We have our sweet [name_u]Ruby[/name_u] [name_f]Jane[/name_f] and just found out we are having another girl! The problem is, [name_u]Ruby[/name_u] is a vintage name, and most vintage names we don’t like. [name_f]My[/name_f] husband loves [name_f]Emma[/name_f], but it’s way to common for me to use. [name_f]My[/name_f] top name right now is Scotlyn. We love to travel and I feel like this name is one of adventure. I know it doesn’t necessarily “go” well with [name_u]Ruby[/name_u]. I would LOVE suggestions for first and middle name, please!

I know a [name_u]Ruby[/name_u] and her sisters are named [name_f]Katie[/name_f] (but she’s called by her middle name, [name_f]Scarlett[/name_f]) and her other sister is [name_f]Poppy[/name_f]
I really like [name_f]Nora[/name_f] with [name_u]Ruby[/name_u] but I guess that’s probably vintage? Maybe [name_u]Noa[/name_u] or [name_f]Alba[/name_f]? May would also be a really nice option as it’s timeless IMO.

We have [name_f]Noelle[/name_f] on our middle name list! [name_f]Isla[/name_f] is pretty too!

Oh nice! [name_f]Isla[/name_f] [name_f]Noelle[/name_f] would be sweet.
Poppy is fun! I wonder if you could use it as a nickname for a more formal name?

Scarlett would be a great suggestion if it wasn’t another shade of red – feels a little too match-y with [name_u]Ruby[/name_u].
Non-vintage, somewhere between [name_f]Emma[/name_f] and Scotlyn:
[name_u]Arden[/name_u]
[name_u]Emery[/name_u]
[name_f]Esme[/name_f]
[name_u]Hadley[/name_u]
[name_u]Larkin[/name_u]
[name_f]Maren[/name_f]
[name_u]Mirren[/name_u]
[name_f]Winslet[/name_f]
I prefer [name_f]Scotland[/name_f] to Scotlyn — very cool and more distinctive, since it doesn’t have that popular -lyn ending.
I also really like [name_f]Ireland[/name_f] and [name_u]Holland[/name_u], if either of those appeal?

I absolutely adore your daughter’s name! I can see what you mean about feeling a bit locked into a certain naming style–one you don’t necessarily love in general. I don’t think sibling names have to “go together”, but I do kind of love when they do, so I understand wanting that! I’ll second a bunch of the previous suggestions, because there are some that feel so perfect to me that I think they deserve another mention:
Isla
[name_f]Lila[/name_f]
[name_f]Mila[/name_f]
[name_u]Larkin[/name_u]
[name_u]Piper[/name_u]
[name_u]Nova[/name_u]
[name_f]Esme[/name_f]
[name_f]Maren[/name_f]
[name_f]Georgia[/name_f]
[name_u]Willow[/name_u]
I would also add:
Lena

Hmm I feel there’s a couple different ways to brainstorm for [name_u]Ruby[/name_u]. Vintage could be one…
Ella, [name_f]Elsie[/name_f], [name_f]Mae[/name_f], [name_f]Olive[/name_f], [name_f]Ines[/name_f]…
There’s biblical ones:
[name_f]Faith[/name_f], [name_f]Ruth[/name_f], [name_f]Bethel[/name_f], [name_f]Eve[/name_f], [name_f]Esther[/name_f], [name_f]Joy[/name_f], [name_f]Leah[/name_f], [name_f]Chloe[/name_f], [name_f]Naomi[/name_f], [name_f]Phoebe[/name_f], [name_f]Hannah[/name_f], [name_f]Sarah[/name_f], [name_f]Mary[/name_f]
There’s [name_u]Nature[/name_u]-related ones to match the nature related if [name_u]Ruby[/name_u]:
[name_f]Emerald[/name_f], [name_f]Violet[/name_f], [name_f]Rose[/name_f], [name_f]Iris[/name_f], [name_f]Lily[/name_f], [name_f]Opal[/name_f], [name_f]Pearl[/name_f], [name_f]Birdie[/name_f], [name_f]Daisy[/name_f], [name_f]Scarlett[/name_f], [name_u]River[/name_u]
And there’s unisex names…
[name_u]Brooklyn[/name_u]
[name_u]Emerson[/name_u]
[name_f]Locklyn[/name_f]
[name_u]Riley[/name_u]
[name_u]Jordan[/name_u]
[name_u]Rowan[/name_u]
I actually kinda like the “EE” ones with [name_u]Ruby[/name_u]. And I think shirt and sweet seem to flow best.

Oh I really like the suggestions of [name_f]Locklyn[/name_f] and [name_u]Hollis[/name_u]. I kinda like Scotlyn as it feels fresh
There are already some great suggestions here but I will add

[name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] “[name_f]Elsie[/name_f]/Eliza”
[name_f]Emme[/name_f]
Count any repeats as seconds!
Since your husband loves [name_f]Emma[/name_f], have you considered [name_f]Gemma[/name_f]? [name_m]How[/name_m] about [name_f]Emmeline[/name_f] or [name_f]Emilia[/name_f]?
