Re: new baby...interesting name
in reply to a message by vigdis
I don't know, maybe because Ruth is so old fashioned to me, I see it as a bit less ignorant. It's got a super different feeling than Jonah and Calla (and Merrilee), which have that sort of wild-eyed megachurch jumbotron christian vibe.

Ruth just sounds like somebody's grandma to me; I know it's Biblical but it doesn't even have that vibe to it. Jonah does have more of the Megachurch feel to it, but Calla doesn't at all. Calla just sounds vaguely Hollywood. Merrilee sounds like a sixties debutante from Mississippi.
