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 nice but if doesn't stick how about Emmy if that works better with surname than Emma

Try out some names on her over a couple days! DS was born two months early and remained nameless for 23 shameful days until I settled on a name that wasn't even on my list, but I seemed to enjoy calling him.

I love Elsie. It's on my list for a baby if I have another one.

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

When I read your thread title the name Fay/ Faye came into my mind. I think it goes nicely with Ruby too.
