Re: Ruby
in reply to a message by Red robin
I like the idea of Ruby (because of the pretty gemstone) more than the actualy name. The back-of-the-throat ru-/rube- sound turns me off. Also, the word “rube” is really unflattering, and “Ruby” sounds like a nn for somebody who is one.
If somebody were to use it, I could see these middle names sounding okay with it:
Ruby Alexandra
Ruby Alice
Ruby Andromeda
Ruby Camille
Ruby Cecilia
Ruby Celeste
Ruby Davina
Ruby Francesca
Ruby Isidora
Ruby Jane
Ruby Lavinia
Ruby Leandra
Ruby Margaret
Ruby Maud
Ruby Millicent
Ruby Ovidia
Ruby Perdita
Ruby Tabitha
Ruby Theodora
Ruby Verena
