Both of those names are common now and won't seem like baby names when your baby is an adult.

I get it, though, because I wanted to name our daughter Millie and I thought it's a dog name, but couldn't really commit to the full-versions (Mildred, Milicent, Amelia, Camille, Camila......to name a few). I still think it's an adorable nickname though. My name is Lori and it's a nickname, so my husband tried to say it didn't matter.....but Millie alone is a dog name. Sadie and Ruby are not dog names. Well, I can see them being dog names, but when I meet a child named Sadie I don't expect it to be short for something.

Second for Mercedes, that is my Aunt's name and she has always been Aunt Sadie.

I know someone named Ruth who sometimes uses Ruby as a nickname.

OP, I know a Roubina, I suppose that could be shortened to Ruby.

I do know both a baby Ruby and a grandma Ruby, both are wonderful.

I know people who named their daughter Mercedes (they are part Hispanic) and they call her Sadie.

If you're still reading at this point, OP, and I can't blame you if you aren't: I think Sadie can be a short form of Susannah. Plenty of people name their daughters Sadie as a full name. Ruby has no longer form. Lucy is often given as the full name, but also has several pretty longer forms.

A cigarette stuck securely to her moist lower lip, Sadie tucks the loose strands of wiry hair back under her netted cap. Ashes fall and crumple like broken dreams onto the greasy skillet.

Ruby in my family was short for Rueben. We were thinking about using (Ruby) it but went with something else.

Oh!!! OP, dont let DCUM get you down. I love the name Ruby. We just had a baby and named her Maggie (given name). We gave her a more formal/traditional middle name...just to give her options.
