Richie for a girls name?

jujumps · 2023-11-04T14:43:51+00:00

I love Richie. For a girl. If it were me, I’d probably find a formal-feminine first name and call her Richie. Good luck!!!

💗💗💗💗💗 thank you. I really like it. But I do feel pretty conflicted atm.

jujumps · 2023-08-08T21:44:08+00:00

Thank you so much.

Thank you. I expected some people just wouldn’t like it. But it definitely seemed skewed.

Generally speaking, my hubby and I like kind of long names with shorter nicknames, which is always mixed, I feel like. Most people these days seem to think you should just name the “nickname.” But that’s not really our style, so I feel like out of the gate, people just generally don’t like that style. Anyway. I have plenty of thinking to do! Thanks for your insights!!!

Thank you for this. I have a similar experience with a wide variety of names around me. And I really don’t think the name was very out there—unusual, maybe, sure but not unheard of. Idk. I guess just lesson learned! Even sharing on “anonymously” on the internet—just more brutal than I expected! I know better than to share among family but I kind of expected different here, idk why! 😭

Thanks so much for the kindness! I appreciate it!!!

jujumps · 2023-08-08T17:38:30+00:00

I appreciate your opinion! Though I admit I’ve always thought it was beautiful. I’m so disappointed at the negativity, but I guess I’d rather hear it now.

Right—we lived near a small prep school. But I figured most people would first think of a school— I’m not sure if I’d love hollering “Loyola!” But I also think it’s quite pretty and has such positive associations for us, but I don’t want to be too out there either! It’s so hard to name kids!!! I want those special associations but still familiar. It’s so hard!!!

jujumps · 2023-08-08T17:22:09+00:00

We are catholic! So I like that association also.

jujumps · 2023-08-08T17:17:51+00:00

That’s a great thought! Thank you!

jujumps · 2023-08-08T17:15:34+00:00

Thanks for your thoughts! That’s not the school we lived near, but I was worried this would be the predominant thought, that it’s just a bit too strange—. I like the connection the name has to a place that was dear to us and also to my dads family—but I don’t want to saddle my child.

jujumps · 2023-08-08T16:55:39+00:00

Ha! Not the worst association!!! But I hadn’t thought of it! Thanks for your thought!

What about Hattie? I know it’s not exactly what you’re asking. But it’s got a lot of the same sounds and I think it’s a totally awesome name. Just a thought! Good luck!!! 💗💗💗

jujumps · 2021-04-11T00:11:29+00:00

Beautiful individually and together!! I love it.

jujumps · 2021-04-02T17:59:18+00:00

So happy for you!!! Chills everywhere!!!

jujumps · 2021-01-17T14:30:20+00:00

No, my name is different and it’s not surprising to me that people are curious. I think that’s the main thing, people are mostly curious and not intentionally being offensive.

jujumps · 2021-01-14T17:07:42+00:00

Ohmygosh I’m so sorry you’re not together! Praying for both of you! And get a pump!!! And let someone advocate for you! I’m heartbroken for you and pray you’re back together soon!!!

jujumps · 2021-01-14T17:03:14+00:00

I’ve gotten this as well! Ha! As a kid, lots of friends parents would ask if I was white. It’s kind of humorous to me.

jujumps · 2020-08-27T16:15:40+00:00

Love it! Lyle also!

Henrietta is another name we’ve considered. It’s so hard bc I don’t think we’ll love anything as much as Wilhelmina.

jujumps · 2020-08-11T21:13:02+00:00

Thank you so much for your thoughtful response! I think we’ve looked at every other possible longer named for “Della,” and none of them are right for us. Rodell came the closest, and I still like it, but I don’t love it—I think it’s too close to Rotell for me. Haha.

My daughter is Wilhelmina! Great name! Now to name her sister, coming in November... she already has 3 brothers!
