What do you think of when you hear the name Ruby? It is my 2nd pick- Madison is the 1st but it happens to be the 2nd most popular name in the US and i'm worried about that. Please give honest input!

I LOVE Ruby! Has way more character than Madison. She'll almost definitely be the only one in her class.. Great choice!

ETA: I imagine a Ruby as a sweet little girl, helpful, warm & friendly. She's a bit prankish and has a great sense of humor. :)

LOVE the name Ruby. I think it's great. Much hipper than the super popular Madison, IMO :P

I have to say that I LOVE LOVE LOVE it. I would use it, but DH will not go for it. It is so original.

thanks everyone! i do love it too- my mil hates it and let me know it. ! i convinced my dh to let me make the final decision on the first name- since he got the last name (as do most men) and the middle name is after his grandmother. so i think that's fair. I'm pretty sure my mind is made up thanks to your really nice posts! it's great to have some positive feedback. i haven't dared tell anyone else after the bad reaction i got from mil.

I think Ruby is a great name, and I would use it if my husband didn't have a dog named Ruby when he was little. Damn dog.

Don't let your MIL bring you down. Mine HATED our choice of Eleanor & Henry. Joseph was fine because it was her dad's name. This time I'm not telling her any names until baby is here. She doesn't have the nerve to say a word after the baby is then. She's going to flip if we end up using Lucy. Roman & Leo will go over just as well! Just makes me love the names even more ;p
