Would it be wrong to have a Ruby AND a Millie?

[MillieMooMoo]

As in the make-up brand?

We have a Millie and love the name Ruby.

Are they too similar and would you have them as siblings dispite the make-up brand? >>>

I suppose it's not like having Laura and Paige, atleast it's a more expensive brand

like them both, sod it, there are worst things to be called
bill and ben
chaz and dave
jordan and peter
posh and becks

well, you could do worse, but it is quite a co-incidence, so people might think you named them after the makeup brand! Could you live with that?

LMAO! I know, I'm just being a bit paranoid about what people might say

My dh has NO IDEA about this make-up brand So he cant talk me out of it

I think a lot of people would not even have heard of the makeup, particularly men!
Both nice names

tyv - I probably could deal with it yes.
Just pondering about it a lot recently.
Am only 15 weeks though so plenty of time to decide once and for all!

Well, since Millie is the older one and it will be Millie and Ruby, I would think you're fine. I know what you mean though...

Thanks for your replies ladies. It's nice to have honest answers from strangers

Good point choosy! If anyone asked what my children were called, I could just say it the other way around

Thanks

Now, Millie's middle name is Eve, and I'd quite like a single syllable name to put with Ruby.
So, since you've all been so helpful so far, could you suggest some middles names to go with Ruby which only have one syllable please?

We were always going to have a Ruby (Dh's fave name) and a Millie (which was my fave name). We ended up with a ds (Finley) and I now have a niece called Milly so it looks pretty unlikely. They are both lovely names and most people won't make the connection.

yes
btoh sill y names imo

thanks princess. I LOVE the name Finley! Always have done, but now one of my best friends has a Finley so I could never steal his name now!

Ruby Sue is nice I think. (Maybe mental associations with Looby-Loo now I think of it).

Or how about:
Ruby May
Ruby Kate

Or you could go all Kaiser Chiefs and just have Ruby Ruby Ruby Ruby.

ok one syllable middle names

I have an Ella Rose and Lexie Rae so

Rose
Rae
Joy
Mae
Sue
Lee/Leigh
Blue (not everyone's taste but I like it)
hope
Jean

ruby Jean - brilliant
ruby Kate
ruby kit

they're my favorites, the last 3!

you could always have ruby fionn (pn Finn) if you like it that much

Fionn means little blonde one so depends on what you think?

millie isn't a name

"Btoh sill y names imo" says the fish whose kids are called plaice, monkfish and lobster.

Thanks both!

I like Ruby Mae and Ruby Kate from those!

Ruby Blue would be just wrong wouldn't it?!

What about Ruby Red? te he

never really thought through the whole colour thing!

ruby pearl?

No, people will forget about the brand in years to come. plus there will be PLENTY of people who've never heard of it. My dh, parents, brother etc.

southeastastra - beg to differ, you aks my dd what her name is!

You can name someone anything you like!

dizzy - I prefer the meaning of the name to the actual name

southeastastra whether or not you think its a name is a wee bit late as MillieMooMoo already has a dd named Millie, its whether or not ruby can be given as a sibset and what mn for ruby now

say again

Yeah dizzydixie, me thinkin you have been on the vino tonight?

have I!?! Sorry I must have missed this completely

I thought op already have a daughter called Millie and wondered about naming next dd Ruby - concern over make up brand

when told in other's opinions not to worry she then asked for suggestions for middle name for ruby

am I totally missing it?!?

someone tell me to go to bed before I completely disgrace myself!
