Made mistake of waiting till she was born to think of a name and with our sleep deprived befuddled minds finding it very hard! Have DD age 3 called Myla, LOVE her name. Finding it hard to find one to match up to but think we may be close. Wanting something unusual but pretty but not too pretty, will grow with her.

Some thoughts please on

Alyssa or
Alta

Or any other suggestions TIA

Christiana congrats on the name choice it is lovely and just ignore darling mother she will get over it, we aren't telling the MIL any name choices as she will probably be horrified lol

Yes doesn't the santa lucia girl chosen have to be the prettiest? smile
I like its history and it's a very international name, as is Ruby- I have known Rubys/Rubis in India, Spain, Mexico, Italy and one who was half-dutch.

Excellent taste christiana grin!!

Hi crumpette, I'm half Swedish and we celebrate Santa Lucia day in the middle of winter, Dec 13th. It's a lovely service, girls wear white dresses with red sashes and carry candles or even have lit real candles in a crown. It's a beautiful way to celebrate light! You probably know this already though!

Christiana I think that name is beautiful, my DD was Lucia (pronounced loo-see-a) and I love the name Ruby, really cute and sparky. Lucia means 'bringer of light' which I think is lovely.

Congratulations, excellent choice smile

Congratulations, christiana!
Ruby Lucia is lovely, and yes I agree your Mum has already done enough where names are concerned!!
I am chuckling at Ruby's first word...directed at your mum..."Dave!"

macherie I am somewhat at your experience with names rudeness!
What on earth were they thinking?

Some people!!

LOL at your mum's comments.
Just train Ruby to call her granny 'Bernard' or something if granny persists in calling her 'Lucia'.
And I reckon Ruby is far easier to spell than Astrid would have been!

I think Ruby Lucia is a really nice choice.

Good choice. Can't see how Ruby is hard to spell tho grin.

Have lots of happy times with her.

I think they are both lovely names.

I saw a girl in the paper the other day called Rebel-Angel hmm
