Our first baby is due tomorrow. We don't know the sex and have not told a soul about our name choices and now I'm just curious as to how they'll go down!
BOY - Theo Louis
GIRL - Ruby Erin

What's your opinions? ! Thanks :)

Lovely and congrats xxx

ThroughThickAndThin01 · 12/01/2016 16:27

I think they're fine.

I'm not a fan of Ruby personally, but there is nothing wrong with it.

ItchyArmpits · 12/01/2016 16:35

They're both lovely - will carry your child through to adulthood with dignity. Congratulations :)

I like Ruby Erin. Not really a fan of Theo but nothing wrong with it!

notmynameohno · 12/01/2016 16:43

Both are lovely. I prefer Erin Ruby as the order though as it sounds a bit Ruby Earring.

timemaychangeme · 12/01/2016 18:33

Really like both.

wonderpants · 12/01/2016 18:35

Both are lovely! Good luck and best wishes Flowers

Flossiesmummy · 12/01/2016 18:42

Both just lovely Smile

imwithspud · 12/01/2016 18:43

I like them both. Ruby wouldn't be my choice, but it goes well with Erin.

VintageTrouble · 12/01/2016 18:44

I prefer Theodore to Theo, but you've chosen lovely names :)

zippyswife · 12/01/2016 18:46

Lovely names. Congrats.

Starbores · 12/01/2016 18:46

Both lovely although I prefer Louis to theo as I think theo is very current so may date?

MYA2016 · 12/01/2016 18:47

Thanks all for the feedback. It's not something that I've thought about for weeks and now it's just dawned on me today that this name will be with the child forever and suddenly I've panicked that they're not nice names :-)
At least it's stopping me from stressing about child birth for a while Sad x

Starbores - Louis is a family name (great grandad,grandad and brother) or I'd have loved it as a first name. Just can't really pick my brothers name as he Is still very young so it's a little too close to home :)

Ah right shame as its lovely. Theo is nice I just think it could be more faddy than classical and I suppose it depends if that bothers you?

MamaLazarou · 12/01/2016 18:53

Lovely. Good luck with the birth! Flowers

DonkeysDontRideBicycles · 12/01/2016 18:58

I like both your boy and girl names. Smile

My first was a week past the due date, he took his own sweet time. These days he is very keen on punctuality. All the best x

BBQueen · 12/01/2016 18:59

I instantly thought of Ruby Earring too but lovely names.

Bubbletree4 · 12/01/2016 19:03

I like Theo and Ruby. Not particularly keen on the middle names.

PotOfYoghurt · 12/01/2016 19:17

Ruby Earring was the first thing I thought of too.

If it bothers you, and it may well not, you could add an extra middle name in between the two.

Or the baby will be born with a penis and you'll have no worries!

Good luck and congratulations

Thanks
Sometimesithinkimbonkers · 12/01/2016 19:25

I prefer Erin Ruby and think Theo Louis is gorgeous... Congratulations X

Paddletonio · 12/01/2016 19:37

Lovely!

waitingforsomething · 12/01/2016 20:25

I like Ruby but not a fan of Theo. it's really important, however, that you do not care what other people in RL think! As soon as you announce the name people will like it and if not they will get used to it

Iliveinalighthousewiththeghost · 12/01/2016 20:27

No I don't. It's just a difference of opinions though.

GracieGraives · 12/01/2016 22:00

Love theo Louis.
Not a fan of ruby or Erin. Sorry
