Ruby or Morgan?

[hcarter8]

I recently made a thread asking about Morgan for a girl but now we have another choice that is a completely different style. My husband prefers Morgan but I like ruby it seems much more classic, I don't hate Morgan but it does feels slightly trendy/2000s to me. Which name do you prefer?

Morgan is a boy's name. I know it's been used for girls since the 20th C but no surprise that it sounds like a boy's name!

Ruby 100%. it's a really pretty name, biased as I have one! I think it will age really well and from what I have read most girls named Ruby like their name.

We always get complemented on it and have never come across another one in any baby/toddler groups where I am.

I know a boy Morgan and associate it more for boys. I also don't like the nicknames for Morgan - Morg?!
Where as my Ruby gets called Rue or RuRu most of the time!

Morgan's a surname. Why would you (for either sex IMO, but certainly for a girl)?

Ruby is not to my taste, but much much better than Morgan.

Definitely Ruby.

I much prefer Morgan, I know far too many dogs called Ruby.

Another vote for Ruby! Morgan is a common surname where I’m from so I don’t really see it as a first name. That being said, I used to work with a female Morgan so I know it’s not unheard of.

😁

I know 2 children with the first name Morgan - of course it's a first name.

Ruby is a lovely name and I reckon when she's grown up, she will thank you for it.

Ruby is gorgeous. I know one nn Rube.

Ruby 😊

Ruby.

Hello, we've decided to go with Ruby over morgan as it seems much more timeless (my dhs great grandmother who was born in 1923 was called ruby!) Morgan although a Welsh name originally feels very American for my taste especially on a girl imo. Thanks everyone for your suggestions.

Morgan, I know an English one who is very elegant and in France we have Morganes, always seem to be very pretty.

Good choice @hcarter8 . Ruby is much nicer.
