Name my baby.

[spitforspat]

We're looking for something not too common. Last name will be Mendez. Current contenders are:

Ruby
Margot
Lydia
Ramona

What do you like? Any suggestions?

[gummy]

Ruby!

[Deleted]

I like Ramona least. The others I like.

[rootbeerfloat]

Lydia

[BaliHai]

If our next baby is another girl, she'll be Margot, so that's my vote.

Ramona was on the table when I was pregnant with our first, but we ultimately went with Lennon.

[melodramatic26]

LOVE Margot. I also love Ramona, but that's because it's my great Aunt's name and she was the sweetest lady I've ever known.

Ruby is probably my least favorite, but that's a great list.

[Deleted]

Ruby!

If we have another girl, she will be Irene.

[pinkeggs]

I like Ruby.

I love Lennon. You don't think Margot Mendez sounds weird? I struggle with the alliteration.

I love the alliteration. It flows nicely visually, too.

My daughter is Lydia, and Margot is another one of my very favorites. I also like Ruby a lot. Ramona, I have a hard time with. Just weird pop culture associations, I think.

Overall though, love them, and sounds like you'll pick something awesome regardless.

Thanks for the positive feedback- I've been getting a lot of scrunched noses. You have great taste, so I feel very reassured.

These are beautiful. I actually really considered Gwen, until my sister said with the last name it sounds like a mosquito-borne disease ala dengue fever. She's such a helper. Haha.

[cabbagecabbage]

I like all of them and vote Margot. I know 3 baby Rubys, so it is too common for me.

I'll add Beatrice, Alice, and Rose as suggestions.

[eb777888]

I love all of them!

Ruby is a nice name I always wondered why it hasn't made a comeback like other of the older names. It's beautiful. I also love Margot and Lydia. Lydia is probably my favorite.

[gretchenindisguise]

From your list: Ruby.

Before I even read your post I was thinking Georgia!

And well, I think it actually could work.

[mcsangel2]

I like Margot best, I think.

You could always use Ermentrude!

[memenee]

I like Lydia and it goes nice with your last name.

Ruby is very popular here.

Gwen doesn't sound like a mosquito-borne illness?? It's not like you named her baby Zika or something. LOL!

I like the way it flows! I really like all of your choices, though; you can't go wrong with any of them.

ETA- Now that I've said them all with your last name, I think Ruby sounds the best.

[adlove]

I have a Margot so I am biased, but I also adore Lydia. It's so feminine and beautiful.

[spitforspat]

Another question- a good friend has a daughter named Marlo. I feel like a weirdo copycat with Margot. But I really love that name. Would you feel weird if you were my friend.

Also- for the record, that is my H's last name. I didn't change mine. So stop trying to google me.

I LOVE Margot.

[cbwm1]

My mom's name is Ramona and she would BEG you not to give your poor child that name. LOL

I love love love Ruby and Lydia a ton.

[duff]

Margot and Lydia are both on my list. Florence is my current favorite.

[sapphireblue]

Ruby is my favorite of those.

[mrsukyankee]

Lilianne
Angeli

[bananapancakes]

I love Ruby and Lydia.

Ivy is another one I like and it goes well with Mendez.
