Girl Names

We’ve been struggling with names since we found out that we’re having a little girl (actually before!). The one name that I keep coming back to is [name]Ruby[/name]. I like that it ends in a ‘y’ and reminds me of my own name and that it’s short and sweet. It also seems to go well with our son’s name, [name]Wyatt[/name]. Still, I worry that it’s harsh and/ or common (our last name starts with S and is pretty much the most common name around).

We have tried out other names but one of us always ends up rejecting them. Some we’ve considered and let go of are:

[name]Flora[/name]
[name]Hazel[/name]
[name]Mabel[/name]
[name]Daphne[/name]
[name]Marlowe[/name]
[name]Fiona[/name]

So now we’re getting close… and we both like [name]Ruby[/name] but aren’t totally sold. Any suggestions for similar names, unique-ish but not too wild. Middle name will be [name]Alice[/name] btw.

Thanks so much!

[name]Ruby[/name] [name]Alice[/name] is so sweet. [name]Ruby[/name] isn’t that popular where I live so I would use it in a heartbeat. When I think of [name]Ruby[/name] I think of [name]Stella[/name] and [name]Lucy[/name].

[name]Cassandra[/name] [name]Alice[/name]
[name]Lucinda[/name] [name]Alice[/name]
[name]Arianna[/name] [name]Alice[/name]
[name]Sylvia[/name] [name]Alice[/name]

[name]Daphne[/name] [name]Alice[/name] is a great combo! The name [name]Ruby[/name] is only two-syllables and needs something a bit longer.

[name]Ruby[/name] [name]Arabella[/name]
[name]Ruby[/name] [name]Josephine[/name]
[name]Ruby[/name] [name]Lucinda[/name]

I like [name]Ruby[/name] but understand your concern there are quite a few [name]Ruby[/name]'s where I live. Thinking of y sound ending names, though some will be spelt ie & most are nn:

[name]Annie[/name]
[name]Betty[/name]
[name]Elsie[/name]
[name]Hattie[/name]
[name]Ivy[/name]
[name]Lotty[/name]
[name]Molly[/name]
[name]Polly[/name]
[name]Peggy[/name]
[name]Penny[/name]
[name]Tilly[/name]

Another route would be to use an alternative gemstone name like [name]Pearl[/name]?
