Re: new baby...interesting name
in reply to a message by mirfak
Ruth and Merrilee have such different feelings to me. Together they scream under-educated conservative Christian, a type of person I don't like.

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.
Of course... I'm a snob and unsure of myself so much that I can't help but find fault with my husband's ex-girlfriend
I would never ever like the name of a husband's ex's child, even if it were like Minerva
I might still love the name - but I'd resent it a lot.
It'd sting if we knew anything at all about her continued existence, though.
Her name (not to stray too far off Name Opinions) was Weiping (Wei Ping?). I thought it was unfortunate, since it looks and sounds somewhat close to the word 'wiping.' But then, I would think that. lol
