I'm mum to a Reuben (name changed as I like to keep personal info as minimal on MN as poss) and have noticed it becoming more popular. I've loved it for years and never knew any growing up, but have a theory about why it's more popular now - I fell in love with it when I was about 14, listening to Joseph and His Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat on repeat. Perhaps all the Joseph fans are getting around to having kids now, hence the rise of the Reuben (and perhaps his brothers too)? If you're a mum to a Reuben (or another of the children of Israel) does this ring true?
