Opinions on Ruby and Jade for twin girls

[Williamclimbseverest]

As in title what do y'all think?

My sister is a Ruby .. she's an adult now but still gets compliments on her names! I love it!!

Ruby and Ellie is cute x

Boom Tish 🥁

@Onlyvisiting with you on that! All the jades I know are trashy to🤣

If they get a little sister, you could call her Amber. Red, Amber and Green. You'd only have to call "traffic lights" to make them coming running.

I think they are ok, but sound unoriginal as a matching pair particularly, as they were both very popular not too long ago. Jade in the 90's and millions of Ruby's early 2000's.

Ruby is ok, Jade is very dated. So many names which flow better together.

Yes
One boy and 27 girls
2 where not called ruby-mine and my friend
It got to the point,when leaning into the pram to coo,you didn't ask the name
You'd have thought that after the first 10 or so,the later parents would have changed their minds on the name of their babies but they didn't seem to notice
19 Ruby's started school over two classes a few years later (a school with a lot of movement thanks to it being in the catchment of the local uni-a lot of students there sent their kids)

It was the joke that they'd put something in the water around that time!

I was thinking the other way round

My exact thoughts!

Lovely names!

Ruby yes...Jade no

Chavtastic.

Maybe they're both chavvy then!

I used to know a woman with 3 girls, Ruby, Jade and Amber!

My daughters names!

I really like them

I quite like Jade. I like its simplicity and think it's a shame it's seen as being a bit downmarket these days. When Mick and Bianca were naming their daughter I'm sure it was seen as modern and bohemian.

Behind The Scenes At The Museum and Double Act - just no.

Theme names is fine for your pets but not your actual offspring.

If you had a boy, would he be Jasper?

DS was at school with a girl called Sapphire. I've also met a Crystal and a Coral.

I quite like Sapphire but I can't imagine it on a quiet, bookish type. Such a 'big' name.

I like them both but they belong to different generation - I would say Ruby is more early early 2000's to now whereas I think Jade gives more of 80's to 90's. On that basis I don't think the names match for twins. If was a singleton, I think either could work.

Don’t go for “matching” names, they are individuals not a pair. My mum is a twin (identical) and she always tells me how grateful she is that her parents gave them both different name “styles” - one traditional, one a bit more modern (well, modern in the 1950s!).

I know siblings called Ruby and Jade!

But yes Amber is lovely too and I'd opt for

Jade and Amber.

But I do love the name Ruby too.

I also like Scarlet which is another colour option!

I prefer Ruby and Pearl
Dislike Jade

Funny how personal taste goes, isn't it? I feel the same about Jade, but I like Ruby.
