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

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

No no, you are right I just had to read your post a couple of times before I got it. I, on the otherhand have indulged in a few glasses tonight so please forgive me.

lol princessosyth, am worried that my pg brain is REALLY beginning to take over - very jealous of your vino though

must be living on a different plaine...but Ruby & Millie is the name of a cosmetics line...I didn't even know that....so, to me, Ruby and Millie would be just nicely flowing sibling names...

Is it me, or is everyone naming their baby Ruby? I've seen dozens lately! It is a nice name, though.

Ruby is quite a common name at the moment...although, I think it's slowly dropping of the topspot to make space for Martha and Matilda

Dizziedixies - You are right lovey!

My 2 yr old dd is called Millie Eve.

I'm expecting #2 so am musing over naming #2 if a girl, Ruby.

Whether a name is common or not doesnt bother us, it has to go nicely with Millie which I think it does, was wondering if the make-up brand made it sound a bit twee

We both like it anyway, so will prob use it regardless, but it's good to hear a lot havent heard of the make-up brand

I considered the name Ruby for my dd3 but i must admit the link to the cosmetics did sway me away from the name - I have a nearly 5 yo Millie

My mums neighbour had a Laura and an Ashley.
When she called them in she sounded like a woman in desperate need of soft furnishings.

To op, yes and you know it

sunnydelight · 06/03/2008 08:55

Do you live in Brighton by any chance?

I absolutely love both names, but yes - it probably is a bit much!

belgo · 06/03/2008 08:56

why would Ruby and Millie be too much? Is it really such a popular brand of make-up? i've never heard of it.

Sorry but agree with SEA that 'Millie' isnt really a name. (runs away quickly)

A friend of a friend has a Sam and an Ella - didn't really think of the Salmonella thing until it was too late!

allgonebellyup · 07/03/2008 21:30

alfie - is Tilly not a real name either??

alfiesbabe · 07/03/2008 21:33

I have taught two sets of brothers called Samuel and Daniel which I thought sounded a bit silly; also brothers called Brendan and Brandon; and have just started to teach the youngest in a family of 4 sisters, Ellie, Millie, Lottie and Callie which I have to be honest sounds like a load of CBeebies characters!!

MillieMummy · 07/03/2008 21:33

I have a Millie (don't understand why it's not a 'real' name), and seriously considered Ruby for baby no 2 - was concerned about the make-up link. No2 was a boy though so didn't have to make a final decision.

alfiesbabe · 07/03/2008 21:33

Tilly is an abbreviation of Matilda.
