Rubilea
I helped someone the other day at work named Rubilea. I'm trying to work out exactly how it would be pronounced since she likes to go by Ruby and didn't say her full name. Anyways, what do you think of it??

Roo-billy-uh? Ruby-Leah?
Hope it's not the first, it sounds like bilious. Ew.

Makes me think of rubella (even if pronounced rubi-lee). Though I like Ruby and Lea.

I think it sounds pretty, but doesn't look great. I imagine it's pronounced Ruby-Leah or Ruby-Leia.

I'd pronounce it as if it were Ruby-Lea.As other people have said, my first thought was that it looks like rubella. It also contains the word bile.

Ruby Lee or Ruby Leah. I'd guess Ruby Lee. I can't say it appeals to me in the least, looks like Rubella.

I hope it's Ruby Lee. But I'm not optimistic. It looks like a disease.

Yes, it's too close to Rubella.
