I'm not a big fan of Ruby, but I do like the combo Ruby Lorelei. Ruby Amarantha and Ruby Eleanor are pretty as well. I don't think Ruby fits well with that sibset. All the names are varied, though.

Ruby Lorelei is very pretty! Thanks.
I know my sibset doesn't 'fit' as such, but I have a very ecclectic taste and to me they all sound spunky and different. :)

I really like Ruby, it's cute, yet workable on an adult as well. I've only ever met one Ruby where I live, so as far as I know it's not too popular.

Of yours I like:
Ruby Eleanor
Ruby Estelle

I also like:
Ruby Adelaide
Ruby Caroline
Ruby Selene
Ruby Cassandra
Ruby Isabelle

I'm not really a fan of Ruby, for no real reason. BUT, I really like Ruby Amarantha (though I prefer Amaranta). :)

I think Ruby's very cute. Doesn't really go with the other sisters, they all have very "fancy" names and Ruby is very simple.
I also would use a very simple name for a mn for Ruby. Like Ruby Anne, Ruby Grace or Ruby Lynn. (Can you tell my Oklahoma heritage is still there?)

Its nice to hear other people's opinions, because I have always thought of Ruby as somewhat fancy! I really don't like Anne, Grace and Lynn as mns (love Grace as a fn though), although one of my kids will have Annette as a mn for my grandmother

Thanks for your opinion :)

I love the name Ruby because it's sweet and short and can sound great with either long or short MNs. Out of yours I like:

Adelaide Ruby
(Ruby Adelaide?)
Ruby Eleanor
Ruby Estelle

Here are some more:

Ruby Alexandra
Ruby Andromeda
Ruby Charlotte
Ruby Isabelle
Ruby Willow
Ruby Antoinette
Ruby Cordelia
Ruby Irene
Ruby Jacqueline
Ruby Josephine
Ruby Nicole
Ruby Noelle
Ruby Sabrina
Ruby Selene
Ruby Seraphina
Ruby Tatiana
Ruby Topaz
Ruby Victoria

I don't know if any of these are your taste, but of course they can all be switched around to make Ruby the MN. Tell me if you like any!
