Names

[Char1989]

Hello, looking for advice on names please. We have a Ruby already and are expecting a second girl next year- we like Rose or Rosa, but is that too similar to Ruby? Thanks 😊

I think they are, really, but they are very nice names. They sound quite different. It’s just the first letter that’s the same. But you’d have a bit of a red theme going, which is maybe a bit twee. It’s not a nonstarter, though.

hmm, I do think they are too similar I am just sitting here going Ruby, Rosa, Ruby, Rosa, and I think it is too samey.

probably slightly better with Rose, as 2 syllable v. 1 syllable.

They are lovely names but I always refrain from having two children same gender with same initial as can make it difficult with post etc such as Miss R (surname)

Maybe have Rosa as a middle name?

Or a longer name like Primrose etc where Rose could be a nickname? X

I love Rosa and I think it works with Ruby why wouldn't it

I think they are lovely together. I'd pick Rose to go with Ruby, I think.

I prefer Rosa but only because Ruby Rose is an actress and you'd have both her first and second name for children.

Rosie and Ruby are similar and Rosie could be used as a nickname for both Rose and Rosa.

One of my criteria for dcs 2 and 3 was to give them their own initial, so I'd rule both out on those grounds.

Thanks everyone 😊 name choosing is so hard second time round isn't it! I love the names but feel unsure so good points raised.x

Rosemary?
