Re: Ruby or Ruth?
in reply to a message by BBH
Most definitely: Ruth.
Reasons:
- Ruby makes me think of an old single woman living in a house with 80 cats who has gone nuts and wears lots of ruby red lipstick and fake ruby jewelery.
- most jewel names tend to sound cheap after some time (Crystal, Jade, Amber) even though I still think Jade is kind of pretty.
- it generally makes me think of someone crazy
- and of fake jewelery
- it sounds cutesy
- it is getting way too common
I like Ruth because,
- it's simple
- it's underused and strong
- it could never sound cheap
Sorry, I just have really strong negative feelings for Ruby. Not trying to insult anyone, just my opinion.
