Gemmy names for babies in trend

[AGBF]

My avatar is actually from google. But same type of dog! Here she is:

I had been assuming that the dog in the avatar was Ruby. Is Ruby a German Shepherd? She looks like one, but I don't want to make any more assumptions! (My hairdresser has a German Shepherd named Ruby.)

She's actually a Belgian Malinois, thank you for asking! She does get mistaken for a GSD sometimes. Mals are kind of like a smaller, crazier and more energetic version of a GSD. I wasn't very creative with my user name, haha. Here's a better photo of her from last year.

A good friend's cousin has a Belgian Malinois, but he must be large for the breed, because is larger than many German Shepherds I have known. He is very strong and active. A wonderful dog! Named Thor. (It fits him.) I know that police departments and the military are sometimes using this breed in place of GSDs. At any rate, your girl is beautiful.

I love her! She's so pretty!

I have a Scottish Terrier called Ruby she is turning 8 My son goes to school with a few girls called Ruby as well, I agree old fashioned names became popular again and now they are on their way out again.

What age are you?

Name trends usually go in cycles, so names our grandparents and parents had sound old-fashioned and uncool, but names our great-grandparents had sound fresh.



My husband said once every name that ends in an "eeeee" sound (so like -ie or -y) is a stripper name. My name ends in that so I asked him if he thought my name was a stripper name. He got a very deer-in-the-headlights look as he realized he could either say "yes" which would be bad or say "no" which would invalidated his just-made argument.



If you need any help with Latin, let me know! I have taken many years of it and while I'm not the best, I'm no slouch either. I'd honestly recommend learning from a book rather than Duolingo, as I find it a lot easier to just memorize the charts and go than to use Duolingo's "natural learning" kind of thing. It's pretty easy as long as you understand grammar. I have taken Ancient Greek as well but I found it very frustrating and difficult, and only took a year before the classes stopped getting enough students to make.

m 47 but i dont have kids so i also have no grand kids so im way out of the loop
i do see names comming back in i recognise from my grandmother's generation (1910s i guess) so if your a bit younger than me then that could be the same generation we are talking about
i don't mind the old fashoned names - its the modern made up types im not so keen on
my sister is 5 years younger than me and her year had quite different nanes to mine

I actually like Gemma (seen on the show Sons of Anarchy). At this point I think I might use it in the future as an alternative to "Grandma" for me, as we have 2 Grandmas and a Nana already! We shall see..

Being from the South, I've seen a ton of people use Ruby... especially in double names (as we southerners love to give). Some of those I've seen used:

Ruby Jane
Ruby Grace
Ruby Kate (Katherine)
Harper Ruby
Ruby Agnes
Ruby Beth (Elizabeth)

My younger sister's name is Jade. It also happens to be my favorite "gemmy" name.

Ive always liked the name Crystal or Krystal.

Thank you, @AGBF!

I admire your love of knowledge. Ancient Greek is very difficult. Duolingo is wonderful.

I studied English, French and German, and find German the most difficult of the three. Just because prefixes may totally change the meaning of the word.

I once read that there were fewer cases of dyslexia in Slavic languages (as we have very few digraphs).

If I had the time, I’d study Spanish. I feel bad when I travel to Mexico, they understand us but we have very limited knowledge of Spanish.

And if I really had the time, I’d study Korean.

I'd love to be fluent in Spanish too...as well as French.

Korean, Phoenix! I fell in love with South Korea. Such a quiet, beautiful place.

I like the double entendre of the name Diamant for a boy!

And Aqua Marina for a girl is beautiful.
