Would choose Ruby as the other two sound very American. Ruby is quite popular at the moment, don't know whether that is a consideration?

Of those three Ruby.

Taylor is, I suppose, very unisex but I think of Hayden as very much a boy's name and neither of them are very pretty names imo.

Please avoid Hayden, it reminds me of actress Hayden Panettiere (sp?) or Hayden Christensen who I think is a man, and anyway it's also a bit like Hades ie god of the underworld etc.

Ruby is very nice.

Taylor sounds like she is on Ricki Lake with Wynette and Lakeesha.

In my opinion, Hayden and Taylor sound like surnames or boys names. Ruby is lovely. It is a fairly popular name, which sometimes puts people off, although I'm fairly sure there has never been a class full of children solely called Jack and Emily, or whatever.

Out of those three, I guess Ruby...but the popularity of the name would definitely put me off.
With regard to the other two...agree with Tidey and Ladidadi.
If I was you, I would put my thinking cap back on .

I dont want something that is too popular as i doubt its fun being one of many at school,

I also like ...

Kaitlin (not sure which spelling of the name though)
Lola
Madalyn (again not sure of the spelling)

Any suggestions?? I dont seem to go for names that are too traditional or popular? I dont think this little girls will have a name for some time when shes born, i cnt seem to find a name i really love

I don't like any-Ruby is best but there are a lot of them about.

Lola reminds me of Lolita (v bad) and Charlie and Lola (could be a problem in nursery). Lola as a nickname for a longer name is fine. Alternatively, Lila? Lilia?

I like the spelling Madeleine.

Don't panic yet!

Ruby is the best out of the 3 - but it's very popular now, if you're looking to see what other people are doing.

Caitlin (it's spelt with a C!)- also very popular

Like Lola and Madeleine. Madalyn is notthe right spelling, but it depends if you're going for the common name-made up spelling approach.

I've a suspicion that the way to avoid being "one of many" at school is to go for something like Sarah or Nicola as I dont' think anyone's using these types of names these days!

How do you pronounce Caitlin? I've always thought it was Kat-LEEN but someone near us calls her daughter KATE-lin.

I like Madeleine and Caitlin (either pronunciation) best.

Ruby is okay but definitely v popular. I'm afraid I really don't like your other 2 original names- they are just too masculine for a girl imo. The others are okay. How about:

Jude
Sadie
Eden

I have tried to think of names in a similar style which you might like.
