Sister for Ruby?

45 replies

Leilia · 23/09/2018 12:21

We've just found out that dc2 will be a little sister for Ruby.

We were all sorted with boys' names, but have really been struggling with girls' names this time round.

We have a shortlist, but I'm not in love with any of them yet, and I'm not sure if they 'go' with Ruby. We've decided against another name with an 'ee' sound ending.

Sylvia
Martha
Norah
Elizabeth
Joan
Matilda
Charlotte

Any opinions?

I agree that Ruby and Rose is a great combination too.

Oh I just LOVE Joan! If it has anything in common with Ruby (a much more common name) it's that they could both be '50s movie stars. Martha is lovely too.

Ruby and Rose.

Agate and Garnet. Both red gems.

I like all of your names but think Joan would be an unusual choice (in a good way)

wornoutboots · 23/09/2018 21:30

I'd stick with the theme and therefore suggest
Galena
Beryl
Sapphire
Opal

Or if you want slightly more unusual, find a list of semi-precious stones and see if any of them sound right to you
