Ruth is gorgeous! I have a particular partiality to the nickname Ruthie, don't ask me why.

---

I love the combination Ruth Penelope :D

I too love the name Ruth, for all the reasons you mentioned. The story of Ruth in the Bible is one of my favourite stories. Ruth Julia doesn't seem to flow all that well imo. Ruth Alice is alright, quite cute and I love the name Alice. Here are some more combo suggestions:

---

Ruth Sophie / Ruth Sophia
Ruth Emily
Ruth Amelie
Ruth Heidi
Ruth Natalie
Ruth Phoebe
Ruth Alana
Ruth Matilda
Ruth Ava
Ruth Olivia
Ruth Lydia
Ruth Alexandra
Ruth Jemima
Ruth Natasha
Ruth Freya
Ruth Isabelle
Ruth Ariel
Ruth Charlotte
Ruth Megan
Ruth Evelyn
Ruth Madeleine
Ruth Jasmine
Ruth Autumn
Ruth Miriam

Classic name. Can be changed to Ruthie for a little girl, and works at every age. I don't think Ruth Julia and Ruth Alice have very good flows.

---

I prefer:

---

Ruth Margaret
Ruth Eliana
Ruth Lauretta
Ruth Alexandra

Ruth Julia is nice. Ruth Alice doesn't appeal to me. Ruth Miranda? Ruth Mara?

My image of Ruth is usually sort of old and frumpy, but then I took a class from a biology professor named Ruth ... who is about my age and incredibly beautiful, smart, and sweet. So I think the old image doesn't matter at all. The name suited her really well. It's a very dignified, quiet femme name - "power name" as I like to say. Rue is one of my favorite sounds, too. Don't know that I really go for Ruthie, but the right woman or girl could wear it well.

Sorry, I really dislike the name Ruth because of bad associations.

---

Having said that, however, I think Ruth Marie and Ruth Elizabeth sound nice.

I love Ruth, but for some reason today all my combos place it as a mn.

---

Anna Ruth
Naomi Ruth

Ruth May

---

Ruth Rose
couple of ideas might sound a little ryhmie

Ruth = ♥.

---

I'll admit that I rather wish I could say that my first association was the Ruth of the Bible, who was a wonderful woman, but it's not. Three guesses as to who is, and the first two don't count. ^^;;;

---

I love Ruthie, too. Too cute; Ruthie Snow is one of my lesser favourites among double names.

---

Ruth Julia and Ruth Alice are both fine, but neither is jumping out at me as the perfect combo. A few suggestions (I should hate to overwhelm you):

---

Ruth Claudia
Ruth Thomasine / Ruth Thomasin / Ruth Thomasina / Ruth Tamsin / Ruth Tomasa
Ruth Helena / Ruth Helen
Ruth Antonia / Ruth Antonelle / Ruth Antonella
Ruth Penelope / Ruth Parnassia / Ruth Perpetua / Ruth Persephone / Ruth Pandora / Ruth Petronella
Ruth Gloria
Ruth Winifred
Ruth Caroline
