Girl Name - What Do You Think?

We have narrowed down our girl name choices, but would like some feedback from you! It's very important to me to choose a name that has family significance. Our DD is Madeline Danielle. Her name comes from my side of the family. Would really like the next baby to at least have a MN from DH's side. I'll list our first name choices and middle name options. Please let me know which first name you like best and which middle name you think pairs well with it, if any. I have yet to fall in love with any of the middle names.
First name:
Lydia (my grandmother's name)
Evelyn (my great-grandmother's name)
Ruby (I've just always loved this name)
Middle name:
Ann
Marie
Kathryn
Kate
Kathryn Elaine is another first and middle name option after both of our mothers. I would only use these names together. Also, I prefer the spelling of Katherine, but DH's mom spells it Kathryn. Do you think we would need to stick with Kathryn? She actually goes by Kathy if that makes any difference.
Thank you so much!

If you go with Katherine I'd avoid the y. Could you talk to your mil to see what she thinks? Maybe she's always hated the spelling or something?!
(love the name Lydia!)
worry too much about "flow." (Check out this article on middle names: https://www.babynamewizard.com/archives/2016/4/the-middle-name-illusion )

I do like the name Kathryn just fine, just prefer Katherine a little more. I also felt it shouldn't be changed if you're honoring someone, but wanted to know if that was everyone else's opinion as well. Thanks for the feedback!
