Is the name Reuben common? How many Reuben’s do you know ?

One of twins, less than a year old.
He is the only one I know of though.

2 in my dc1's class at primary (Y4). I know a good few from working in secondary schools.

It isn't hugely popular though. At secondary I think the most common name might be Harry or Alfie and Reuben is nowhere near as popular as either of those.

Currently sitting at number 36 in England and Wales and is very much on the rise!

I don't know any personally however. You'd also have to factor in the registrations with the original Hebrew spelling of Reuven or other European spellings like Ruben (or even mispellings like Rueben!) to get a true picture.

I know a couple, but not common IMO

Not a name I’ve come across previously.
