DDs are Ruby and Arabella

I absolutely love Hugo for a boy but wonder is it too similar sounding to Ruby? And then makes Arabella seem like the odd one out?

Is Ruby, Arabella and Hugo an ok sounding combination?

Sounds lovely to me.

emmathedilemma · 24/03/2022 17:28

I think they work well together.

Hugo and Ruby don't sound similar to me.

If I had to pick a 'pair' out of the three names, I would say Hugo and Arabella are the most similar of the three.

@DearMallorie really? In terms of style?

I think the names compliment each other.

Sound lovely to me! I don't know how important it is for siblings names to blend as they get older- they will only really be referred to as a trio by family!

Sounds fine to me, Hugo and arabella are similar style (posh!), and Ruby and Hugo are not that similar as the “u” sound is differeny

DearMallorie · 24/03/2022 18:22

Yes, in terms of style. They are aristocratic in style.

They are all nice names.

Hugo doesn’t sound close enough to Ruby to be a problem.
Arabella and Hugo feel like a pair (posh vibe, although obviously generally popular these days). Ruby is more Edwardian music Hall vibe, but nice with it.

Sorry - but what a ghastly word: sibset. Neither Hugo or Arabella or Ruby is posh - whatever that means - today. But who on earth are they or anyone else to set the rules??? And they're not going to be joint performers for OP ever, if at all.
Very vest wishes OP Just choose names you like.

Agree Hugo and Arabella sound well together - Ruby is also pretty but a different vibe

OctaviaRedQueen · 25/03/2022 11:23

I think you’re overthinking it; they sound fine together to me.

I know a Hugo and Arabella (although she's always known as Bella) so those two names definitely work together in my head.
