I love the name (my dog is called Ruby!)

You are aware that it was the second most popular name last year? So htere will be a billion Rubys in her class in all probability

I love the name Ruby but a friend got there first. I know it is very popular now but I only know of one so it depends on your area. Go for it..
My other faves are

Abby
Amy
Phoebe
Isabel
Layla
Lydia
Caitlyn

Every other girl here is called Ruby, those that arent called Grace anyway. It is the female equivalent of Jack. If her being one of 7 or so in the class doesnt bother you go for it - its a nice name just that everyone else thinks so too!
