Which do you prefer? (If either!)

Ruby

MadeOfStarStuff · 16/04/2021 18:50

Both lovely! I think I slightly prefer Ruby

Unreasonabubble · 16/04/2021 18:52

Ruby.

Lola will still make people think of transvestites if they are a certain age (Grandparents).

DramaAlpaca · 16/04/2021 18:53

Ruby by a long way.

Not Lola.

Ruby

Both both make me think of names people give dogs like Pugs. Sorry Blush

Mermaid2007 · 16/04/2021 19:11

Ruby is lovely Smile

CeeceeBloomingdale · 16/04/2021 19:12

They are both nice but I prefer Ruby. I know quite a few Lola's and a couple of Ruby's.

GreyhoundG1rl · 16/04/2021 19:12

Ruby. Lola is ubiquitous and not particularly nice to begin with.

I agree they sound to me like puppy names...
whatsoccuringnow · 16/04/2021 19:15

Neither, sorry. Ruby is too popular. Lola- puppy's name.

Ahbahbahbah · 16/04/2021 19:16

Ruby.

Or Robina if you like that sort of sound and want something unusual.

I’m afraid Lola immediately makes me sing “she was a dancer”

whatsoccuringnow · 16/04/2021 19:16

Having said that I have one with a very popular name and one with a name everyone hates!! So whichever you love most

Troyhelena · 16/04/2021 19:16

Ruby

helpmum2003 · 16/04/2021 19:18

I like them both. Very pretty names. Can't really decide which I prefer. Do you have a middle name?

MixedClassBaby · 16/04/2021 19:20

Lola - it's a lovely name.

NeverHadANickname · 16/04/2021 19:21

Ruby

Aprilshowersandhail · 16/04/2021 19:22

Wasn't Lola a showgirl?

Troyhelena · 16/04/2021 19:24

@Aprilshowersandhail she was

DotDotDotDotDot · 16/04/2021 19:29

I’d choose Ruby definitely, still quite popular but less so than 10-15 years ago. I used to quite like Lola but then someone mentioned on a thread here that they associate it with Lolita so that really put me off the name, but maybe I’m easily swayed?

Ahbahbahbah · 16/04/2021 19:32

You’re both right! A showgirl. I’ve been singing the wrong lyrics for years Blush

Hufflepuffsunite · 16/04/2021 19:34

Ruby. I do like Lola too actually but prefer Ruby.

Happycat1212 · 16/04/2021 19:44

Ruby,

not robina! Sounds like Ribena😕

Happycat1212 · 16/04/2021 19:44

Hate lola
