Violet & Ruby Sibset- WDYT?

TrudyCampbell · December 2012

I'm going to be TTC #2 in a couple of months and I'm currently in love with the name Ruby. WDYT of Ruby with my DD Violet Emmeline? I know they are both color names but I am hoping that it's passable.

Bring on the brutal honesty!

NHbride129 · December 2012

no no no. pretty names but not as sisters.

mrsmcdonald · December 2012

Definitely no. Just no.

SnoopyLuv · December 2012

I wouldn't immediately go "Oh they have a theme". I think they are great complementing names and I say go for it!

chibride4 · December 2012

Both pretty names, but way too much together. My cousin's DDs are named Lily and Dahlia, which has become a family joke. Don't do it. If you love Ruby so much, there's always the middle name spot.

queenbone · December 2012

It's a very colorful sibset. It is a little cheesy, but I don't think it is awful.

I would strongly consider whether you intend to have more children or not and if there are color names you would want to use to continue this theme once you start it with #2. Who would your son be? Jasper? Cole? Flint? Forrest? Kelly?

Agreed.

Lue94 · December 2012

I think it's cute.

Manderlin923 · December 2012

No...

Other suggestions with Violet:

Isla, June, Mia, Willa, Wren, Camille, Mira, Lorelai, Delilah, Aurora

I think it's cute....they sound good together. But I don't love Ruby so for me I would pick something else. I LOVE Violet.

jewels835 · December 2012

I like them both together. It's not like they are both flower names or both gemstone names. It's one of each. Pretty!

But they are both considered colors as well.

I am torn. I don't think it's awful, but I'm not sure I'd do it myself. I really like both names.

I knew a sibset (older ladies when I knew them) named Ruby, Pearl, and Opal.

alohamora · December 2012

Eh, I don't think it's terrible, but that may be because I like both names a lot. I'd probably make Ruby be the very last choice and see if you could come up with any other option first.

Great names...separately. They're too much together. Sorry.

Yeah, this unfortunately.

countrywed · December 2012

I love both names, but would think jokingly "if they have a boy will they name him blue?"

benmel31 · December 2012

With Violet, I wouldn't use Ruby for a first name. If you love it, use it in the middle name spot.

erbear · December 2012

I would have never thought colors. I have a friend who has a Violet and a Ruby (and a Henry) and I love their names.

This makes me very happy because Henry is our #1 boy name! So atleast I'm not the only one who is pairing these names together.

love.love · December 2012

I love it!

My daughter is Violet and if this baby is a girl Ruby was a consideration.
We have decided to go with Ivy though, which is still plants & colours but I don't really mind.

I also know a Violet & Hazel sibset which is pretty and in the colour and plant theme lol

kim1989 · December 2012

I think they're ok together, I don't really think sibsets matter that much

g8trkim · December 2012

I love both names but it's a little much.

Ladybug32110 · December 2012

I loooooove those names together! So pretty and I think it's a great sibset! ;

Guillerma · December 2012

Sorry - i think it's just too much. Although I do love the suggestion of Violet and Hazel.

frlcb · December 2012

It doesn't bother me at all, I wouldn't think twice about it. I love both names. I know a Ruby and a Scarlett that are sisters.

HopesDiamond · December 2012

I sounds better said "Ruby and Violet".... better than "Violet and Ruby"

Ruby is more traditionally viewed as a name where Violet is more commonly used in daily vernacular as a color. If you lead with that, then yes people will mentally catagorize it to the default of "these are colors"

So they're cute names, not bad together, but if you could get a mulligan I would have named the eldest Ruby.

Also: QUESTION for anyone: I'm looking for my old post history, havent logged on in a year plus but I wanted to find an old thread I'd commented on. How do I find my comment history? Thanks in advance.

Mochadoodle · December 2012

No, I wouldn't choose two color names.

Suggestions...

Violet and Avery

Violet and Calliope

Violet and Mae

Violet and Francesca

Violet and Harper

Violet and Isadora

Violet and Jemima

Violet and Maeve

pettycrocker · December 2012

I think it's cute, I am a fan of matchy/themed names. My friend has 2 daughters, named Azalea, and Liliana. When she told me that #2 was a girl, the first name that popped in my head was "Lily"

Also, all 3 of them share "Rose" as a MN.

hayleydeee · December 2012

I have a Ruby and Violet was my number one girl choice for #2 (we had 2 boys though). It's a little matchy, but not too bad. We get so many compliments on the name Ruby.

Other names I considered for #2 were: Daisy, Opal, Olive and Dahlia. ETA: Love the Hazel suggestion, but that's another color name too.

TrudyCampbell · December 2012

mj.reilly:
I think they work well together.
LOVE Violet! It is one of our top 2 if we have another girl (DD is Fiona, Top 2: Bridget and Violet).

In a non-creepy non-stalker way I have always admired your taste in names so your seal of approval means a lot to me! Are you guys planning on a 4th baby? That's exciting!

brighteyedbride · December 2012

I think that if you want to name your girls Violet and Ruby, do it! The way I see it, and actually what I told a family member once when she said she wasn't fond of a name that I was considering for my first child was (mind you, I hadn't asked what she thought of the name because, quite frankly, I didn't care if she liked it or not), "You had 3 children. You chose to name them ___, ___, and ___." You and your SO will be doing all the hard work creating the baby, you'll be doing all the hard work growing the baby, you get to name the baby

I say bring on the ruby...just know that you're setting yourself and her future boyfriends up for a lifetime of having to buy beautiful red gemstones for her
