we are trying to narrow down our lists. We are set for boys names with Simon or Gabriel. For girls we are trying to decide between Ruby or Sage. I like that they are short and sweet. Sage, to me sounds more earthy and may work better as she matures. Thoughts?
Thanks! Sorry this the the first time i posted a discussion and I think it went up twice:( Yes Sage does make me think of the herb but Ruby makes me think of a gemstone. Neither makes a difference to me but I see the consensus is Ruby so far:)
I prefer Sage. Not sure why people don't like it. Makes me think of Paige but less popular and earthier; both good things.
Nothing wrong with Ruby, but it feels very southern to me. Like her full name would be Ruby Lou and she hangs out on the bayou all day... Not that there's anything wrong with that, but it's just nms.
Thanks ladies. We are going with Gabriel for a boy and the newly discovered Clair for a girl! Classic, not too popular and short and sweet. So pumped. Plus 2 people I know had babies this summer and named them Ruby... Too trending.

The only Sage I know is an NFL QB - super masculine.

So I vote for Ruby!
For the record I like Simon over Gabriel! And for eventual sibsets (?) if it matters to you, Ruby does sound better with those names.
