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.
?? weird. Out of those 3, I actually think of Millie as less of a dog name than Ruby or Sadie. I actually really like all 3 names (as people names or dog names) but I just don't see how Millie is definitely a dog name whereas Sadie and Ruby are not.
Millie is literally a dog name since Millie was GHWBush's dog while he was in the White House.
Point stands that all 3 of these are gone as either dog or ppl names. Sadie and ruby are "literally" dog names because they are the names of my neighbors' dogs.

Sandra, maybe. I can't think of anything for Ruby. Maybe Rubina? Robin?

OP, Sadie can be a nickname for many "S" names if you want, even if they aren't traditionally so. I think Ruby is a fine standalone name; doesn't sound young to me at all.

And she went by Ruby.

Sadie is traditionally a nickname for Sarah.

I think both are fine as stand-alone names.

Sadie can also be short for Sadella, though I think Sadie is nice just on its own.

Rubina is a beautiful Arabic name, if you're not opposed to that. We were considering it for our current pregnancy before finding out it's a boy.

I read a book once where Sadie was short for a double name....I think Sarah Jane. You could do something like that. I am pretty sure Ruby is a name in itself.

Sadie is most definitely a cat name.

My name is Sadie and my sister is Ruby. We both think that the names Seraphina and Rubina work as long names.
