Yes, it's considered an old lady name by many but I love it! It was my great-aunt's name and I always thought it was cool. It is starting to recover in popularity after being super popular in ~1895-1930s, which I think is great!
I've known a couple of Ruth people in South Africa who were born in the 1940s. I also know one who was born at the cusp of the 1970s and 1980s: her names are Ruth Mary. I'd happily use Ruth myself; I see it as classic rather than dated.
