Ivy or Ruby ??

[ladydreamer11]

Can't decide between Ivy or Ruby for a girls name, her middle name will be Lily so either Ivy Lily or Ruby Lily ??

Ivy. Beautiful name.

Ruby Lily. Definitely, it's really lovely. Ivy is nice too but imo a bit "great aunt" ish.

I like both Ivy and Ruby, but think Ruby sounds better with Lily, otherwise you have 2 plants together (which may not bother you!)

Ivy Lily sounds better to me.

Ivy

Ivy Lily is two plants. It doesn't work. Ivy Lillian would work.

Ruby Lily doesn't work either. Two two-syllable names that both end in an ee sound. But it's better than Ivy Lily.

Aside from two of them being plants, they're all 2-syllable names ending in 'y'.

I don't think any of the combos work well personally, but they're names you obviously like.

No, i likeLily but not keen on Ivy or Ruby and especially with Lily.

Ruby

Much much much prefer Ivy.

Both lovely names, but i prefer Ruby

I have an ivy it's a beautiful name!
( & her best friend is called ruby 😀)

Is there a reason for the middle name OP ? It's a lovely name, but doesn't roll off the tongue easily.
I'd go for Ruby Lily, but love Ruby Rose.

Ivy seems to be getting a lot more popular so depends on if that bothers you or not.

Ivy

I prefer Ruby, but not sure Ruby Lily flows well.

Ruby Lilian sounds better.

I prefer Ruby to Ivy. I like the middle name Lily but not sure that it goes well with either of the first names. I like previous suggestions of Lilian instead of Lily.

There are s lot of Ivy's being born now. Ruby Lily sounds nice. Plus you can visualise a ruby coloured lily

Ruby is by far the prettier name. And Ivy Lily is just a weird mix of plants and just sounds sing-songy. ;) Sorry!

I also think Ruby Lily is just too much and isn't elegant. It sounds like you couldn't choose between Ruby and Lily so threw them both in. Lillian or Liliana as a middle name would sound much more elegant. Ruby Liliana is a very feminine name if you prefer a girlier name.

Ivy. Ruby is blah

Ruby

I don't think either of them sound great with Lily, but Ruby works better.

Ivy Lillian sounds better

Ruby has been done to death so I'd go for Ivy.

I don't think it matter what the middle name is because day to day middle names are absolutely irrelevant.
