Ruby, Isabella and Edmund
What are your thoughts on these three names?

Replies

I like them.Ruby is spunky yet natural
Isabella is pretty but popular
Edmund is one of the better Ed names and I love the association to the Narnia books.
Ruby isn’t really my thing, though I find it a very sweet-sounding, classy name.Isabella has always been a favorite of mine; it’s so gorgeous, with a long history.Edmund is a very handsome, strong-sounding name for a boy; I love the history it has, the meaning, and the potential nickname “Eddy”. Isabella and Edmund would be wonderful for a sister and brother!
Edmund is a bit dated.
I used to like Ruby, but now I think it's just ok. It's a little bit too "girly" for my liking. Honestly, I can only picture it on a mermaid :D
I love Isabella. I've always liked it ever since I was, I don't know, like, 7. But when I was nine, I started REALLY liking it. In fact, it was my favorite name for TWO WHOLE YEARS!!!
I love Ruby, have for decades, it's fun and zippy. Edmund is really nice, it's a very "posh" tweedy name to me (we have the rare Edward but no Edmunds where I live). Isabella is pretty and I wish I liked it more. I prefer Isobel, it's more gothic.
I like them all
I dislike Ruby and other jewel names. I far prefer Isobel and Isabel to Isabella and Isabelle: shorter, less complicated, and with a far better rhythm than Isabella. Edmund looks sulky and grumpy; Edmond is preferable, though I don't like it enough to use.
