Well both names are shades of colours, would you like to keep with that theme? You could have Ruby or Rose for a girl?

Wasn't intentionally doing a theme, but 2 names we love. Not so keen on Rose and Ruby, guess they're so widely used it puts me off a bit. Guess I'm more interested in what boys names go with them!

Agree they are both gorgeous names! Amber, Jade or Scarlett are maybe a bit less used? I know someone who called there kids after colours- they've called them indigo and Cyan- maybe that's a bit too 'out there' though!!

Is Indigo for a boy or girl? I could think of some good girls ones but boys seem really difficult for our style! Quite like Robin.

Bella is really cute. Or just Belle.

Great names!! I have an ivy and would have an olive if I had 2 girls!! I just had a boy and found boys names so much harder. But here was my little list.
Digby (love this)
Silas/ sylvester ( to continue my green/ tres theme... Means lives in a wood... Which we do!!!)
Wilbur
Crosby
Ezra
I also like jasper but that was vetoed straight away!?

Hope this helps
