What do people think of the name Ruby?

[RA1988]

Thank you 💖

Lovely name

Gorgeous and I haven’t met anyone called Ruby in my kids school so not to popular…

Hate it 😬 very working class IME. Pearl though!

I know about 12 Ruby's. Very very common name here.

Pearl is awful.

Love it! I see it as “tried and tested” rather than dated - it peaked in popularity a while ago now but has stood the test of time and is still used enough to make it feel it fits with modern trends, but also not so popular that it’s everywhere. Kind of like Chloe.

I think it’s a pretty timeless classic. I like it.

It was quite popular in my area around 15-20 years ago, I know at least 3 teen Ruby’s but havent heard of any recently. The “old lady” name that’s trending around here instead is Elsie, which is not as nice in my opinion as Ruby.

The Kaiser Chiefs song is a good singalong.

(Pearl - no! Awful. Pearl necklace is a given for the bullies).

Hate it. Sorry.

Its a nice name, in theory. But I have a relative named Ruby, nicknamed "Rubes" (awful!)

I love it, but then my best friend has a Ruby and she’s the most beautiful, kind girl I know, so I’m biased! I think it works well as a child and adults name, not many feel right for both.

Not keen, sorry. But I think that is as we have a lot of pets in our friend circle called Ruby! Dogs/horses/parrots

To people of my generation Ruby always makes you think of Ruby in Upstairs Downstairs

I’m not keen as I don’t like the ‘oob’ sound.

It's my dachshund's name!

It's one of the small potatoes and they are cracking.

I know way too many dogs called Ruby

My granny was Ruby!

Beautiful name! Love it 🥰

Lovely name...but it's overused if that's an issue for you. If not, very nice.

Id never use it but i don't dislike it on other children

Love it! Pretty & v cool!

It’s a beautiful name and I know children from 3-18 called Ruby, but not loads of them.

Indelibly, for certain oldies, associated with the Kenny Rogers song ......

You've painted up your lips and rolled and curled your tinted hair
Ruby, are you contemplating going out somewhere?
The shadow on the wall tells me the sun is going down
Oh, Ruby
Don't take your love to town

Think it’s a great name

I love it. Would have been DS23's name if he had been a girl. I know two now, one is 9 and the other 6.

Ruby on Corrie !
