Sister for Ruby?

[Leilia]

We've just found out that dc2 will be a little sister for Ruby.

We were all sorted with boys' names, but have really been struggling with girls' names this time round.

We have a shortlist, but I'm not in love with any of them yet, and I'm not sure if they 'go' with Ruby. We've decided against another name with an 'ee' sound ending.

Sylvia
Martha
Norah
Elizabeth
Joan
Matilda
Charlotte

Any opinions?

Scarlet! 😍

Sylvie from yr list.

Lois Mabel Hazel as well

Matilda

Eva
Faye
Isla
Olivia
Jessica

Scarlett
Violet
India
Summer
Amber

I love Norah

I like the names Sylvia, Martha and Norah 😊

Jean instead of Joan?

Martha and Matilda off your list.

How about Mona? I like Joan best from your list, it's so elegant and classic.

From your list Elizabeth

I love Matilda but it's probably going to be shortened to Tilly, another ee name.
Eliza
Isabelle
Sophia
Alice
Beatrice
Florence
Eleanor
Freya
Lydia
Harriet
Imogen
Mia
Olivia

Mona? Why you choose a name that had the word moan in it?

My favourite on your list is Matilda. - love that name.

Other suggestions:

Ivy
Elsie
Clara
Lorna
Freya
Saffron
Lottie
Alice
Maisy
Willow
Lauren
Florence (florrie, flo for nn)
Sophia
Laura
Eleanor
Cara
Kayla
Kaitlyn
Shona
Violet
Carina

Rosa

Martha by far. Sylvia was already nn'ed Sylvie by a pp, and Joan would become Joanie. Elizabeth could wind up as Lizzy, Charlotte to Charlee. So that leaves Norah (nice) and Martha. Immediately Martha just jumped out out at me as going with Ruby anyway. There are many names that won't get shortened to an 'ee' sound. You have time to keep looking.

Ruby and Juniper?

I think Alice is lovely with Ruby.

Definitely Norah. Just wonderful.

Penelope?

Ruby is a lovely name, but I'm not in love with the names on your list, sorry !
Suggestions;

Martha and Norah are both lovely with Ruby.

Ooh sugar, you have my 3 daughters as a suggested set there!
