It's ugly. And, you can't keep your child in a bubble - they will spend their whole lives meeting new people and having to explain their name.

I knew a girl with that name when I was a camp counselor. She pronounced it Ray Oot. Lovely name.

My name is Reut and I live in the USA. Americans have a really hard time pronouncing my name and usually call me "Ray-oot". The correct phonetic pronunciation is like "red boot" without the d and b, "reh-oot". In hebrew it is soft and pretty.

Romy is pretty popular in Israel these days (ROAM-ee). As is the aforementioned Roni. They both work well for non-Hebrew speakers.

I love Raina. It's one of my favorite names starting with any letter.

I'm a Rebecca, so I'm partial to that name. I really like Ruth too though, and Reut - now that I know how to pronounce it - is lovely.
