Which do you prefer? (If either!)

Ruby

MixedClassBaby · 16/04/2021 19:20

Lola - it's a lovely name.

helpmum2003 · 16/04/2021 19:18

I like them both. Very pretty names. Can't really decide which I prefer. Do you have a middle name?

Troyhelena · 16/04/2021 19:16

Ruby

whatsoccuringnow · 16/04/2021 19:16

Having said that I have one with a very popular name and one with a name everyone hates!! So whichever you love most

Ahbahbahbah · 16/04/2021 19:16

Ruby.

Or Robina if you like that sort of sound and want something unusual.

I’m afraid Lola immediately makes me sing “she was a dancer”

whatsoccuringnow · 16/04/2021 19:15

Neither, sorry. Ruby is too popular. Lola- puppy's name.

Ruby

Both both make me think of names people give dogs like Pugs. Sorry

I agree they sound to me like puppy names...

GreyhoundG1rl · 16/04/2021 19:12

Ruby. Lola is ubiquitous and not particularly nice to begin with.

MajorNeville · 16/04/2021 19:12

Ruby

CeeceeBloomingdale · 16/04/2021 19:12

They are both nice but I prefer Ruby. I know quite a few Lola's and a couple of Ruby's.

Mermaid2007 · 16/04/2021 19:11

Ruby is lovely

DramaAlpaca · 16/04/2021 18:53

Ruby by a long way.

Not Lola.

Unreasonabubble · 16/04/2021 18:52

Ruby.

Lola will still make people think of transvestites if they are a certain age (Grandparents).

MadeOfStarStuff · 16/04/2021 18:50

Both lovely! I think I slightly prefer Ruby
