The only Theodore I know is from Prison Break. T-bag. Wentworth Miller is deeeelish!

1 Reuben aged about 2
I don't know any Theo but have heard it shouted in parks

I once knew a rabbit called Reuben. I can't think of any people with either name. My daughter is nearly 13 so not in any baby circles anymore so have no idea if these are names getting fashionable.

Lilmy3 · 01/07/2017 17:36

I know 2 Reubens, aged 10 and 20.

I don't know any Theodore's, but I've come across a lot. Not sure how many, most with the nickname Teddy

1 newborn Theodore
1 Reuben age 24

No Theo's and 3 Reubens all age 4 (one is mine, one lives at the other end of the country and the other is spelt Ruben and is from Chile.)

daisypond · 01/07/2017 12:10

None of either.

jumpybluespider · 01/07/2017 11:52

4 Theos & 3 Reubens. All under 10.

Lulue45 · 01/07/2017 10:10

There are lots and lots of little Teddys around here ATM, which I'm presuming is short for Theodore? I know one stand alone Theo. All are under one. I know two Reubens-one 12 and one newborn x

HearTheThunderRoar · 01/07/2017 10:10

I know no Theo's ( I'm not in the baby circles though).

have meet about half a dozen Rubens over the years, all would be secondary / late primary age.

YerAWizardHarry · 01/07/2017 08:54

None of either (in Scotland if that makes a difference)

bluechameleon · 01/07/2017 08:53

Three Theodores- one is nearly 3, one is about 18m and the other is 5 or 6. Two go by Theo and one by Teddy. I don't currently know any Reubens. I taught one years ago who would be about 20 now.

17caterpillars1mouse · 01/07/2017 08:10

I know 2 Theo's and 2 Teddy's. Teddy is short for Theodore but the Theo's are just Theo

I know 2 Reuben's but hear it alot in the park also

My DS (2yo) is Reuben. I also know a Reuben aged 24 and another aged 1.

Wsix · 01/07/2017 07:14

I know 4 Theo's under 16.
There is one Reuden in one of my kid's class. He's from an evangelical family. It sounds v religious to my ear.

WhirlwindHugs · 01/07/2017 07:06
