I thought I'd settled on Jude, but ds is due a week tomorrow and I'm having last minute doubts Confused

Dh and I both like Jude too, I'm just a bit worried he'll get called Judy at school Smile

What do you think sounds best?

Reuben, I really love this, it's a wonderfully strong name with lots of character, and is my favourite by a long way.

Not at all keen on Jude though.

Reuben

I prefer Reuben but I think Jude is better with Elodie.

Jude is much nicer I think!

Jude is great , reuben is awful.

Jude sounds great with your DCs name. and it's so uncommon that it's lovely.. i wanted to call DD Jude if she'd been a boy!!

Just realised my OP should have said we'd settled on Reuben! Blush

I know, and my friend has a dog called Ruby, but we hoped he'd get Roo, as in "little Roo" Smile

Dreadful spelling. It's not me it's the autocorrect!

We'll Reuben may get called Ruby so what's the better option if the two? I like both but prefer Reuben.
