Sorry, really dislike both names. Yet to meet a boy with either name that I've genuinely liked.

LorelaiVictoriaGilmore · 16/06/2017 21:51

Really like Rupert!

chinlop · 16/06/2017 21:54

Reuben = cool!

Rupert = horrible!

Sophronia · 16/06/2017 21:54

Reuben

mummytobemaybe · 16/06/2017 22:10

Reuben definitely, Rupert is absolutely horrific

Sunnyside90 · 17/06/2017 04:05

Rupert is so cute. Both lovely names x

SuperBeagle · 17/06/2017 07:31

Reuben.

Don't like Rupert for a person at all. Great name for a dog or bear though.

They are both awful, but Reuben marginally less so.

Mrsknackered · 17/06/2017 07:35

Reuben!

chipsnmayo · 17/06/2017 07:39

Reuben, lovely name.

Rupert is a bit, erm, pretentious...

GoneDownhill · 17/06/2017 10:21

I'm not a fan of either but Reuben is better than Rupert

GoneDownhill · 17/06/2017 10:22

Wow, some posters are really rude with their replies. I'm 'not a fan' of the names but don't feel the need to be pointlessly rude about them.

GeillisTheWitch · 17/06/2017 10:24

Reuben.

NormaSmuff · 17/06/2017 10:26

Reuben

NormaSmuff · 17/06/2017 10:27

otoh Reuben is fairly popular. Rupert would also be good instead

blahthisistoohard · 17/06/2017 10:46

Reuben! Rupert is an awful name, sorry

29Palms · 17/06/2017 12:04

I like Rupert, but Robert is probably more user-friendly.

I don't care for Reuben. It's likely to get shortened to Rube or Ruby. Or Rubes.
