My daughter will be one of these. Which one, I don't know.

Help me to decide please.

PS I know they are both very popular but this does not concern me. I have a very unusual name and hated the fact when growing up.

Soooo many little Rubies around here at the moment, but I only know one Daisy.

I like both names but, on that basis, I would go with Daisy.

Daisy is a much, much prettier name than Ruby.

Daisy.

I would say though that it is possibly a bit 'little girlie' and she may not like it when she's a thirty year old human rights lawyer or whatever.

That being the case, could I suggest using Daisy as a nickname for Margaret?

I love Ruby (as does DH) and would definitely have used it if I didn't care about popularity... I avoided top ten names but that's just personal choice. Plus I had a boy. Anyway, it's a LOVELY name I reckon.

Ruby - at a push (Daisy is nice for a baby/toddler, but IME too twee for an adult - sorry)

I'm sorry but have you considered Pearl ?

Daisy won't be twee with all the adult Poppies and girls named Lily.

Ruby is a hard name imo and very very popular.

Trouble is I know dogs with these names. All the popular girls names are very popular dogs name too. Daisy and Maisie are some of the most popular names for dogs!

LaRagazzaInglese · 02/02/2010 19:58

Daisy is popular because its pretty and sort of classic like most flower names
Ruby is popular for trying to be fashionable, which it isn't anymore
