How is ROUTH a girl's name? Are they not pronouncing it correctly? It rhymes with "SOUTH." What, do they think his last name is "RUTH?" Good Lord! Sometimes it amazes me how ignorant people can be!
Yep, I'm ignorant. Or perhaps just not American? Whichever, if you don't hear the name spoken anywhere (like me), then how are you to know which way to pronounce it? It might help you to know that, in the UK, 'route' rhymes with 'Ruth'.
