My fiancee and I can't decide which name we like more with our dughters Daisy, Indie and Poppy. Can you help us out?

I know quite a few Ruby’s so would choose Elodie. So pretty & unusual too.

Ruby goes better with your other names but I love Elodie.

Ruby

Wouldn't want Elodie to ever be Ellie. I have a Ruby! Remember you have a 'red' name already though!

Ruby fits with your other daughters as it's two syllables and quite popular.
Elodie is the name I would prefer of the two in other circumstances.

Elodie is in my top 5 names. Ruby is a bit more common for me.

Ruby

Both are lovely names and work very well with the siblings. I'm torn on this one as I do prefer the sounds of Ruby, but I like that Elodie is much less used. I think I'm edging towards Elodie. However Ruby's sounds are more distinct from your daughters' names while Elodie is similar in sounds to Daisy and Indie, which may be a consideration.
