Fleur or Ruby

[KAEKAE]

To go with Poppy and Oliver? What are your thoughts? Finding it really hard to come up with a girls name that "goes".

You can't have a Ruby and a Poppy when they are both shades of red. IMO!

I don't really like Ruby (the Cockney rhyming slang, I think).

Are you OK with the Forsyte Saga and HP associations for Fleur?

Fleur - Forsyte Saga, not keen I'm afraid

Ruby - lovely name, a bit much to have two "red" names though

How about Amber, Grace, Charlotte, Anna, Sophie, Louisa, Emma, Lucy, Georgia?

Fleur over ruby but not keen on either with poppy.

What Cockney rhyming slang?

Ruby Murray .... curry

Fleur is a goregous name - Ruby always reminds me of an old lady. And it is a very 'now' name, it may become the Tracey of the decade, so my vote is Fleur, every time.

Can't have Amber, Grace, Emma or Georgia! Names already taken within our family. Don't mind the colour connection, quite like it... I suppose.

If you don't mind the colour connection, then Ruby is a great choice :)

I don't see anything wrong with the colour connection. I didn't think of it straight away anyway.

I prefer Ruby out of the 2. Don't see why you "can't" have Ruby due to the colour connection Infact it's quite a nice connection. And Fleur is also "connected" to Poppy anyway, due to the meaning...

I like Ruby and again think the colour connection is quite nice.

Saffy85 this another reason I quite like Fleur.

Too many Rubys around and it's a bit late to start a colour theme - what about poor Oliver?

Fleur is much more exciting.

I wanted Fleur but dh said it was pretentious. Love it. Ruby is a bit boring now.

not sure if Fleur and Poppy is a bit much on the flower theme. Some people like their dc to have names with some kind of theme though - all flower names or all beginning with the same letter etc. I did meet one family with a Lily, Poppy and Violet and wondered what they would do if they had a boy.

I didn't think Ruby - red, Poppy - red tbh. Seems seems to me that Ruby is a different type of name to Oliver which I think fits better with Fleur. Mind you also think of Poppy as being a different type of name to Oliver. I suppose what I'm trying to say in a garbled way is that Poppy and Oliver don't seem such a clear fit to me taht the third name would have to go IYSWIM

Just a warning for you -

We know a Fleur and all the lads call her "Fleeeuuuur" - like the sound you make when you throw up.

Nice.

Personally I'm liking the colour theme of Poppy and Ruby....

i'm sure your son won't mind as he's a boy so i'm sure he wouldn;t want to be in with the colour connection when he's older anyway...

and tbh...i didn't see the colour connection until it was pointed out so its not too obvious (like poppy and lily would be for flowers...)

there is olive (green) in Oliver if we stretch it a bit

How about Lysette? (little lily)

Love Fleur because of Fleur Forsyte. Don't like Ruby.

I love Ruby much nicer than Fluer.It's popular for a reason but then i'm biased

Another one for Ruby.

Flora?

Scarlett?
