Which do you prefer? (If either!)

Ruby

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

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 Blush

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

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.

Ruby is lovely Smile

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

Ruby
