Another R?

7 replies

JolandaGuest ·
I'm 5 months pregnant with our 3rd baby, and I'm under huge stress, having sleepless nights and headaches because I'm obsessing over a name!

My two daughters' first names both happen to start with the same letter (R).
I've had a boy's name in mind for a few years now, and I still like it.
But it's another R...

Should I do it or not??

For a girl, I have other names in mind...and I can't really come up with a nice name starting with R...
Except Robin (maybe I'd rather have a "real" girl's name) or Ruby (my 16-year-old neighbor girl is also called that )
I'm so worried about this, because if we have another baby later...I'll force myself to go with an R again...
And maybe I won't like any more names starting with R...
By the way, they have multiple names, so the middle name isn't really an issue.
My daughters are named Richella & Roos

Opinions, advice, and ideas are welcome!!!!

    You don't have to do anything, and you don't need to. The king also has three A's, so why not you have three R's? But you can still choose a different initial letter now.

    If a fourth child comes along and you want to (then) pick a different initial letter, you can just do that.

    When I hear Ruby, I think of that underage prostitute Ruby, the heartbreaker, who was at a party at Berlusconi's.

    Rowen or Roy or Rik

    I like it when all the names start with the same letter.
    With my brother and my little brother, we all start with a J.

    Why not?

    I'm also a family with three kids: Richard, Raymond, and Ramona. Do they also have to go through the process? Day will eventually receive the mail later, right?

    I personally find it really nice when all the names start with the same letter.

    My friend has 4 names with a J.
