Congratulations!

Ruby is my favourite. Beautiful.

Ruby is lovely but I personally think it's a bit too popular.

Indie is lovely, my personal preference.

Not keen on Indigo, feel like it's just very harsh sounding with the 'g'!

daisypond · 29/09/2018 19:52

I like Ruby most, then Indigo. I don't like Indie at all - it's too weak/bland as a full name.

formerbabe · 29/09/2018 19:55

Ruby is my favourite...it is very popular, but I guess that's because it is so nice!

Chesterwife · 29/09/2018 19:57

Personally, I really like Ruby

StripyDeckchair · 29/09/2018 19:59

Definitely Ruby. I also like India with Indie as a nickname.
Have you thought about Imogen?

NoProbLlama78 · 29/09/2018 20:00

Do you have a middle name? If you call her Indigo she will probably get called Indie anyway. You could use indigo with Ruby for the middle name they sound nice together

sadnessin · 29/09/2018 20:03

I love Ruby but (bizarrely) only if she has dark hair

Bridgetwithoutthejones · 29/09/2018 20:05

My fav is Indigo and then Ruby. Don’t like Indie as a full name

coffeeandrainbows · 29/09/2018 20:13

Love Ruby!!

Pancakepoop · 29/09/2018 20:14

Indigo with Indie as a nickname.

CantankerousCamel · 29/09/2018 20:14

Indigo all the way!
Then Ruby

Indy is neither here nor there because indigo can be shortened to it

bridgetreilly · 29/09/2018 20:15

I agree with a pp, I can only visualise Ruby with dark hair!

Bridgetwithoutthejones · 29/09/2018 20:29

All the Rubys I’ve known have been blonde!

IVflytrap · 29/09/2018 20:37

Indie is my favourite. Ruby was quite overused in my area about 10 years ago, so put me off it a bit. Not a huge fan of Indigo.

ladybirdsaredotty · 29/09/2018 21:11

Ruby and Indigo are 2 of my absolute favourite names ever! Great choices, OP! Smile

MamasGarden · 29/09/2018 21:47

Indigo is my favourite. A beautiful colour, too! Not keen on Indie. Ruby is okay, I just seem to hear it a lot so it's lost its spark for me.

Polkasq · 29/09/2018 21:56

Ruby.

Indigo sounds too much like indignant!

Shadow1234 · 29/09/2018 22:41

Indigo is lovely. Know so many Ruby's.

Dont like indie though.

DramaAlpaca · 29/09/2018 22:47

Ruby, definitely.

mothertobe789 · 29/09/2018 22:48

Indie 💓

RedDwarves · 29/09/2018 23:00

Ruby.

I don't like the others.

starkid · 29/09/2018 23:24

Indigo, nickname Indie :) congratulations!

manicinsomniac · 30/09/2018 02:44

I really like Indigo.

Ruby is nice too.

I would only use Indie as a nn for Indigo or India

moredoll · 30/09/2018 02:46

Ruby for first choice.
Indigo with Indie as a nn. Indie on its its own just makes me think of the newspaper.
