Ruby or Poppy

[Aydeen]

Which of these do you prefer and why?

Thanks

Poppy. I just think it's prettier :)

Like them both equally

Do you like the colour red?! Perhaps you should add Scarlett!

I prefer Poppy

Prefer Poppy. Sounds prettier than Ruby, and a bit less chavvy if they were to be placed on a sliding scale of chavviness...

I prefer Poppy. I think it's very cute. I love the colour red. And, Ruby is very popular in my area / circles just now.

Poppy

like both but prefer Poppy...

Ruby is a gorgeous name and to say it is so popular I don't know any or have heard of any. Lovely name

Poppy, my favourite flower. Considered it for own DD but chose something more meaningful to us. When DD was born we made friends with a Mum and her daughter Poppy (who really suits it) so it'd be too confusing if we used it for no.2.

I can't really choose between them so would say pick which goes best with your surname.

Ruby is very popular at the moment. Every second baby seems to be called it.
Poppy is a bit twee for me, would suit a baby but not sure about a grown adult.

Another vote for Poppy!

I have a Poppy - everyone comments on what a nice name it is. It may be a bit cutsey for adulthood - I can't decide but she can always use her middle name. But it does seem to be getting popular

Eep. I have quite strong opinions on these names, so I shall try to control myself, and I hope you don't take offence.

Despite the recent use of Ruby on chav children (I know of a Ruby-Mae, whose mother... let's not go there) I much prefer this to Poppy. Honestly, Ruby really is a chav name where I live.
Ruby was a name I loved as a child, whereas Poppy I have always thought is the stupidest name in the book. This is alongside Daisy though, and I believe those are the two most popular flower names right now, so obviously I'm in the minority here.

Definitely Ruby - chavvy, but SO pretty.

Poppy

Poppy. There are a lot of Rubys out there!

Ruby. Not as twee as Poppy.

For me I would think of a Ruby as a strong character, perhaps a bit feisty, certainly not one to be walked over. Poppy would be an ethereal creature who drives a VW Beetle and opens an art gallery.

Both nice names but conjure different images for me. This may help, or may not.

I prefer Poppy but DH has very helpfully said he likes both.

I agree, I know a few Rubys, becoming increasingly common. Don't like Poppy, can't imagine a 40 year called Poppy! Too cutesy girly for me.

Poppy. Don't worry about when they are older. I couldn't imagine a teenager called George a few years ago, but now they have got there, it's fine.

Poppy.

Neither, both are dreadfully over used at the moment and will date very badly imo.

^I agree, they are both uber, uber popular! I do prefer Poppy though, plus it is slightly less well used than Ruby! x
