the name.Kristen~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Rue McClanahanI love The Golden Girls! Rue McClanahan's character Blanche was hilarious, even though she was kind of... loose. That's my first association with the name Rue.

Nice as a mn, or as a nn for Ruth, Ruby, etc.

Rue translates as regret to me ("I rue the day you were born!"), so that's a big no for me. Then there's the fact that it's French for street, and it sounds like a short form of kangaroo. That said, Ru is the best spelling imo.

I automatically think "street"...It would be ok as a nn for Ruby though.

To rue means to regret. So no I don't like it, it isn't a very flattering name. And the other spellings look made-up and silly.

I see it as the same as naming your child "street, but as a mn I could stand it. Ru, Ryoo and Ryu aren't variants imo (just look at : Ryo and Ryuu.... and Ru for that matter).Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting

I think of Rue McLanahan who was on Golden Girls and she played Blanche.

Ryu/Ryoo and Rue aren't pronunced the same way in the slightest, so they aren't spelling variations.Besides that,
Main Entry: rue
Function: verb
Inflected Form(s): rued; ru·ing
transitive verb : to feel penitence, remorse, or regret for
intransitive verb : to feel sorrow, remorse, or regretOtherwise, I would Rue very pretty. But as it is, I'd save it for a character--maybe as a middle name.Array

Rue is nice but I could never use it, I always hear road/street, Rue is French for road.Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
