Ruby or Juliet

asibilrud · August 2012

which do you prefer between the two and why? not particularly interested in negative opinions or NMS only if you prefer one of these names to another. TIA ladies!

I prefer Ruby. I want to like Juliet, but it's a little too frilly for my taste.

I like both, but of the two I'd choose Ruby.

Fink · August 2012

Tough question since they are both nice enough, but since I think Juliet is too girly, I'll go with Ruby.

Juliet

CiderWench · August 2012

I like Ruby a lot. I've never been a fan of any Jul- names. They are just not attractive to me for some reason.

They're both great, but I prefer the spunk of Ruby.

I really like Juliet. For some reason I cannot get behind Ruby, which is strange for me because I like the classic throw back names.

Juliet was a top contender so I vote for Juliet!

Juliet

TripMomma · August 2012

I like both, Ruby is on my long list...so I would pick that one.

Love Juliet. I like the nn options with Jules and Julie. I do like Ruby too though.

kacelle · August 2012

Both are great names, but I love Ruby infinitely more. I like that it's spunky and really only has one spelling/pronunciation.

Ruby sounds very simple... I would go with Juliet. Juliet sounds very charming. People may think it is too popular but it is actually not. I havent met anybody who named Juliet yet. I always hear it in the movies, books, stories. I thinks it is a very original name.

Juliet by 3,000 miles. I think it's elegant and there's something regal about the name. Ruby just sounds old and unattractive to me. There are some older names that I wish would just be left in the past.

Juliet!!! A thousand times Juliet. Would be a contender for us, but cousin's wife's name.

capulet · August 2012

My name is Juliet, and I like it a lot, so that's my pick. But Ruby is nice too! I guess it's just because of my personality, but I like to think that Juliet is more classic and elegant than frilly or girly - it's interesting the impressions people develop of names; that's my impression, just based on how I view myself.

I have both on my list, and they get a large percent of good votes, however, they are both on the boring side for me and I'd probably never use them.

I'd go with whatever one is less popular. At this time, I think it's Juliet.

I vote Ruby. I have an aunt named Ruby and I've always loved her name.

I like them about the same, but for different reasons.

Ruby is cute and spunky. I like that it feels "tough" (or at least plucky) and feminine at the same time. It's also quaint and homey, like all "old lady names."

Juliet is gorgeous and elegant. I really like that it has roots in classic literature, and because of the play, it feels romantic and haunting.

So. I like both names. They fall at about the same level for me. But they have distinctly different vibes.
