Both beautiful

Liftedmeup · 13/01/2026 08:42

Ruby. I much prefer Rose to Rosa.

Iocanepowder · 13/01/2026 08:24

I vote Rosa as it was a consideration for our DD.

Also I know a few dogs called Ruby so maybe that’s also why.

SpringBulbsPop · 13/01/2026 07:49

Rosa is soooo boring!
Ruby is very cute for all ages.

JMSA · 13/01/2026 03:20

Rosa hooses.

Sorry, Scottish joke.

LivingTheDreamish · 13/01/2026 02:29

Both nice but how about Rosalind (nn Rosa) Martin?

aaaheatedblanket · 11/01/2026 11:11

Rosa

JDM625 · 04/12/2025 17:19

I like both, but prefer Rosa as not as popular are Ruby. Also, I know 3 dogs called Ruby 😂
Not your question, but I also like Rosalie or Rosaria which could both have a nn of Rosa.

Much prefer Rosa. Ruby for me has stripper name vibes.

BoleynMemories13 · 04/12/2025 17:15

Personally, I much prefer Ruby.

Moreteaandchocolate · 04/12/2025 15:36

I love both but went for Ruby. But now I’m thinking Rosa!

Ketzele · 04/12/2025 07:59

I voted for Rosa, but also love Ruby.

mamaduckbone · 03/12/2025 21:36

Both nice but I also slightly prefer Rosa.

theunbreakablecleopatrajones · 03/12/2025 19:58

Rosa... but Ruby is nice too.

4thbabynamehelp · 03/12/2025 18:56

Love both, really hard to choose. I chose Ruby but now I'm thinking Rosa!

DramaAlpaca · 03/12/2025 13:17

Love both, but Rosa just pips it.

myrtleberry · 03/12/2025 12:55

I prefer Rosanna

That's not one of the options offered. Rosanna is very nice though.

DemonsandMosquitoes · 03/12/2025 13:08

Rosa. Definitely not Ruby.

myrtleberry · 03/12/2025 12:55

I prefer Rosanna

DuchessOfNarcissex · 03/12/2025 12:44

Here's a link to the thread. Still No Name for Baby Girl | Mumsnet
Martin's quite an easy surname. I'd avoid Remy and Romy. Smile

DuchessOfNarcissex · 03/12/2025 10:44

Thanks. Rosa flows better.

@DuchessOfNarcissex not me! Her surname is Martin.

They’re both lovely, voted Ruby as I slightly prefer that. I like Rose more than Rosa

Egglio · 03/12/2025 10:37

Rosa is so much nicer!

BlueWorkDay · 03/12/2025 10:36

Rosa x 1000
