65 replies

Pretty set on the name Reuben with the nickname Rue but struggling to find a name for his twin sister. So far narrowed down to:

Elina nn Ellie/Elle
Emilia nn Emi
Rosalie nn Rose/Rosie
Theadora nn Thea

any other suggestions are welcome too

Swede?! I’m trying to work out what this could be a typo for 😂

I like Thea.
also Cara, Charlotte (Lottie), Leah

Not a typo. Literary reference as a break from the 80% theological references. 😊

Also I think it’s- forgive me- quite sweet.

@FoFanta I am! But was thinking of the Grateful Dead 😁

Great song either way, but I prefer Will's version. 😎

Reuben and Zara
Reuben and Laura

I have b/g twins - Reuben and Eden…

Both names are two syllables and the endings of the names are similar, so I think they go nicely together x

Changing the spelling from Reuben to Rue will surely be confusing?? I love the name though

I have a Marcus who I always refer to as Marky... I felt weird using the k when writing it at first but if I didn't it would change it to a soft 'c'. I hadn't anticipated it til the first time I went to write it lol!

Plonkdropdown · 01/08/2023 23:58

Parker.

Housefullofcatsandkids · 01/08/2023 23:55

I have a Reuben which I shorten to Reubs.
My twins are Amber and Marcus. Other girls' names on my list were Libby, Francesca and Connie. I found it so hard to choose a girl's name, my three boy's names were easy lol!

Rue and Emi! I think with Rue, it could quite quickly veer into kids cartoon territory (eg Rosie and Roo) but I think these go well together. I like that the nicknames are both three letters and the full names sound nice together.

CherryCokeFanatic · 01/08/2023 23:41

Nevaeh? it’s heaven spelt backwards
