Girls middle name suggestions with Ruby...

[dueinfeb]

Hi again...

Here to rack people's brains now on middle name suggestions!

Ruby's looking like the first choice if we have a girl. Our surname is 3 syllable's so I'm thinking maybe a short/er middle name.

In my family there is a bit of tradition for girl's middle names starting with M and there is also a fair few names of the women in the family starting with J so I was tending towards these 2 letters but am very flexible!

Thanks in advance

ruby grace
ruby may
ruby faith
ruby jade
ruby jane

if you have a longer surname, i'd be leaning toward a single syllable middle name

Our friends have a "Ruby Claire" which I think it gorgeous!

Suggestions....

Ruby May
Ruby Marie
Ruby Mara
Ruby Maribel
Ruby Matilda

Ruby Jane
Ruby Jade
Ruby Joy
Ruby Jasmine
Ruby Jacinta

Thanks...

Ruby May is what springs to mind for me. Wasn't sure if it sounds too old-fashioned?? What do you think??

I also like Jane and Grace but can't use those ones as they're already taken!

I had thought of Ruby Jade as her brother is Declan James but wasn't sure if it was too gem-stone-ish iykwim!

Apologies if I sound difficult!

Yeah I didn't think of that (Ruby Jade)! I was going to suggest Jewel but thought that was too much too! I really like 'M' names.

i think ruby may is really pretty - and little old fashioned names are very popular now!

i think it would depend on how you spelt Jade - if you changed it to Jayde, it wouldn't have the same gemstone feel.

but really, unless you hyphenate, how many people actively share their middle names all the time? most middle names come from family names or meaning for the parents...

I think Ruby May is gorgeous as well!!

I like Ruby Grace

Since Ruby is a short name, I think you could use a longer middle name with it, instead of one of the typical one-syllable middle names like Jade, Clare, May, and Grace, even if you do have a longer surname.
