Still No Name for Baby Girl

[KLRJ]

Officially made it to two weeks with no name for baby girl and I feel beyond awful about it! Every name seems to have something about it that I don't like.

-Faye: love the name in theory, but calling her it seems awkward and clunky because of the single syllable and there being no obvious ways to make it seem affectionate

-Ruby: absolutely love it, sounds SO cute with our surname (Robson) but at #41 with 1020 girls given the name last year, it's more popular than my other children's names and I worry about her being surrounded by others with the same name

-Rosa: also love it, sounds incredibly classy and goes quite well with our surname (not as well as Ruby), but obvious nickname is Rosie which I don't like and is also very popular

Help me decide please! Also I'd love any other suggestions if anyone has any please. Had a couple of suggestions of Romilly on my last post which I thought was super cute but husband disagrees 🫠

Please don't do this. It will bring her lifetime of crap that comes with made up unusual names.

Always so much traction on naming posts but all so often no replies from OP. Anyone else noticed this??

If I remember correctly I think when both of our girls was born a name that got short listed was Ada it's an old Irish name I think but spelled the English way
Ps one daughter has an Irish name and the other a Japanese but we are both English it sounds weird to hear but we like unusual names lol another possibility was Anya

I think they are all lovely names, but if none sound right maybe back to the drawing board. I do think Ruby Robson is cute now, not sure I’d want a betty boop/minnie mouse style name in my twenties though x

Thank you so much everyone for all of your responses, it's been really helpful to hear some real world feedback on the popularity of Ruby. I think the decision fatigue, the whirlwind of life with a newborn and the post partum hormones and tiredness have had me picking apart every decision to a new extreme, so thank you all for helping me rationalise! I think she's going to be my little Ruby! 🥹

1020 Ruby's across the whole country for that year isn't very many 😆 what ever name you give them its completely pot luck if they will meet other kids with the same name. I grew up in a small school with 4 other Emily's, it didn't bother me in the slightest. I still know loads of Emily's and again I don't even think about it. Ruby is cute but will grow with her as she gets older, you like it and it goes with you surname 🤷‍♀️

Same the only Ruby's I know are teens/ early 20s op Ruby is a lovely name

If you like Faye but it’s not quite right, what about Faith?
I know a Rosa and she’s always called Rosa, never Rosie.

Sorry, just thought of another - Remy? Remy Robson possibly works better than Ruby or Rosa. Although, if you like Ruby go with Ruby. It’s a beautiful name and not as common as you think. I chose a name that was not at all popular when he was born and so did a million others lol. I hear it ALL the time and he’s one of two in his class.

I know a Rosa she's gorgeous and lovely and shes never called Rosie

What about Fionne, nickname Fay or Fi?

My lb is in pre school and there's only 1 Ruby I agree with the other posts it was more popular 2007/08 maybe it's a lovely name.
Also Evie is cute not 2 many either.
What about Mia
Ciara
Orla
Hope this helps it is a lot more difficult to pick out a girls name I think 2.

All lovely names. None too common .
You could just call her Faye darling/ darling Faye.

How about you flip a coin , choose a name for a day and use it , the next day use another one. Try all three and see which you like most.
It’s win win here . Or use two that you love Rosa Faye, Faye Ruby with one the middle name

Rosella

Ruby Robson all the way!

Go for the name you love. Ruby Robson is a great name. My DD has a name with similar ranking in the list and she has gone through nursery, school and university without being in a class with the same name.

Pick the name you love. Don't get overly obsessed with how popular it is, it doesn't really matter.

Go with Ruby

Evie or similar is soooooo common around here! I know multiple Evies, Aoifes, Evelyns, Eves, Evas, Avas....

Another vote for Ruby. Lovely name and, if it helps, I have an 8 year old and in her entire life we've only met one other Ruby.

It's a no brainer. The perfect name is Bobbi.

Ruby-Rosa Robson

Morganna Robson

Athena Robson

Peaches Robson

Alexandra Robson

I see you’ve probably decided on Ruby, which is a lovely name.

Just to add though, I have a teenage Rosa and she’s never been nicknamed Rosie by anyone. And I still love the name Rosa and think it goes beautifully with your surname - though so does Ruby, so you can’t go wrong!

Faye.

Faye-Faye for cuteness

That’s lovely! Ruby is a gorgeous name 💕
