Ruby Devereaux

Boys:

(Ruth was my Grandma's name, and Kristofor is my brother-in-law)

Our last name is 1 syllable and simple.

    If you are sold on Devereaux please keep it in the middle name spot.  The only legit thing I can find is a user submitted name on BTN and it's masculine.  Ruby is lovely.

    I find Bennett pretty trendy and 10 years ago I would have loved Aiden but the spin offs have ruined it.  Bennett Kristofor I guess because I do like Ben or Benji as a nn.

    I agree on the no Devereaux-reminds me of the movie Double Jeporady. I like Ruby and Bennet.

    If you absolutely must use Devereaux, middle name spot it.  I like Ruth as a first name. Bennett is also nice.

    Love Ruby as a first name. Bennett and Aiden are equal for me. I like both. I would probably choose Aiden if it weren't so insanely popular for many years. Bennett is trendy but I don't think it will ever reach the mass use and unique reproduction level of Aiden.

    Devereux is a badass middle name. I think it looks awesome paired with Ruby. And I prefer Bennett over Aiden.

    Devereux is a last name not a first name so that's weird to me. Ruth and Ruby are great!!

    Ruby Devereaux or maybe Ruth Devereaux?

    Bennett Kristofor- Aiden has been WAY overused IMO

    Ruby and Bennett

    I don't like Devereaux. If you must use it, keep it in the mn spot. The Aiden/Hayden/Jayden/Brayden trend has ruined all of these names for me. So overdone!

    How about Demetria instead of Devereaux? You could call her Demi :)

    Actually, that's part of what we liked about Devereaux was the nickname Devi. I don't know, it just has some southern charm to me :)

    Devereaux reminds of Blanche Devereaux from The Golden Girls. I can't imagine what pain it would be to go through life with that name. It's going to constantly be mispronounced and misspelled. Ruby is super adorable though.

    I don't love Bennett but it's not terrible. Aiden is a nice name but like everyone else has said, it's way over used.

    @breezycat nailed it. I automatically thought of Blanche. It's cool in the mn spot if it has meaning to you!

    EDD for #1: 3/19/17

    Aiden is a fine name but it's common and had a million variations so I prefer Bennett.

    Devereaux is a terrible FN. Use it as a MN or not at all. Love Ruby! Ruth is nice too.

    Ruby & Bennett. Aiden is too overused. Bennett is becoming popular though

    I prefer Ruby Devereaux- I'm guessing Devereaux has some significant to you, so I think it's fine as a MN (many women make their maiden name their MN or even use it for their kids' MN) but I think it's a bit too much as a first name.


    I like Bennett and Aidan, but if you use Aidan, PLEASE spell it correctly- it's A-I-D-A-N. I know everyone in the US started spelling it with an E so that's what most people are used to seeing but it's not correct and it drives me CRAZY!
