I would agree with the PP that Ava, while very pretty, is just too popular. The flower/gem name trend and the old-fashioned names are so strong right now that nobody is going to wonder "what were they thinking?". And don't worry, Ruby does not even remotely sound like a stripper. I may watch too much T.V., but isn't
Between Ruby and Ava, Ruby wins by a landslide because Ava is so popular.
