It's Latin for red or reddish apparently, so it's as legit name-wise as Rufus or Sebastian (or any of the other gazillion names meaning red)

It's also like the very popular Reuben without actually being Reuben.... WHY am I justifying this? STOOPID hormones!

Pronounced Roo-bee-us?

Oh no, no, no.

Seriously, pregnancy hormones. It's happened to all of us. Grin

Don't listen to them!! I think it's great.

Though maybe go with Reuben if you dont want your child to have a 'Harry Potter' name
