Final three

Due in the new year with a baby girl and I think we’re down to the final 3 names. Middle name will be Heidi to honour family

However, we now can’t pick, there seems to be pros and cons for each and it feels like the biggest decision in the world

  • Willow
  • Alba
  • Ruby

Willow I’m not sure I can get past how popular it is
Alba I love but wonder if too out there
Ruby maybe too plain or dated?

Could you call her Heidi which is lovely.

Ruby is my favourite but it definitely doesn't go with Heidi.

I like Willow Heidi, but none flow well. I think Ruby has worst flow, but I like Willow the best.

Ruby my favourite. I think the other two will become dated, but not Ruby.

I think Ruby is the nicest of the three, I don't think it's plain at all, and I'm not sure it was ever popular enough to be dated.
I don't think any of them flow well with Heidi if this is something that matters to you.
