Ruby?

I’m looking for opinions on [name]Ruby[/name].

I like it because it honors my grandmother and little sister, and it also sticks to an alliterative “R” theme that my family sort of has going on. I never really loved it enough as a FN but it has grown on me a lot in the past few weeks and I am now starting to think about it as a FN. WDYT of [name]Ruby[/name], and do you think it fits with [name]Isabelle[/name], [name]Arianne[/name], [name]Olivia[/name], [name]Charlotte[/name], [name]Violet[/name], [name]Rachel[/name], [name]Daphne[/name], etc.? [name]Do[/name] you think [name]Ruby[/name] [name]Richards[/name] sounds too cutesy?

Thanks!

[name]LOVE[/name] [name]Ruby[/name]! So sweet and vintage, great gem stone and color too. Fits great with [name]Isabelle[/name], [name]Arianne[/name], [name]Olivia[/name], [name]Charlotte[/name], [name]Violet[/name] (especially), and [name]Daphne[/name]. [name]Ruby[/name] [name]Richards[/name] isn’t too cutesy at all, I like the alliteration, sounds like she could be a movie star one day!

I love [name]Ruby[/name] – one of my faves! I think it goes nicely with the other names you listed, and [name]Ruby[/name] [name]Richards[/name] is an awesome name! It’s cute, but it also has strength and sass. I’m still trying to decide if it’s too close to pair with [name]Phoebe[/name]…

I love [name]Ruby[/name], and I don’t think [name]Ruby[/name] [name]Richards[/name] is too cutesy. I actually like this sort of alliterative name–I think they’re memorable and have a lot of energy.

I do think that it has a different vibe than your other names, maybe a little more saucy than sweet, but I don’t think it’s so different that it’s incompatible.

I adore [name]Ruby[/name]:slight_smile: I love it with your list. I think it goes nicely, very spunky/sweet, like [name]Daphne[/name].

To pp, I [name]DO[/name] think [name]Phoebe[/name] and [name]Ruby[/name] are pretty close, both end with the [name]BEE[/name] sound…

[name]Love[/name] [name]Ruby[/name]! I love it even more as a FN for you. I think [name]Ruby[/name] [name]Richards[/name] sounds fine, it is not like it is [name]John[/name] [name]Johnson[/name] (yes I have seen that) It is not hard to say either, like [name]Rory[/name] [name]Richards[/name] would be. I think it fits perfectly with your other names. It definitely has the sweet and vintage vibe that you usually go for :slight_smile:

[name]Ruby[/name] is so sweet.:slight_smile: [name]Ruby[/name] [name]Richards[/name] is nice and I think it goes well with [name]Isabelle[/name], [name]Arianne[/name] and [name]Violet[/name]. I especially like it with [name]Violet[/name]!

I love the name [name]Ruby[/name]! It’s a family name, and I’d just love love love to use it (off limits, though, since the person is still living). I think the alliteration is sweet and vintage. For a sib set, I’m not sure if it really fits with the names you have listed. It seems lighter and sweeter (whereas [name]Violet[/name] and Daphe and [name]Isabelle[/name] are a bit, sexy). A sib with something softer like [name]Emma[/name], [name]Anna[/name], [name]Sophia[/name], or [name]Ella[/name] seems more in sync, [name]IMO[/name]. I think as a mn it would work really well with any you listed, esp. [name]Charlotte[/name] [name]Ruby[/name].

Cheers!

I love [name]Ruby[/name]. My great aunt was [name]Ruby[/name] [name]Lola[/name]. I think it’s fabulous. And [name]Ruby[/name] [name]Richards[/name] works. Not too cutesy or matchy. It definitely works with your other names.

Thanks, everyone, for your opinions! I’m still throwing [name]Ruby[/name] around… I like that it is short and sweet but sometimes I wonder if it would really fit in next to a longer name like [name]Isabelle[/name], [name]Arianne[/name], or [name]Olivia[/name], etc. Some of your opinions is what I was worried about–that it is too sassy. I feel like all my favorites are very sweet (lol, [name]Poppy[/name], I do not get the sexy thing about [name]Isabelle[/name] at all!)–and I am afraid that [name]Ruby[/name] might be a bit too sexy with [name]Isabelle[/name], [name]Charlotte[/name], [name]Violet[/name], [name]Arianne[/name], [name]Olivia[/name], etc.

I’m still considering it… I keep going back and forth on it. I’ll see it in writing on here and think it’s so sweet and incredibly perfect, and then the next second I can’t imagine using it myself. I do have [name]Daphne[/name] [name]Imogen[/name] [name]Ruby[/name] on my list… so even if I don’t move it to the FN spot I still do have it on my list.

Thanks for your opinions, ladies!

I completely agree! [name]Ruby[/name] is lovely, fits with your names, and [name]Ruby[/name] [name]Richards[/name] is fine (I think it sounds like old Hollywood glamour, in a good way!)

I adore [name]Ruby[/name]! It’s such a spunky, fun name, and would age really well. Plus, for me, it’s a family name, so what’s not to like? :slight_smile:
[name]Ruby[/name] [name]Richards[/name] is perfectly fine, and doesn’t bother me nearly as much as, say, [name]Eleanor[/name] [name]Richards[/name].
