Mimi Rose or Ruby Ava?...

[FSB]

we've managed to narrow our DD's name down to two firm options, but are struggling to choose one over the other.

we really like the Ruby option, but are worried that it's a bit too common (live in NW London). i also love the Mimi option, but we've had some negative feedback about it, which is bothering the DH - something to do with Elle McPherson's sister and a sex tape!!!

please help!

Mimi - the woman from Shameless

Both are good names - much prefer Mimi though. Ruby is very popular around here - there are THREE in my daughter's class!

Mimi? Does she have very cold hands?

LOL OrmIrian!!! that is where i got it from in the first place, but it seems that this Mimi from Shameless is now more famous!!

i've never watched shameless, but i'm assuming it's not a flattering namesake?

nevermind, no-one will remember a TV program in a couple of years.

we would like Mimi to be short for something NappyAddict, but can't find a lengthening that we like... any more suggestions?

Ava Rose sounds nice to me.

Love Mimi Rose, don't know what suggestions you have had, but perhaps a shortening for Mimosa?

Mimi is the name of a poodle, it's a cute name for a 3 year old, but how can a woman grow into a balanced individual, when she is called Mimi?? If it's a family nick name, then well, ok, but as a serious, actual first name, I think you need to reconsider. Sorry, only my opinion, but I doubt she will like it as a teenager...or on her CV. I'd never hire anyone called Mimi, they'd um, just be a bit wierd??? SORRY!!!

jemima?
