I like Hazel and Ruby. As a subset, I imagine them belonging to 3 90-yo sisters...

I think it sounds too corny as a sibset. They are fine separately. Ruby Clementine is okay, but I'm not a fan of Clementine.

They're corny, but in a nice way. They work fine.
Ruby Clementine: nah. The flow is good but it sounds like a miniature blood-orange.

I love it. Violet is one of my favourite names and I also like Hazel and Ruby. Personally I don't find them corny and believe they work well together. Ruby Clementine is additionally a great combo, adorable.

Actually, actors Emily Blunt and John Krasinski have two daughters named Hazel and Violet! I wonder if they'd consider Ruby for their next daughter (if they'll have one, of course).I don't mind if siblings' names follow a certain theme (in Hazel, Violet and Ruby's case that would be vintage, color and nature). It's more distracting if the names look/sound too similar, for example Emma, Emily and Emmeline.As for the question about Ruby Clementine, I prefer Clementine Ruby.

I think they are different enough to work a free, a flower / colour and a gemstone. If I was to get rid of one and replace with a none themey name it would be Violet (just because I know quite a few) but you wouldn't need to. Hazel is my favourite and I love the sound and imagery of Ruby Clementine but it does also sound a bit like a brand of oranges.
What about Hazel, Clementine and Ruby?

Violet and Ruby go together fine. They're both nature names but one is a plant and one is a gemstone so I don't think they're too corny together. Hazel doesn't fit with them though. Both Violet and Ruby are sort of jewel-toned, polished type names while Hazel is more wild, witchy, and "brownish" / "natural".

I think it's rather cute.I don't really like Clementine, but it flows well with Ruby and it would be a middle name, so why not?

It took me a moment to figure out why they'd be corny. I think that's because I associate Hazel and Violet with plants and Ruby wth a gemstone before I associate any of them with colors. So it doesn't bother me. And I think the average non-namenerd would find it cute more than corny if they catch it.I like all three names, and therefore like the set.Ruby Clementine is nice. Clementine isn't a favorite of mine but the flow and style is good.

I do think they'd be pretty corny. In isolation though they are all serviceable names, so it's not as though you're descending into "must have a theme at all costs" territory.Ruby Clementine sounds nice. It has good flow, but it's almost sugary sweet and sounds like a new crossbred citrus.

Adorable sister-set! Ruby Clementine is adorable, also. I can see Hazel, Violet, and Ruby as triplets!
