I don't mind a feminine name.  Technically "Ruby" is a feminine name and I
like it.

I still don't like "Rubies", but for a different reason.  Rubies is the
plural of Ruby.  Thus, if we are Rubies, that means that I am a Ruby.  But
Ruby is already the name of the language, so it sounds akward.

Matz says we're rubyists.  I like the name.
