hi everyone, new mum on mumsnet in a bit of a panic!
I need a girl name to go with my eldest's name, Ruby. i like short and sweet girl names. I really really like the name Emma but sounds a bit ridiculous with our last name.
please help me with some suggestions! Xx

Elsie is lovely as long as you don’t mind it being close to Frozen

Eloise is another you might like

I really like Ruby, sorry no ideas for another name, but as pp said there is no rush. Maybe wait and see what seems to suit her.

Elsie is lovely and works very well for Ruby's sister.

Elsie is lovely. Perfect with ruby.

Cherry

I grew up with a lovely girl with that name, (she is still lovely!), and one of my favourite actresses is Cherry Jones. Absolutely love her.

Elsie Belle...how cute!

ellesgirl · 27/03/2019 21:47

Just had my daughter 4 weeks ago, was very stuck between Elsie and Evie!

Absolutely LOVE the name Elsie!

PandaBlue · 27/03/2019 21:44

Congratulations! How about Lacie? Or Layla, or Bella?

Bella crossed my mind but paired with Ruby, Ruby and Bella, I instantly thought of Rubella.

ijustdontunderstandher · 27/03/2019 21:34

Elsie is beautiful. If you aren’t 100% sure how about Pearl or Nora
