Girls short list preferences

[Sunshineface123]

We currently have Sadie, Ruby and Edie on our short list for a girl...

We already have a Rose at home.

Any preferences?!

I think Edie is absolutely beautiful. I think it goes lovely with Rose, too!

I prefer Sadie.
Ruby is nice but very popular where I live at least.
Edie I just don't like.

Sadie is my favourite.

Sadie

Edie by a country mile. I can’t abide Sadie. The sound of it makes me seethe and Ruby is getting beyond bleeding boring now and is a tad similar to Rose.

Sadie
Edie
Ruby

Edie. I don't like Sadie, and although I like Ruby I don't like alliterative sibling names.

Ok thanks so much! So Ruby doesn't seem that popular and Edie and Sadie tying ish, interesting!

Sadie

We had Edie on our list but discounted it...I think it might be better to call her Eden or something, with Edie as a diminutive.

I also agree that ruby is far too similar to rose; both allude to red. Sounds a bit like a kids’ story, ruby and rose! 😊

Sadie is gorgeous and not well used where I live (in fact I don’t know any!) and it sounds lovely with rose!

Ooh do like Eden - hadn't thought of that!

Ruby is my favourite but I wouldn’t have sisters with the same initial. The red theme might be too much as well. Not too keen on Edie or Sadie. They are too cutesy diminutive for me.

Edie!
I have a Rose 😊

Edie by far!

Edie is very nicknamey and zeitgeisty at the moment, which is a contrast to Rose, a very classic name.

Eden is so American I wouldn't use that, it's naff. Edith?

Basically Sadie is better! I also do like Ruby but not sure about it with Rose.

Sadie was the name of my cousins Staffordshire bull terrier so although it's a nice name for a nice dog I wouldn't use it for a child.
Ruby is a nice name but there are quite a lot of them about.

Edie wins but for me it's personal. My late great Aunty had an Edie around 100 years ago and I remember her speaking of her little girl with so much love. Plus, I knew a young man whose surname was Edie. He carried out a very brave and selfless act in an attempt to save someone's life and so I always think warmly of the name.

Ooh Sadie is lovely!

Love the suggestion above of Eden too

I love Edie and think Rose and Edie are a lovely combination.

I hate Sadie and to me Sadie and Ruby are names that I associate with pet dogs (no offence to anyone just my personal experience!)

Edie but I’d have Edith on the birth certificate.

I like Sadie and Edie but if I were naming the sister of Rose, I'd choose a name that didn't end with an 'ee' sound. I love Edith with Rose and like that both girls would then have multiple nickname options.

Edith, not Edie. Or Eden (so faddy)

Sadie is very nice.

Of your list I like Edie best with Rose, though I do love Ruby too. Eden is good and you still get Edie if you want.

Eden is lovely
followed by Edie
Not keen on Sadie or Ruby

Edie (Eden) is my favourite. Ruby is ok but not so sure on it with Rose. Really dislike Sadie.

I wouldn’t do Ruby and Rose
Sadie is lovely
Love the suggestion of Eden
