[Opinions] Re: BA and a name combo question
I love Ruth as a fn - it seems wasted as a mn - and I don't enjoy April at all, but as a mn it's easy to overlook.Ruth Margot would flow better than Margot Ruth, for what that's worth. I used to know a Ruth Margaret, and I prefer Margaret to Margot and just about anything to Margaux; now I know a Ruth Mary, which should be glorious but there's something that prevents me from being entirely in favour of it, and I don't know what it is. Syllables? Ruth Anne is fine; so are Ruth Alice and Ruth Antonia. Can't be that, then.

My problem with Ruth Mary would be that I'm not keen on the "th-m" transition (though I quite like Ruth Margaret just for the rhythm and the vibe) but if you like Ruth Margot I doubt it's that either. For me, both Ruth Margot and Margot Ruth flow nicely.
