Thanks everyone. I'd come round to the idea of Thea but Dh has now decided he's not sure after all 🙈 So we might just have to wait till she's here and decide!

Thea is my favourite, then Ruby.
Don't like Cleo at all.

Kazzawazza69 · 21/04/2017 12:47

Cleo and Thea are both lovely. Ruby is ok but I think the other 2 go better with Evie.

Evie with Thea, Ruby or Cleo??

I think Evie goes with classic names like Theadora.

Nonameyet1 · 20/04/2017 20:39

Ruby and Thea are lovely. Where I'm from, Ruby doesn't seem to be over popular.

Not a fan of Cleo I'm afraid.

I like Cleo a lot, not a fan of Thea. Ruby is nice but very common; there are loads at DCs school.

What about Clea? A mix of Cleo and Thea?

elderlee · 17/04/2017 10:31

I think Thea goes best with Evie, and I also love the name! I have a great friend called Thea and I think it's beautiful. I also love Ruby, my lovely littlest sister was going to be called Ruby. However, I don't think it goes as well with Evie.

mum2be2boys · 12/04/2017 17:03

In order of preference: Thea, Ruby, Cleo.
I think Ruby sounds better with Evie though.
Cleo is a cat or a car to me I'm afraid.

ArseyTussle · 12/04/2017 16:53

Cleo!!

Thea is nice, but Ruby is ridiculously popular.

BounceBounceSplishSplash · 12/04/2017 16:37

Thea is my favourite and goes best with Evie imo. Really don't like Ruby, it's very overused and doesn't sound right with Evie.

CarrieWatermelon · 12/04/2017 14:52

All nice names. Cleo is my favourite, though.

Mrsknackered · 12/04/2017 14:25

Loooove Thea and Cleo.
Hate Ruby. It's just so over used. Jonathan Woss pronouncing it Wooby was the final straw for me.

harderandharder2breathe · 12/04/2017 13:50

Ruby goes best with Evie imo but I love Thea as well. Not a fan of Cleo sorru

MitzyLeFrouf · 12/04/2017 12:34

I don't hate the name Ruby I just know SO MANY of them. SO MANY RUBIES.

I like Cleo... Ruby is really lovely. I personally don't like Thea.

Clio would.be super pretty imo.

Sugarpiehoneyeye · 12/04/2017 11:19

❤️ Ruby.
Evie and Ruby.

MrsDrSpencerReid · 12/04/2017 06:43

Thea all the way.

Cleo is a good name for a Siamese cat Grin

YoullNeverWeeAlone · 11/04/2017 22:56

I wanted a Thea, DH did not.

Cleo is a Siamese cat, but i appreciate that's a personal connection and it is a lovely name.

I know about 400 Rubys (Rubies?!?) - and that is only a slight exaggeration. Don't dislike it at all, but if super popular is a consideration for you, you wouldn't want a Ruby round these parts.

PlymouthMaid1 · 11/04/2017 22:52

I like all three names.

DramaAlpaca · 11/04/2017 22:50

I like Cleo best with Evie.

Ruby would be my second choice.

I'm not keen on Thea.

SuperBeagle · 11/04/2017 22:48

I like Ruby best.

Not a fan of Cleo (reminds me of cats or mystics) or Thea.
