Wow, there's a lot of hate for Rubye! Rubye was the 2nd middle name of my sister, Norma. I don't know why my parents decided to spell it as Rubye and not Ruby. I like the name Rubye, but many people hate and mispronounce it, which is a shame. I like Rubye :)
Awful, an alternate spelling to Ruby which at least would make some sense could be Rubie, but doesn't matter, Ruby is far better than any alternate spelling.
It always makes me think of rubbing one's eyes when it's spelled like this. So ugly. I like Ruby, though!

This spelling is an eyesore. It looks like it should be pronounced Roob-YEE or Roob-YEH, not ROOB-ee. I kind of like the alternate spelling Rubi, but Rubye just looks wrong.
I can't stand this name. It looks like the word ribeye, like a ribeye steak, combined with the word rub. Rub the ribeye. I don't think that's the best name in the world. Just stay simple, unexaggerated, and classic and stick with Ruby. The 'e' ruins it.
This is a more modern spelling of the name Ruby. I prefer Ruby, but Rubye is also great. However, I know a girl named Rubye and she says people always pronounce her name wrong!
