First name definitely Reuben, but which of these as a middle- dh and I can't decide and I don't want to discuss it with anyone else in RL! Please add any suitable alternative suggestions for us!
Reuben Jude
Reuben Arthur
Reuben Spencer
Reuben George
Reuben Isaac
Am sure there are so many more nice middle names but this gives you an idea of what we like!

What letter does the last name start with? E.g. Reuben Arthur Thomson = RAT... child will not forgive that...
Last name starts with a C; it never occurred to me to think about initials! Thanks for that
I like Arthur, what about William?
Reuben Jude is a bit rhymey.
I am surprising myself by liking Spencer best.
Good luck with Reuben's imminent arrival.

Reuben Isaac - I love Bible names! DS5 is Isaac, so I'll definitely vote for that 1st!
We have a nephew who is Reuben Jonathan, he 's a great kid, very smart!
other ideas:
Reuben Samuel
Reuben Aaron
Reuben Joshua
Reuben Daniel
Reuben Thomas
Reuben James
Reuben Matthew
Reuben Timothy
Reuben Elias
Reuben Jacob
all of these are in our family either as first or middle names, so well used and well loved!
Reuben Jonah
Reuben Emanuel
Reuben Titus
Reuben Malachi

RAC.... Reuben Arthur C.
I like Reuben Spencer.. is Spencer a family name you are passing on? I like the idea of using names that are in the family already too. All the best for the birth!

out of your list I like Reuben George - surprisingly as I don't really like George ..... 
Not overfond of Reuben, sorry - but it is way better than Spencer.

How many syllables is your last name, and which syllable has the stress on it?
I like Reuben George best

Isaac! Lovely combination.
Our yet to be conceived DS has been named Reuben for the last 5 years! It's a family name & I adore it. A little miffed that it seems to be getting quite popular on here lately tbh! Of your list I prefer George closely followed by Isaac. Our DS will be Reuben William after his dad. DD is only 8 weeks old so may be some time before he arrives! Good luck and congratulations. :-)

Don't want to throw a spanner in the works but my brother's first name begins with R and surname with C and he was nicknamed RC all through school which quickly became 'arsey' and caused a fair bit of upset. Also my bil's initials are W.C so do think very carefully about initials!
Honestly I disagree about initials. Nobody cares what initials you have. Maybe it's just where I'm from but seriously nobody cared.
My initials are R A M. So ram like a sheep or i.t. Seriously I think sometimes people over think this. I like Isaac.
