Top 30 but I don’t know any? I love it. How many under 5s do you know called Ruby?

TIA.

I know 3 who are all under 5.

I only know two adults named Ruby, but I think it's a gorgeous name.

None under 5. Loads aged 5-10.

I know at least a dozen who are my DD’s kind of age (19-22). Not sure if it’s died away since.

I went horse riding at the weekend with two Rubys: one is 15 and the other is 80.

BoJingle · 30/12/2020 17:26

Four all under 3 in the same village

One cat and one 11 year old
Oh and I know of a 2 year old Ruby.

My 5 month-old is Ruby. But she's a cat. Grin

ValpolicellaPrimitivo · 30/12/2020 17:20

I know of one under 5.

Ithinkhedidit · 30/12/2020 17:15

I don't know any under 5. I like it!

NeonSparkle · 30/12/2020 17:12

I’ve got a 3 year old, have never met a ruby that is under 8. None at my sons nursery or at any play groups we’ve been too.
I think go for it if you love it!

Sausagedog1 · 30/12/2020 17:08

I don't know any. Haven't met any since having my DS 4 years ago.

None under 5 but was very popular a few years ago. I guess all the Ruby's must be at school
Now Grin
