Ruby or Emilia

Our baby girl is due in 3 weeks and we are yet to decide on a name for her. It's looking like we will either go for Ruby or Emilia (Emmie as a nn). Her middle name will be Robyn after DHs dad, although I didn't like the similar sounds of Ruby followed by Robyn (so please don't tell me you like this as it's a definite no 🤣) SO she will either be:

Ruby Emilia Robyn Allen
Or
Emilia Robyn Allen

Which do you prefer?? I've also been told there's a Ruby Allen in eastenders 🙈 (I don't watch it) and I can't decide if this bothers me or not.

Honest opinions welcome

Emilia hands down without a shadow of a doubt

Love both Emilia and Ruby. Slight preference Emilia x

daisypond · 20/10/2019 09:46

Ruby. I’m not keen on Emilia at all.

PreschoolYes · 20/10/2019 09:48

Emilia definitely.

UserPop · 20/10/2019 09:50

Ruby, not a fan of Emilia

JessicaRarebit · 20/10/2019 09:51

Vote for Ruby (biased because my dd is Ruby!).

CurlyJB88 · 20/10/2019 09:52

Ruby! Smile

I love Emilia. However I don’t think it goes with Allen. I’m Not that fussed on Ruby, but It’s a nice name and goes great with Allen. However Ruby Allen is a character from Eastenders if that bothers you

HollyBen · 20/10/2019 10:12

I prefer Emilia though I like Ruby too. I do know lots of Ruby's if that is a concern

Frlrlrubert · 20/10/2019 11:42

Emelia.

The 'Ruby Ruby Ruby Ruby -Ahahaa' thing would annoy me.

Plus I teach two and they are both horrors.

Sparklypurpleunicornsaremyfav · 20/10/2019 12:04

Emilia definitely

ilovemykids5 · 20/10/2019 12:34

Love Ruby
Really dislike Emilia

Peachbubble · 20/10/2019 13:06

Emilia

Windydaysuponus · 20/10/2019 13:08

My dd is Ruby Amelia!!

Ellmau · 20/10/2019 17:21

Emilia.

LouiseLouisa87 · 20/10/2019 17:40

Definitely Ruby

MrsNoMopp · 20/10/2019 18:23

Emilia

Beacauseisaidso · 20/10/2019 18:25

Emilia - v pretty

Bigearringsbigsmile · 20/10/2019 18:28

Emilia

Roselilly36 · 20/10/2019 18:29

I like both names, great choices OP. I know a lovely Ruby, who is just an adorable little girl.

Courtney555 · 20/10/2019 18:35

Ruby is nicer, but DS has two in his class alone, so you need to be prepared for her to be "Ruby A" to distinguish her from the others, it's really popular where we are. There are a couple in the year above I believe too.

He's also in a year with "Connor M", "Connor C" "Connor J" and "Connor P" Grin

1066vegan · 20/10/2019 18:36

Both very pretty. I also like Amelia.

mapleleafshiba · 20/10/2019 18:40

I love Emilia so would definitely go for that. Emilia Robyn is our name if we have a DD so I'm a bit biased though Wink

Lobsterquadrille2 · 20/10/2019 19:04

Emilia.

Astronica · 21/10/2019 00:58

Both nice names but I prefer Ruby and prefer it with your surame.
