She’s due this week! After going back and forth on long vs. short middle names, we’re down to two short and sweet MNs. Please let me know which one you prefer!
[name]Ruby[/name] [name]Cate[/name]
[name]Ruby[/name] [name]Mae[/name]
I like [name]Ruby[/name] [name]Cate[/name] more. [name]Ruby[/name] [name]Mae[/name] is adorable, but it feels a bit cutesy to me. Besides, I just like [name]Cate[/name] in general more than [name]Mae[/name]! 
[name]Both[/name] are really sweet, though.
Good luck!
[name]Ruby[/name] [name]Mae[/name] is adorable! It sounds like the name of a little Southern [name]Belle[/name]!
I love [name]Ruby[/name] [name]Cate[/name] (I’m not partial or anything, beings I’m [name]Kate[/name] 
) I think [name]Ruby[/name] [name]Mae[/name] sounds like a grandma IMHO. [name]Ruby[/name] was popular in the early 19th century while [name]Mae[/name] was popular in the 1800’s. Obviously they are both classics that have withstood the test of time. I just feel like [name]Ruby[/name] [name]Cate[/name] has a slight modern feel to it.
I do love [name]Mae[/name] but I prefer [name]Ruby[/name] [name]Cate[/name] as a combo.
I love [name]Mae[/name], but I think [name]Ruby[/name] [name]Cate[/name] just sounds perfect together. Congratulations on your daughter’s upcoming birth! She’s going to have such a beautiful name.
I adore [name]Ruby[/name]! My closest friend’s name is [name]Ruby[/name] [name]Jean[/name] so I’m going to use [name]Ruby[/name] as a middle name to honour her. I think out of thee two, my favourite is [name]Ruby[/name] [name]Mae[/name]. I’d probably prefer [name]Ruby[/name] [name]Catherine[/name] (nn “[name]Ruby[/name] [name]Cate[/name]”) over both, but that wasn’t an option.
Congrat and good luck!
[name]Ruby[/name] [name]Mae[/name] is a little expected, [name]Ruby[/name] [name]Cate[/name] gets my vote. It’s adorable!
My daughter is named Jacquelyn Kate so I could only vote for Kate/Cate prefer K spelling. I think Mae sounds a bit plain.
Best wishes

Firstly I love the name [name]Ruby[/name]! As for the middle name I think I like [name]Ruby[/name] [name]Mae[/name] best. I think [name]Cate[/name] spelt that way just looks like it’s short for [name]Catherine[/name] but maybe if you did [name]Ruby[/name] [name]Kate[/name]? Either way they are both lovely and you can’t really go wrong.
You can’t go wrong either way. I [name]LOVE[/name] them both. I love [name]Cate[/name] with that spelling. It looks sophisticated to me. My great grandma was [name]Bonnie[/name] [name]Mae[/name]. My great-great aunt was [name]Ruby[/name] [name]Lola[/name]. [name]Ruby[/name] [name]Mae[/name] is fantastic, and I’m partial to both of the names, but I think [name]Ruby[/name] [name]Cate[/name] feels a bit more polished to me, so I’d probably go with that.
[name]Ruby[/name] [name]Cate[/name] makes me immediately think of the verbs ‘rubricate’ and ‘ruminate.’ Also find the strange spelling of [name]Cate[/name] off-putting. I prefer [name]Ruby[/name] [name]Mae[/name], I think it’s simple and really pretty.
[name]Ruby[/name] [name]Cate[/name]! Sounds fresh and modern whereas [name]Ruby[/name] [name]Mae[/name] sounds too southern, unless you are going for that. : ) My sister and I both love [name]Mae[/name] as a middle but were both unable to use it as our married names are both verbs. Something to watch out for. Ex. [name]Anna[/name] [name]Mae[/name] Cook.
I agree that [name]Ruby[/name] [name]Mae[/name] feels a little southern. I like [name]Ruby[/name] [name]Cate[/name], but only if it is spelled [name]Ruby[/name] [name]Kate[/name]. It shouldn´t make a difference, but [name]Cate[/name] just feels really masculine to me… like [name]Caden[/name]. I also agree with what one of the other posters said, that it sounds like a verb or a word when it blends together. If it were me, I would go with a longer middle name to balance out [name]Ruby[/name]… [name]Ruby[/name] [name]Madeline[/name], [name]Ruby[/name] [name]Cordelia[/name], [name]Ruby[/name] [name]Penelope[/name], [name]Ruby[/name] [name]Annabel[/name] etc. Goodluck!
Ruby MaeIf you spelt it [name]Ruby[/name] [name]Kate[/name] I would change my vote. I simply have an issue with the RC initials. My sister a [name]Rachel[/name] [name]Catherine[/name] dislikes her RC (Arsey) initials and the Arsey by name Arsey by nature jokes.
[name]Ruby[/name] [name]Cate[/name] by a mile! Very sweet.
Although I prefer [name]Mae[/name], I think [name]Ruby[/name] [name]Cate[/name] has a little more spunk than [name]Ruby[/name] [name]Mae[/name]. If you’re still undecided, bring both names to the hospital with you and choose after you meet your baby girl.
Definitely [name]Ruby[/name] [name]Mae[/name].
Ooh I love both but [name]Ruby[/name] [name]Cate[/name] sounds a bit more commanding so it gets my vote. Either way they are both Fabulous.
My vote goes to [name]Ruby[/name] [name]Mae[/name]! But you couldn’t go wrong either way.
