Ruby or Lola

[SaraJS216]

Which do you prefer? (If either!)

I don't love either, but Lola is a cat name

Both are too trendy as given names for me, sorry - although I think Lola is a cute nn for Louisa (I know it was originally a nn for Dolores, but that's a bit too dated now!)

Definitely Ruby it's lovely.

Lola is short for Lolita so for me that's a definite no no for obvious reasons!!

Ruby hands down.
Never Lola.

Lola.

More boho and less milkmaid than Ruby.

Can't stand Lola. Don't mind Ruby.

Ruby. Classier.

Ruby's OK, Lola's awful.

I vote Lola but that's because it's my DD's name. I didn't realise there is so much hate for it . It totally suits her kind but cheeky nature.
I like the name Ruby too but that I don't like that it rhymes with "boobie" lol .

I love both
I would pick Lola

I think I like them equally. However, I’d say Ruby is a rather strong name, (sweet but not pretty), whilst Lola is pretty and quite similar to other ‘L’ names. Just some things to take into consideration.

I can never get over the Barry Manilow Lola connotation.

She’s either going to get “Ruby, Ruby, Ruby, Ruby....Ahhhhhhhh” or “Her name was Lola, She was a showgirl” (or even L-O-L-A Lola, la-la-la-la Lola) sung at her.

I say this as a person whose real name is in the title of a popular song and hate people singing it back to me 😡😆

Both make me think of eastenders, so neither!

Ruby. Though I do think it's very generic.

Lola is a very blah, weak sound.

Ruby.
I can’t separate “Lola” from the song.

My Ruby is nearly 16.. Suits her and we all still love it - even her! The song isn't an issue. As a small dc she was mesmerised watching it played on the music channels! My name is also song related
..not a showgirl though!

Ruby is quite jolly.

Not Lola
