We still have a little while until we meet our boy but we are pretty much down to these two names. I know we might just make up our minds when we see him but just wanted a quick show of hands on these two names thanks!

Really not keen on Malachi. It's quite clunky to my ears! Reuben is much nicer.

I prefer Malachi too. Mostly because it is not as popular as Reuban right now.

I like both but I think I would go with Reuben.

Thanks all... Had been unsure whether Malachi was too 'Out there', but hearing you all choose it has made me realise I definitely prefer it to Reuben! And I want something unusual not too popular can't wait for him to come now

Malachi, much nicer.

Reuben is getting very popular. Go for Malachi if that bothers you.

Malachi. Reuben makes me think of the sandwich (possibly because I skipped lunch!)

Against the grain but I much prefer Reuben - really not keen on Malachi.

I like both actually but would probably go with Malachi.

Malachi, no question. Really dislike Reuben, doesn't sound nice at all to me.

Malachi without contest Ruebens are everywhere. It's a horrible name but it's also popular name and obviously popular for a reason .
Malachi is beautiful though. It makes me think of Malachi Mcourt from Angela's ashes
