Mmmmm point taken but I see that annoying face in my mind every time I hear the name!

Ada is fusty and inelegant imo but I dislike most of the granny names that so many love these days.

firawla · 28/12/2017 22:30

Ada is beautiful. I’d go with Ada over ruby personally

FoggieFishieCarpeDiem · 28/12/2017 22:32

Ruby is nice but Ada is genuinely awesome.

AdaColeman · 28/12/2017 22:34

Ada Ruby is a lovely combination for first and middle names.

DramaAlpaca · 28/12/2017 22:36

I like Ruby very much.

Girlsworld92 · 28/12/2017 22:37

Gorgeous name

Smoliver · 29/12/2017 00:25

I love both Ruby and Ada. Ruby has beautiful colour and gem connotations and Ada, to me anyway, feels like an old, forgotten Hollywood starlet name.

I want to like Ruby but at the same time it's a bit nothingy. Ada Ruby is very lovely.

starfishsunrise · 29/12/2017 09:46

I like it. I’ve never met one

EleanorXx · 29/12/2017 10:01

Love both Ada and Ruby, Ruby is very popular so she will most likely be one of a few in the school. Ada is more unique but she may have people assume her name is Ava

ChocolateCrunch · 29/12/2017 10:29

I like Ada, and more than Ruby, which is very popular

Sugarpiehoneyeye · 29/12/2017 11:33

I also prefer Ava.

GreatDuckCookery6211 · 29/12/2017 16:38

Ada is awful. Plain and frumpy.

mondler · 29/12/2017 16:43

I like Ada and Ruby. I don't know any Adas but it's a nice simple, elegant name. I know a few little Rubys but it's a very pretty name.

EveryoneTalkAboutPopMusic · 29/12/2017 16:58

My DGM was an Ada, born in 1910. I only know one other who is 15 and very cool.

MinkowskisButterfly · 29/12/2017 17:07

Love it! First thought was Ada Lovelace.

MinkowskisButterfly · 29/12/2017 17:09

Oh cross post Fairfax!

RavenWings · 30/12/2017 12:47

Imo there's much of a muchness between Ava and Ada, so I don't see that it's a much better option. I like Ada but it doesn't stand out drastically from Ava.

I agree that Ruby is a bit nothingy.

ChangedToday · 30/12/2017 13:30

Love it too but I'm a bit of a nerd and thought of Ada Lovelace too!
