Love all your combinations (more apt to spell Twila like Twyla though)! Susannah and Claudia are probably my favourites with Agatha being the one I'm least inclined to use.

I like it better as a fn, but I think that's because it ends in a -y (and most -y names sound better as fn's to me, but that's just me probably :b). But the combos you suggested actually all sound lovely together and the flow is quite nice. My favorites are Claudia Ruby, Lucinda Ruby, Susannah Ruby, and Sylvia Ruby. I also like Agatha, though. The only one I don't care for is Twila, but it's not awful by any means. :)

I love Ruby and I think Susannah Ruby is the best combo you've picked out.

I like:
Susannah Ruby and Sylvia Ruby. I like Ruby, it's cute.

I like it went it is after the first name and is the end but it seems to me that once you add a last name onto it The rhythm and flow just get lost.

I think Ruby is a gorgeous mn. I have a daughter named Delilah Ruby.

Of your combos, I like..

Agatha Ruby
Claudia Ruby
Lucinda Ruby
Susannah Ruby

I like Ruby as a fictional or artistic name, but not as a real name, same goes for all these directly-in-your-face-names like Blaze, Dawn, Faith, Storm etc. ... it's not that I simply don't like names that are actually words used in everyday language, but those having really "big" and "great" meanings. It's too much for me :)

I love it, it's been in my top 5 since I was about 17 or something. It was my fave name for years, then it got popular here in Australia and I thought about other names. I still love it and I could still see myself using it in the future. Ruby Mae was my fave combo and I also now love Ruby Maeve. From your list I like Lucinda Ruby. The other names aren't my style, sorry.

I used to like it more than I do now. However, I can definitely see its appeal. It's the name of a beautiful gemstone. Also, it has a spunky feel to it.

I like these combos (I feel these 3 names fit best with Ruby b/c they are old-fashioned like Ruby but are a little more strong and dignified so they offset the spunky Ruby well):

---

Agatha Ruby - I'm so glad to see that you like this name too. It's one of the old-fashioned names that has yet to be appreciated again. I think it's beautiful and a classic. It makes me think of a strong English lady such as Agatha Christie.
Susannah Ruby - Susannah is another beautiful, old-fashioned name. You can't go wrong with it and you can picture it on a person of any age.
Sylvia Ruby - Sylvia is a warm, old-fashioned name that I feel should be used more often.

I've never been crazy about Ruby and don't really have any love for the name.
Susannah Ruby is the best of your combos.

Sorry...

---

but I hate it too. It is the one name that just completely strikes me wrong and I don't know why, as I just said in another post.
If I was to pick one of your combos, though, I'd say Susannah Ruby, though Lucinda Ruby sounds good together too.

Twila Ruby is best IMO. Honesty? I think of a showgirl/stripper when I see the name Ruby, sorry, however it is pretty.

I like Ruby Minerva. ^.^ (If you don't get it, check out my post below this one.)

---

Anyway, I like:
Agatha Ruby
Claudia Ruby

---

The others don't seem to flow the right way, IMO.

I like Ruby. It's spunky. Of your combos, I like Susannah Ruby the best. The names fit well together style-wise and it has the best flow.
