He's gorgeous. He looks like a Samuel to me.

He's beautiful - congrats Flowers

I much prefer Alex to Alec. If you go with Alexander you'll have a choice of names such as Alex or Xander as another poster suggested.

He doesn't look like a Rueban!

Alexander Rueben and you can have Alex or Alec as a nickname. My husband is an Alexander and it's a fab name! I can't see him being called Rueben either - he would suit Benjamin more. He is so cute - congratulations!

Or:
Aidan
Christopher
Oliver
Thomas
Harry
Tobias (Toby)
Edward (Eddie)

...but actually, second thoughts he does look like a Sam (Samuel) he looks like he needs a soft sounding name!

Congratulations, he's gorgeous.

I think Samuel suits him. I also think he could be a Reuben.

Gorgeous! Historic day to be born Grin you could always go with something historically political like Edward (Heath - who was pm when we joined the eu) or obviously Boris Nigel springs to mind if you're of the other camp Grin huge congratulations, what a lovely thread amongst the many others sparked by events from yesterday, this surely has to be the best one! Hope it was a speedy happy delivery, and you're all doing well

Ps I do think he looks like a Reuben, and also like the Benjamin suggestion X

Alexander, nn Alec/x (I personally prefer Alec) would be cute :)

I agree with a previous poster, Samuel would be really cute as well.
What about Samuel Alec nn Alec?

An old work colleague had a DS yesterday too and called him Rueben so I think that name might suddenly be popular.
I suggest Lucien, Alexander, Theodore, or Nathaniel. Congratulations on your beautiful ds.

I prefer Reuben out of yours. He's adorable, looks like a James or Thomas to me.

I could imagine him being called a short and unusual name. Emil, maybe or Jem (short forJeremiah/Jeremy).
