How Ruby sounds
A two-syllable name, Ruby has a steady beat that sits well with a one- or two-syllable surname. The last sound of Ruby is a vowel, so the name fades out gently instead of stopping. An earth sound runs through Ruby: calm, firm and sure of itself. Year after year Ruby appears at a steady pace in U.S. birth records, a dependable middle path. Most people named Ruby in U.S. birth records are girls.
The Saju view
Because Ruby begins with T, D, N, L or R, the system counts its first sound as fire, and the first sound weighs double. In Saju, Ruby carries fire. That makes it a natural choice for charts where fire is the thinnest of the five elements. Ruby supports earth from behind: its fire sound is the traditional source of that element. Charts crowded with fire tend to look elsewhere, as the fire sound of Ruby would tip the balance further.

The astrology view
In astrology an earth-sounding name like Ruby is a close match for Taurus, Virgo and Capricorn, and a supportive one for Cancer, Scorpio and Pisces. Ruby is a less natural fit for fire and air signs, whose elements differ from its earth sound.
