Gwendolen/ Gwendolyn is a top favorite of mine! It has a musical quality to it. Guendoloēna was a legendary queen of the Britons, and Gwendoloena (Gwendolyn) was the wife of Merlin in Geoffrey of Monmouth's Life of Merlin. The historical and mythological background give the name depth and a touch of magic for me.

Mara is beautiful but a little sad perhaps because of the meaning. I'm not fond of Ruby.
