Elijah and Reuben or Elijah and Hugo.
Elijah is my older son.
The middle name will be Alexander

so you think go with Hugo?
I know what you mean about the names being a bit Old Testament heavy. My daughters name isn't a biblical name so maybe hers would seem odd with two Hebrew names.
Hmmm.
I'm just concerned the family might pull a face at Hugo but it's non of their business really is it. Someone on MN described it as a posh antiques dealers name but I don't mind that connotation at all

Both Hugo Alexander and Reuben Alexander sound good.

Elijah and Reuben is a bit Old Testament heavy. ds was friends with an Elijah with a big brother Solomon. I assumed the family were very religious (Protestant or Jewish) although they weren't so you might want to be aware that combo it might create that impression.
