RE:Husband Stuck on a Name
Thank you all for the laughs and communal head shaking. I've got a note started in my phone of names and I add to it when I hear one I like. I told him to do the same, but he's probably just going to open up an R. A. Salvatore novel. 🤣 (Baby Drizzt anyone??) We'll see in September!

RE:Milania too similar to…
@mommy21boy1girl, Michelle and Hillary are very common American names. Currently, It would def come to my mind that a baby Milania was an homage to Trump.

Are Ruth and Ruby too similar?
I all of my kids’ names start with R. I already have a daughter Ruby and a daughter Robin. A son Reagan. We’re having our final baby and gender is a surprise but struggling with girl options. Ruth is my favorite but is that too close to Ruby? Also liking Reign potentially but Ruth is the only one I’m really sold on.
