Top 30 but I don’t know any? I love it. How many under 5s do you know called Ruby?

TIA.

Don't know a single Ruby of any age. It's a lovely name

As you'll have seen from the Dark Greener website (which is based on the official UK figures) the name Ruby had been falling each and every year since 2007

I know about 30 but they are all 18 and under. The youngest I know is about 6.

PlantPotting · 31/12/2020 16:12

Meant to add that I don't know any

SnowdropFox · 31/12/2020 16:28

I know one who is 2 yo.

@Chilldonaldchill 30?! Is that an exaggeration?

Like I think of super common names like Emily and I’d struggle to name 30 I know IRL.

Maybe a slight exaggeration Wink but I work in a role with a lot of children and a few years ago I'm pretty certain I had 8 Ruby-Maes and 4 Ruby-Mays on my books!

None under 5 but I've got a DGD called Ruby and she's 14

SpacePug · 31/12/2020 18:43

I know a 2 year old and a dog

@SpacePug

I know a 2 year old and a dog
Three different people I know recently got new pets. The two puppies (bulldog and bichon frise) and a kitten were all called Ruby.

I know one Ruby under 5

I am absolutely biased on the name Ruby. I have one at 18months.
We don't know any other Ruby's at all
