[Opinions] Re: Phoebe, Ruby, Sadie, Ella or Poppy?
Phoebe - pleasant, deserves its popularity but might not retain it for long.
Ella - not a favourite, but certainly second-best. I'd prefer Eleanor or Helen.
Poppy - I really don't like flower names, and this one sounds too much like Pappie (Afrikaans for Daddy).
Ruby - I like jewel names even less. This one shortens to Rube, as does Reuben (m): unattractive at best.
Sadie - I don't enjoy nicknames becoming full names, but I break my own rule and really like Sally. Sadie, I'm afraid, just doesn't make the grade.
