I love it as an mn. I think it's a strong Biblical name, but also quite gentle and soft. However I think it can come off a bit plain as an fn, and I know many people dislike it. Some people also use the nickname
Ruthie, which I don't care for.
Some combos I've considered it in are
Thalia Naomi Ruth and
Georgina Lily Ruth.
ETA:
Ruth is my favorite out of the three, but all three are respectable names. I think
Rachel looks good on paper, but it can sound a bit harsh sometimes.
