Love this, Ruth! It’s so interesting to hear about your feelings about your name, and I love the company you keep! (Ginsberg, Gordon, Babe and more!) Wonderful about your copy of The Book of Ruth. I have a sister-in-law named Ruth and my Mom (who adored her) always called her ‘Baby Ruth’ ☺️ Thanks for this lovely post. (I was named after a hat shop in Québéc and my life changed in 1974 when Dolly’s song 🎶 came out!

Strangers have been singing to me when they first meet me for almost 50 years! 🤣
