I would be so delighted to meet a sib set with these names. I love all three. Would use Harriet and Martha in a heartbeat. I would use Ruth too as it was my grandmothers name but my sister used it as a middle name for her daughter.

I still think you could use Ruth, even with the niece's middle name. There are so many Alices and Alberts in my family (first and middle names), and it's never been a problem.

My family uses my nieces full name a lot. My mother always calles her by her full name. And I've brought it up a couple times about loving Ruth and putting it in combos and although my sister didn't say anything I got the feeling she wouldn't like it if I used it. Its no big deal though.

I feel like if you have a Martha and a Harriet, you almost have to have a Ruth, but Ann is nearly as consistent. I'd spell it without the e in this instance.

Ruth Ellen
Ruth Emmeline
Ruth Emily
Ruth Abigail
Ruth Adelaide
Ruth Adeline
Ruth Evangeline
Ruth Eleanor

I think I like Ruth Emmeline/Emily the most.
