Ruby or Lola

[SaraJS216]

Which do you prefer? (If either!)

[sadpapercourtesan]

Ruby

[MadeOfStarStuff]

Both lovely! I think I slightly prefer Ruby

[Unreasonabubble]

Ruby.

Lola will still make people think of transvestites if they are a certain age (Grandparents).

[DramaAlpaca]

Ruby by a long way.

Not Lola.

[bookish83]

Ruby

Both both make me think of names people give dogs like Pugs. Sorry

[ILoveStickers]

Ruby

[Mermaid2007]

Ruby is lovely

[CeeceeBloomingdale]

They are both nice but I prefer Ruby. I know quite a few Lola's and a couple of Ruby's.

[MajorNeville]

Ruby

[GreyhoundG1rl]

Ruby. Lola is ubiquitous and not particularly nice to begin with.

[DeusEx]

@bookish83

Ruby

I agree they sound to me like puppy names...

[whatsoccuringnow]

Neither, sorry. Ruby is too popular. Lola- puppy's name.

[Ahbahbahbah]

Ruby.

Or Robina if you like that sort of sound and want something unusual.

I’m afraid Lola immediately makes me sing “she was a dancer”

[whatsoccuringnow]

Having said that I have one with a very popular name and one with a name everyone hates!! So whichever you love most

[Troyhelena]

Ruby

[helpmum2003]

I like them both. Very pretty names. Can't really decide which I prefer. Do you have a middle name?

[MixedClassBaby]

Lola - it's a lovely name.

[NeverHadANickname]

Ruby

[Aprilshowersandhail]

Wasn't Lola a showgirl?

[Troyhelena]

@Aprilshowersandhail she was

[DotDotDotDotDot]

I’d choose Ruby definitely, still quite popular but less so than 10-15 years ago. I used to quite like Lola but then someone mentioned on a thread here that they associate it with Lolita so that really put me off the name, but maybe I’m easily swayed?

[Ahbahbahbah]

You’re both right! A showgirl. I’ve been singing the wrong lyrics for years

[Hufflepuffsunite]

Ruby. I do like Lola too actually but prefer Ruby.

[Happycat1212]

Ruby,
not robina! Sounds like Ribena😕

[Happycat1212]

Hate lola
