Personal experiences with the name Rue: | Edit

I think it's a beautiful name, being a French major and lover of French culture, I have always thought it would so pretty to give to a daughter one day. Although now with the success and popularity of the book series, The Hunger Games, I couldn't see myself using it. Even though I enjoyed the books, I wouldn't want to endure everyone asking if that was why I named her Rue.
