Warmest congratulations, @eboges!
You’re right that [name_f]Alice[/name_f] is highly compatible with [name_f]Clara[/name_f] and [name_f]Lucy[/name_f].
[name_f]Alice[/name_f], [name_f]Claire[/name_f] and [name_f]Lucy[/name_f] are what Nameberry refers to as “core classic” names – the most timeless of timeless names.
Here are more “core classic” names:
[name_f]Caroline[/name_f], [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f], [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f], [name_f]Emma[/name_f], [name_f]Grace[/name_f], [name_f]Josephine[/name_f], [name_f]Julia[/name_f], [name_f]Margaret[/name_f], [name_f]Rose[/name_f].
[name_f]Alice[/name_f] doesn’t feel bland to me, it sounds sweet. And I agree that [name_f]Alice[/name_f] fits best with [name_f]Clara[/name_f] and [name_f]Lucy[/name_f]!
I think [name_u]Ruby[/name_u] is different enough that you should use it if it’s your favorite, unless you believe it’s really going to continually bother you.
[name_f]Alice[/name_f] and [name_f]Miriam[/name_f] are both lovely. I love the less common feel of [name_f]Miriam[/name_f], and I think it goes very well with [name_f]Lucy[/name_f] and [name_f]Clara[/name_f]. That would be my next vote. You can’t really go wrong with [name_f]Alice[/name_f], but I agree that it’s much less exciting than the other two.
Congrats!
All three are great choices but i like [name_f]Alice[/name_f] the most
[name_f]Alice[/name_f] fits the sibset the best.
[name_u]Ruby[/name_u] is a bit similar to [name_f]Lucy[/name_f].
That said, she’ll spend the majority of her life not in the same sentence as her siblings.
Both are good names.
Go with what you love, deep down.
[name_f]Alice[/name_f] does go well with the other 2 names, but I like the name [name_u]Ruby[/name_u] the most for sure! It is also a classic name that fits with the others. As for similarity, I know a [name_f]Hailey[/name_f] and [name_u]Bailey[/name_u] sibling subset and I dont think your names are like those at all. They sound different enough. If [name_u]Ruby[/name_u] is your favorite go for it! I get it though, I am really struggling to commit to my second child’s name as well. So many things to think of and so much self doubt!!
I adore all three! Seeing as your not too excited about [name_f]Alice[/name_f] I eliminated that. I agree [name_u]Ruby[/name_u] and [name_f]Lucy[/name_f] maybe a little too close (but still workable!) so I did eliminate [name_u]Ruby[/name_u]. So that leaves [name_f]Miriam[/name_f]! I think [name_f]Miriam[/name_f] works beautifully with [name_f]Clara[/name_f] and [name_f]Lucy[/name_f]. It’s not too popular but still known, and is such a sweet name :).
I chose [name_f]Alice[/name_f]. I think [name_u]Ruby[/name_u] is too close to [name_f]Lucy[/name_f], because they share the Y ending AND the U. [name_f]Miriam[/name_f] is not my style. [name_m]How[/name_m] about Cl@ra, [name_m]Luc[/name_m].y and…
[name_f]Jane[/name_f]
[name_f]Eliza[/name_f], [name_f]Elise[/name_f]
[name_f]Rose[/name_f]
[name_f]Margot[/name_f]
[name_f]Margaret[/name_f] - [name_f]Meg[/name_f]
[name_f]Mary[/name_f] [name_f]Alice[/name_f]
[name_f]Mary[/name_f] [name_f]Gwen[/name_f]
[name_f]Mary[/name_f] [name_f]Kate[/name_f]
[name_f]Suzanne[/name_f]
[name_f]Abigail[/name_f]
[name_f]Penelope[/name_f] - [name_f]Nell[/name_f]
I do agree that [name_f]Alice[/name_f] sounds just right with [name_f]Clara[/name_f] & [name_f]Lucy[/name_f], but that it is definitely pretty common. [name_f]Miriam[/name_f] is the real showstopper. I don’t think [name_u]Ruby[/name_u] is too similar to [name_f]Lucy[/name_f] to rule it out, but it might be similar enough to make [name_f]Clara[/name_f] feel like it doesn’t quite fit the pattern. [name_f]Clara[/name_f], [name_f]Lucy[/name_f], & [name_f]Miriam[/name_f] have a sweetly vintage vibe together.
Plus, honoring her grandfather, [name_m]Jim[/name_m], with the nickname would be so special. So my vote goes to [name_f]Miriam[/name_f]. 
I agree that [name_f]Alice[/name_f] goes the best with big sisters’ names but I also think it’s boring. I think [name_u]Ruby[/name_u] is adorable but too close to [name_f]Lucy[/name_f]. I voted for [name_f]Miriam[/name_f] bc I love that name.
I’d also suggest [name_f]Rose[/name_f], [name_f]Eve[/name_f], [name_f]Ada[/name_f], and [name_u]June[/name_u] as I feel you might like those better and they fit well with [name_f]Lucy[/name_f] and [name_f]Clara[/name_f].
[name_f]Clara[/name_f], [name_f]Lucy[/name_f], & [name_u]June[/name_u]
[name_f]Clara[/name_f], [name_f]Lucy[/name_f], & [name_f]Hazel[/name_f]
[name_f]Clara[/name_f], [name_f]Lucy[/name_f], & [name_f]Mabel[/name_f]
[name_f]Clara[/name_f], [name_f]Lucy[/name_f], & [name_f]Rose[/name_f]
[name_f]Clara[/name_f], [name_f]Lucy[/name_f], & [name_f]Mae[/name_f]
[name_f]Clara[/name_f], [name_f]Lucy[/name_f], & [name_f]Josephine[/name_f]
i pretty much agree with the consensus: i love [name_u]Ruby[/name_u], but it’s too close to [name_f]Lucy[/name_f], and [name_f]Alice[/name_f] for sure fits the best with her sisters.
if you’re not in love with [name_f]Alice[/name_f], definitely don’t make that your choice. maybe look into similar-sounding names, like [name_f]Elise[/name_f] or [name_f]Isla[/name_f], or names related to [name_f]Alice[/name_f]? it’s related to [name_f]Adelaide[/name_f], [name_f]Adele[/name_f], etc. something along those lines may feel like a better fit than [name_f]Alice[/name_f]!
of your three, my choice would for sure be [name_f]Miriam[/name_f]. it’s a little old and stuffy to some people but i think it’s so so cute. best of luck!
