Re: Ruby and Lily?
in reply to a message by elizabethannewhistle
Of the two, I prefer Lily. Generally I'm not fond of either jewel names or flower names, and Ruby seems particularly flashy and down-market to me. Lily is bland and harmless, which is preferable!
I'd much rather see a Ruth than a Ruby; and I'd prefer Lily as a nn for Elizabeth, or for Lilian or even Lily-Anne.
