[name_f]Lucy[/name_f], [name_u]Skye[/name_u], [name_u]Jude[/name_u], & [name_u]Ruby[/name_u] make a flawless set.

Thank you so much :slight_smile:

[name_u]Ruby[/name_u]. The double color thing is very charming, actually. And [name_f]Penelope[/name_f] is too long and awkward with your other three.

I know a woman named [name_u]Ruby[/name_u] [name_u]Green[/name_u] and no one ever made fun of her name. I think us berries just way over analyze names.She is so sweet and her name fits her. [name_u]Love[/name_u] [name_u]Ruby[/name_u]! What is middle name going to be?

Keeping your theme in mind, I think [name_u]Penny[/name_u] is perfect! (but honestly, [name_u]Ruby[/name_u] is a very close second).

Here’s an idea as a tie breaker: write down each name five times on little pieces of paper, put them in a bowl, have someone else draw a name and say “Your daughter’s name is …”

When you hear the name are you thrilled or disappointed? If you are thrilled - that’s your name, if you’re disappointed - you know the other name is what you really love.

This sort of happened to me, by accident. When I was pregnant with my third I had mentioned a name I liked to a friend who emailed me back a few weeks later and said, “Oh I can’t wait to meet your little …” I saw the name in print and I had an immediate negative reaction and I knew that wasn’t the name.

Whatever you pick, after a few months you won’t be able to imagine her with any other name!

good luck!

I really like [name_f]Penelope[/name_f] with your surname and [name_u]Penny[/name_u] with your sibling set. Is [name_f]Ella[/name_f] completely off the table? It might not have gotten a lot of love in the past thread, but I think it goes perfectly with [name_f]Lucy[/name_f], [name_u]Skye[/name_u] and [name_u]Jude[/name_u].

[name_u]Ruby[/name_u] [name_u]Green[/name_u] is great! It sounds gorgeous with your other children, and the colour thing is really funky.

I do feel like [name_f]Penelope[/name_f] is too long compared to the others. That’s what I keep toeing my hubby!

Thank you so much. Honestly in the beginning I didn’t think it was a big deal with my last name. Then when I came on here, I really heard al the negatives. Which is fine, that’s why I’m asking people. [name_f]My[/name_f] friend compared it to naming the baby violet [name_m]Greene[/name_m], I don’t think it’s the same. I feel like violet is a color. [name_u]Ruby[/name_u] is a gem that is red. [name_f]Do[/name_f] you agree ?

So you like [name_f]Ella[/name_f] best? I do [name_u]LOVE[/name_u] [name_f]Ella[/name_f]. I had decided at one point it was [name_f]Ella[/name_f] [name_u]Ruby[/name_u] [name_m]Greene[/name_m] and I was going to call her [name_f]Ella[/name_f] rue but everyone voted against [name_f]Ella[/name_f] on the other threads.

This is tough! I like [name_f]Penelope[/name_f] [name_u]Green[/name_u] better as a full name but, I feel as though [name_u]Ruby[/name_u] goes better with your sibset. Hmm…?

I am so excited you know a [name_u]Ruby[/name_u] [name_m]Greene[/name_m] and no one makes fun of her name. [name_m]How[/name_m] old is she?
If I do name her ruby it will either be
[name_u]Ruby[/name_u] [name_f]Celeste[/name_f]
[name_u]Ruby[/name_u] [name_f]Christine[/name_f]

What do you think?

Keeping with your theme, [name_u]Penny[/name_u] sounds best. The colour thing with [name_u]Ruby[/name_u] bugs me.

Ooh, that’s hard to choose! I ended up voting for [name_f]Penelope[/name_f] ([name_u]Penny[/name_u]) because I think that [name_u]Ruby[/name_u] and [name_f]Lucy[/name_f] are too close since they would sound similar and [name_u]Skye[/name_u] and [name_u]Jude[/name_u] would be left out of the “similar sounds” theme. Also the other three are VERY Beatles and [name_u]Ruby[/name_u] isn’t. What is your favourite middle for [name_f]Penelope[/name_f]?
But there is nothing wrong with [name_u]Ruby[/name_u], I like it equally as a name, I just prefer [name_f]Penelope[/name_f] with your sibset. [name_u]Ruby[/name_u] [name_f]Celeste[/name_f] is beautiful! It is also four letters, like your other kids names.
Good luck:D

I like [name_u]Ruby[/name_u]. It is very cohesive with your sibset…in sound and in length.

I like [name_f]Penelope[/name_f] but less than [name_u]Ruby[/name_u]. And I don’t like that the name is so much longer than your others.
[name_u]Penny[/name_u] solves that…if [name_u]Penny[/name_u] itself were an option, I’d rate it much higher than [name_f]Penelope[/name_f].

Final vote: [name_u]RUBY[/name_u] [name_f]CELESTE[/name_f]

Yes. I think it fits in well with your surname and goes best with your children. [name_u]Ruby[/name_u] goes well also, but I heavily associate it with the color red, so to me [name_u]Ruby[/name_u] [name_m]Greene[/name_m] is very descriptive.

I also like that [name_f]Ella[/name_f] is around the same length, while [name_f]Penelope[/name_f] looks very long next to [name_u]Jude[/name_u], [name_f]Lucy[/name_f] and [name_u]Skye[/name_u]. In the end I think you should just go with what you love. We all have very different taste and opinions on here. When it comes to naming your daughter it’s completely up to you and your spouse. You never know you might end up picking [name_u]Ruby[/name_u] beforehand than see her sweet little face and think [name_f]Ella[/name_f] suits her better. Good luck! :slight_smile:

[name_f]Ella[/name_f] [name_u]Ruby[/name_u]/[name_f]Ella[/name_f] [name_u]Rue[/name_u] is very sweet, btw.

[name_u]Ruby[/name_u] is one of my favs!

I am not sure about [name_f]Penelope[/name_f]'s middle name…
I am thinking
[name_f]Penelope[/name_f] [name_u]Ruby[/name_u]
[name_f]Penelope[/name_f] [name_f]Celeste[/name_f]
[name_f]Penelope[/name_f] hope
What do you think?

Thank you… Me too :slight_smile:
