hi everyone, new mum on mumsnet in a bit of a panic!
I need a girl name to go with my eldest's name, Ruby. i like short and sweet girl names. I really really like the name Emma but sounds a bit ridiculous with our last name.
please help me with some suggestions! Xx

My grandaughter is due in 4 weeks and her name is going to be Elsie.

Lovely name.

Maisie or Betsy are too.

When I read your thread title the name Fay/ Faye came into my mind. I think it goes nicely with Ruby too.
