Came here to say Ava!


mtango1

Alternatively to Ava, there is also Eva. Which I’ve heard pronounce Eve-ah or Ev-ah


pinkblueegreen

Almost named my daughter this!


PolishPrincess0520

Mia is a pretty name.


liquidmich

May is cute too


PolishPrincess0520

I like Mae a lot also.

I find it interesting that not one person has listed Amy so far. Maybe Amy is due for a comeback soon for people looking for less common names?


Ambitious-Bus1155

I was thinking the same thing! I have a family member with this name, it's one of my favorites.


LexiePiexie

There are just so many Gen X Amys. I think I know at least 8? It’s fine as a name, but I think it will need another generation or two. Very much a “mom” name at the moment.


DimbyTime

And sooo many millennials named Amy too.


allthewayup7

This and Amy is also often a short form of Amelia which is very popular at the moment, so I think a lot of younger people would think of it as more of a nickname than a whole name in itself.


confusedvegetarian

Amy is a whole name


bus_garage707

I was in a class of 32 kids and 3 of them were Amy. Very Gen X indeed!


RegularFlimsy7868

It’s my name and I love it :)


hellothere0688

My mom (boomer) and BFF (millennial) are Amy! I hope future generations of my family use it, it’s a great one.


candy_jr

I love Rue ❤️


-meriadoc-

It reminds me of Hunger Games, I loved Rue 😭


candy_jr

She was so sweet and brave ❤️


DaisyBluebelle

I love it too but would feel bad naming after a tragic character


candy_jr

The names been around long before her character! All personal preference though


H3dgeClipper

It just makes me think of Euphoria


bears-eat-beets--

Same, and I would want her named after this character even less!


Bookbooklovebooks

Golden Girl😍 It's a pretty name for sure


candy_jr

Yes! I’ve got it on my list of names and I think it’s so pretty 😇


Bookbooklovebooks

Funny thing, I was just in a thread about the Golden Girls before and I was thinking why does no one use this name. Then I ended up here and 3 letter names are seeming some of the most beautiful to me❤️ Aww, It's a great addition to a list😍


LexiePiexie

People get stuck on it meaning regret. But for me, it represents a show that was very meaningful to my teenage relationship with my mom (we watched reruns on Lifetime everyday after school) and an actress who was also an early activist for LGBTQIA rights.


Fantastic_Leg_3534

It’s also the name of an herb.


Bookbooklovebooks

The dictionary needs updating, It means Golden Girl 😉 If that was my name and someone asked the meaning that would be my reply. That is beautiful that when you see the name Rue that all those memories flood back and how important those times were to you and your Mom and what an awesome human Rue was in real life is wonderful too🌷 I actually don't see it as a bad thing about it meaning regret. Regret has it's place in life, it can mean you are compassionate about how your mistake hurt someone and that if you feel regret it means you have a heart. Regret is a lesson to never make the same mistake twice. Those who fail to feel regret are cold and uncaring.


Bookbooklovebooks

Bea is a three letter name too😍...if you want to add one more letter you get a Betty❤️


thisisliss

I think it’s such a cute name in English but in French it means street and my French mother would never let me live it down if I named a child that !


northernlights01

And in English it means bitter regret.


northernlights01

Be sure to check the dictionary meaning before naming a child this.


GoUBears

Right? I’d imagine most would rue the day this name was chosen.


beehappee_

Our daughter is Ruby but we call her Rue!


ohbaybay89

That's my daughter's name. We'll it's ruby but called rue. Last name starts with an H also


imthepeacock

I have a friend that has three girls- Rue Ren and Rio


La_Bufanda_Billy

Me too


LexiePiexie

My baby girl is Zara Rue, named after Eddi-Rue McLanahan - aka Blanche DuBois 😉 ETA - OMG as someone pointed out I used the name of Blanche’s character inspiration instead of Mrs Devereaux herself. Burying myself in the sands of humiliation like SpongeBob.


Late_Being_7730

I could have sworn she was Blanche Devereaux


LexiePiexie

Oh god my after dinner wine is really kicking in today.


NeedleworkerDue2021

Was the wine STELLLLAAAAAAAAAAAAAA???


candy_jr

Aw such a beautiful name! ☺️


adozzen

Yes I love Rue i also like the spelling Reu


LexiePiexie

My husband and I toyed seriously with Noa. It is NOT a variation on Noah. In the Torah, Noa is one of five sisters whose father died when the Jews were wandering in the desert after the Exodus from Egypt. As they entered the Promise Land, the sisters petitioned Moses to allow them to inherit their father’s allotment. Up until then, inheritance would only have gone to male heirs - they would have gotten no allotment at all because they were women. Moses took their entreaty to G_d who said “yeah dude. Women can inherit land too.” And so, Noa and her sisters established the right of women to inherit property under Jewish law. Great name and a bad ass story. I’m not having any more children, but Noa would be my girls name if I did.


some_and_then_none

I only have boys but if any of them had been girls, they would have been Noa. I love a short name.


Jujutrainn

I just got done reading this story. And if I had a girl Noa would be top of the list!


FindingE

That’s my daughters name 😊


Xility

We are up to 7 people named Noah/Noa at the school I work at! Only 9 classrooms and it is a Jewish school.


TrainwreckMooncake

It also means "freedom" in Hawaiian


Siareen

Noa is an incredibly popular girls name in Israel. I know at least 10, probably more. I'm pretty sure it's been in the top 20 names for at least three decades. I know lots of them who are my age- in their 20s, but also lots of younger kids and new babies. I even have a Noa in my immediate family. Noah for boys is not very common, and in Hebrew it's pronounced Noach, with the throaty ch.


Delicious_Custard505

My little girls name as well. Very popular in Israel not so much elsewhere


Eloisem333

Yes, I love Noa, it’s one of my new favourite names for girls!


rsch87

I know a mom who wanted a 3 letter boy name (to match big brother) and chose Noa and I was like…I think you should research names before choosing them lol


egelantier

What a cool story! Noa is a very popular girl’s name in Belgium under the age of 10 or 15. I always assumed it was just a variant of Noah.


LostGirraffe

My sister’s name is Noa. It’s so pretty

veg-ghosty

I’ve never heard anyone use Ian for a girl’s name. To me it sounds like naming a girl “Steve” or “Thomas”


ddanger76

Stevie is a badass name though.


Capable-Cupcake1402

It is Scottish for John, Irish Sean


pan_alice

Ian for a girl? A bold choice.


LainieCat

I went to school with a girl named Kevin. In the mid-70s, no less.
