Ah sorry op. I assumed you just chose the name because you liked it, as so many people do! Hadn't realised it was a family name.

In that case I'd vote for Reuben Noah Smile.

@Decaffstilltastesweird - yes, but the middle name will be Noah. Who cares how it sounds? No one is going to say them together. Noah is my deceased dad's name, so it's very important to me.

Edward! My favourite name!

Decaffstilltastesweird · 19/06/2017 14:36

I'd cheekily vote for Reuben Edward as I don't like the way the ns run into each other with Reuben Noah. Sounds like reubenoah.

Edward - more choices for a NN.

sidonie1 · 19/06/2017 13:29

Both are lovely, but Edward seems more timeless to me. Love the nn potential too.

MammieBear · 19/06/2017 10:55

I have an Edward so obviously that's my choice. Lots of good nickname possibilities as well if you wish.

I think Edward Noah sounds best

Edward - much prefer it and think it goes better with Noah.

Theveryhungrybutterfly · 19/06/2017 08:45

Reuben runs badly into Noah because of the two ns next to each other, so probably Edward, although it's quite popular at the moment?

Sugarpiehoneyeye · 19/06/2017 02:12

Reuben.

@buttercup54321 - the middle name is Noah; that won't be changing Smile

Edward. It's a classic and a much more versatile name.

AguacateMaduro · 18/06/2017 23:45

Oh i love Reuben!

buttercup54321 · 18/06/2017 23:45

Edward Reuben. Don't like Noah.

AguacateMaduro · 18/06/2017 23:44

Edward
