Which do you think is the nicest and goes best with DD1 Louisa?

So choices are

Ruby Isabella

Olivia Rose

Both are quite similar in terms of popularity where we are.
Many thanks!

I like both, but prefer Olivia Rose with sibling Louisa.

Allalonenow · 16/01/2015 09:11

Both very pretty, but I like Ruby Isabella best, it's got a good upbeat vibe, and Ruby is more unusual than Olivia.

GlitzAndGigglesx · 16/01/2015 09:07

I love Ruby. Really not keen on Olivia, but think Olivia Rose flows better than your other choice

Allstoppedup · 16/01/2015 09:00

Ruby Isobella makes me think of Rubella. Sorry! Blush

Olivia Rose is pretty.

I prefer Ruby and think it goes better with A sister called Louisa.

Louisa and Ruby sound better than Louisa and Olivia in my head!

Mrsindecision · 16/01/2015 08:56

Of the two, I prefer Olivia but I personally wouldn't put either with Louisa as it is such a beautiful, classic and underused name. Nothing wrong with either Olivia or Ruby but fwiw, I would choose Isabella as a first name out of all your choices.
With a name like Louisa, I would choose another underused classic such as Juliet, Clara or Helena. Good luck with your decision making.

Definitely Ruby for me, and goes well with Isabella.

Stars66 · 16/01/2015 07:29

Both are beautiful.
Olivia Rose for me!

Deerhound · 16/01/2015 07:26

Both nice

Ruby sounds friendlier to me

babyblabber · 16/01/2015 07:18

Olivia by a mile. Much prettier, more classic name than Ruby

Nolim · 16/01/2015 06:59

Olivia

Mehitabel6 · 16/01/2015 06:57

Olivia Rose is pretty.
I really dislike Ruby.

I used to hate Ruby but really like it now. That said, both your names are great and and if I had to choose I would go with Olivia but it would be a very close call.

Ihearthickson · 16/01/2015 06:12

Olivia Rose is very pretty and classy but Ruby Isabella sounds more sparky. Ruby for me (could be biased Smile)

Jackieharris · 16/01/2015 05:59

Ruby is much better than Olivia. I really don't understand why that's such a popular name. It makes me think of a greasy smelly olive.
