Re: Would you side eye me?

  • Yeah... I love both the names, but am not a fan of this combo in one family.  Sorry.

  • I think they are both darling names and honestly wouldn't think anything of it. I say do it!

  • I wouldn't notice the matchiness.  There are far worse sibsets than Scarlet and Ruby.

    This, I think both names are adorable (especially Ruby)! 

  • I have a Ruby (4)and a Scarlett(2) and some people notice the "theme" and others don't.   I honestly just love both names too and they will grow up to be individuals so I say do it!  Super cute!
  • Cute names. I would definitely notice.

    I love both names and i feel bad saying it but i think its too matchy. Its ok for two girls but might be a problem if you have a third!
  • I would notice too. But maybe it's the teacher in me. We had students with the last name Taylor... The girls were Ann and Elizabeth. Noticed that.

  • Not at all, I love both those names and it is matchy but not in a bad way.

  • I would think it was a little strange but wouldn't make a big deal about it.

  • Are you only going to have two children? If so, then it would probably be okay. It is a bit cheesy, but lots of people have themed sibsets.

    If you are planning on having more children I would not do it because it kind of locks you into using another 'red' name (Rusty?) or having one child standing out as not matching your theme.

  • Given the fact that your daughters will only be living under your roof (ie needing you to call for their names in tandem or sign cards for them, or...well I really cannot come up with any other times where people really list an entire family's set of names together....) for 18 out of the 78 year of their lives, I am not quite sure why it matters.

  • If you like it, roll with it. It's a bit themey maybe but they're both solid legit names people know.

    What do I know though? I have a Ruby and my baby name of the week is Hazel..so I'm right there with you in a way.

  • It's definitely theme-y, and I'd probably make a SLIGHT side-eye. But it's not THAT bad. They are both really nice names, and if you really like Ruby, I wouldn't let it stop you.

    I don't think it is a big deal.

  • I love both names, but yes, I would side-eye you. Not in a mean way but still.

  • Yeah sorry. Independently they are both great names but together it's theme overload.

  • Both names individually are fine, but together I would feel like it was a red theme also. I would probably roll my eyes a little, but I've seen worse.

  • That's a tough one because both names are great.  If it were me, I probably wouldn't do it.

  • i think it's cute! and im not totally sure id notice it unless you pointed it out. 
  • Yup. I would. Sounds like you have an affinity for the colour red.

  • I actually know someone who has a Scarlett and a Ruby. I always thought it was odd but it's not too horrible because both are cute names

    I would notice that they are "themed", but I honestly wouldn't care or side eye you for it. They are both cute names regardless.
  • Wouldnt even think of it, I think they are cute!

  • As long as baby 3 isn't matching as well, I think you are good to go..
