Is this name too sexy?

[LokiGunn]

We are due a baby girl and have always loved the name Ruby, it has sentimental family connections...but coupled with our surname I'm just not sure. Her name would be Ruby Hart does she sound like a burlesque performer? Nothing wrong with that profession, but not sure I want it connected to a baby and would she be taken seriously as an adult?

What do you think?

It’s very pretty, I like it.

Sounds like a perfectly normal name to me. It's nice.

I like it but maybe a middle name to break it up a bit?

@WagnerTheWehrWolf I really like your name! I wanted to be called Bernadette when I was at school seemed cool to me.I would maybe shorten it to Bernie. Then as an adult I have favoured Amber or Roxanne I indulge in a little fantasy of going back in time, meeting my future DH and introducing myself with an interesting name ! Luckily he wasn’t put off by my boring name and given that my name choices have changed several times over the years, a name change probably wouldn’t have worked !

Makes me think of Roxie Hart in Chicago

Me too

It is only sexual if you regard it as such? Sounds like a lovely name to me

Ooh it's lovely.

It makes me think of a red heart shaped necklace.

I think it is a great name. Super cute for a little girl and cool when she is older. I love it.

I love Ruby too, it's on my list but I don't think I would use it as for me it's too common now. I'm on the fence about your query though, I don't think I would have thought of the performer thing etc had it not been pointed out x

Ruby Hart is a great name. On another note, I gave a friend and colleague who is a Dr S. Hart and that has never even occurred to me, or as far as I know, to anyone. She'll piss herself laughing when I show her this thread...

It's lovely.

Strong and distinctive.

I think it sounds perfectly pleasant and ordinary - not at all weird.

I think it's a beautiful name!

Reminds me of the musical Chicago with the character Roxie Hart but I like it still. A young boy in DCs class is called C. Mycock on the register due to first name beginning with C

I love Ruby.

I'm in two minds about whether it goes with the surname. I'm normally quick to pick up references but I had to think for a minute about that one so actually I think it's fine.

I think the pp who said it’s had its day is referring to the fact that it was in the top 10 most popular names from 2006-2011 and has declined in popularity year on year since then, so it seems a bit out of fashion now.

I personally think it’s lovely!

@WagnerTheWehrWolf

I think '1940's gangster's moll with a heart of gold'.

I quite like it actually.

Same! I say go for it

Listen OP, I know a woman called Holly Wood (seriously. Her parents named her that).

Ruby Hart is fine.

Sexy...

I think it’s really pretty. Like a book character or something. One of those names where you think I wish I could have a name like that. Don’t think it’s too sexy at all- these days anything seems inappropriate if you look into it 🙄. If you like it I’d say go for it :))

Ruby is a great name. Go for it. I’d be considering using it myself if I hadn’t had a few bad experiences with nasty ones (one aged 85, the other aged 10, so don’t think it’s anything to do with ‘the kind of people using it’)

Sounds fine to me.

Hi!
Ruby Heart is a pirate captain in Marvel vs Capcom 2: New age of Heroes, and she is not a burlesque dancer, she is a badass lady. I think it's a really cool sounding name, and I wouldn't hesitate for a second. She can always pull the "yeah actually I'm named after a pirate" card if anyone gives her grief for it later on, but I doubt they will. Ruby Hart seems very reasonable compared to some names you hear these days.
