Hate both and think the replies show one of the main problems with Reuben. People can't bloody spell it.

Rupert is beyond godawful though so Reuben wins.

Mothervulva · 16/06/2017 16:02

Reuben at a push.

Orangebird69 · 16/06/2017 16:03

Both awful. Rupert is the less offensive of the two.

Really like Rupert. May be embarrassed calling for Rupert in the playpark though.

ThroughThickAndThin01 · 16/06/2017 16:08

Love Rupert.

Dislike Reuben.

Reuben. Rupert is a foppish, red-trousered, croquet-playing kind of a name, for me. Gets called Roops by his hearty friends.

OliveSoap · 16/06/2017 16:09

Admittedly, a Reuben is also a type of sandwich.

AdaColeman · 16/06/2017 16:12

I like them both, but Reuben just wins for me as I had a lovely uncle with that name.

Sierra259 · 16/06/2017 16:13

Reuben, definitely!

n0ne · 16/06/2017 16:19

Oo, toughie! Love them both. I every so slightly prefer Rupert. I think.

grufallosfriend · 16/06/2017 16:20

I love them both too!
