Help please! We have a DS called Reuben James and just cannot decide on a name for our second son.. names we like but just don’t feel like they are the one are…

  • Theo
  • Teddy
  • Caleb
  • Bodhi
  • Spencer
  • Jesse
  • Henry
  • Luca
  • Freddie

Any thoughts or suggestions welcome please! Surname is one syllable so ideally want a two syllable name.

Thanks in advance!

Reuben and ……..

The names on your list don’t ‘go’ with Reuben , which is strong, classy, classic and biblical. Except Caleb, which is great! Bodhi for example is really trendy, Teddy and Theo too cutesy and nickname-y.

I love Reuben with:
Seth
Jonah
Nathaniel
Silas
Jude
Benjamin
Thomas
Felix
Jasper/Casper
Cassian/Cassius

Monty or Bertie would have been our boys' names (we has 2 girls!)

Arthur
Remy
Brody
Beau (not 2 syllable but fits the vibe of your other names)

Jonah is the first thing that comes to mind, biblical but we'll known, has a softer feel to it like Luca

Ezra could be another option
