Maggie reminds me of Thatcher, and Ruby and Skye both feel quite trendy. I guess I'd pick Skye.

I didn't think I'd see that name on here! Maggie is the name we will be giving to our next child if she is a she of course! So obviously, Maggie is my favourite (it will be in honour if my nan)

I have a niece called Ruby - it suits her so well the cheeky minx!

Maggie is very cool.

Skye is quite nice.

Not keen on Ruby.

I prefer Maggie, but don't think it goes well with Millie.

Don't like Ruby at all.

Quite like Skye.

NadiaWadia · 29/10/2014 15:31

Ruby by miles.

I was going to be another vote for Maggie until I saw your last post. Millie and Maggie are way too similar.

Ruby feels very trendy.

Skye is sweet but it lacks substance for me. It's quite sweet on a child but lacks something for an adult. Also it feels a bit like a dog's name.

Agree with Ruby becoming too popular. Shame really We already have a Millie - does Millie and Maggie sound a bit too similar/funny together?

Love Maggie, very nearly DD1's name but chickened out at the last minute as she arrived just after the departure of 'Thatcher the Milk Snatcher'. But we let slip to both sets of GPs about DD1 nearly name and they expressed their relief... so now we can't DD2 it! Rarrr

Ruby there will be millions of them at school etc, may not be a problem for you.

Skye is nice but always reminds me of late 80s Neighbours.

Maggie is my favourite. Love it.

I used to like Ruby but it's just far too popular and has lost it's charm.

I don't like Skye.

Maggie - lovely. Not so keen on the other two.
