Short names for baby girls are more popular than ever

Long traditional names like Catherine and Elizabeth may not be as popular as they used to be.

Shorter names are proving more popular than ever with parents, especially four-letter names for baby girls.

A lot of the names on our baby names list are short and sweet, but there's one that has been at the top for years.

The name Ruby is one of our favourite names for a girl.

It's short, sweet, but strong and regal, making it the perfect choice for your little one.

The name Ruby has seen a spike in popularity in recent years, with many new mums opting for shorter names for their daughters.

The charming moniker is of Middle English origin. It translates from the Old French name ‘Rubi’.

It comes from the beautiful gemstone of the same name, but it also means ‘precious stone’.

According to The Bump, the name is linked to wealth, health, passion, and success in love.
