I of course mean Rueben. Was typing quickly, but you can spell both ways actually

You can but it just makes the child look like his parents can't spell.
Reuben, Ruben or Rubin are ok.

🤣 there are several ways to spell Reuben, and this is one of them.

Why are you laughing? Reuben is fine, but she wrote Rueben in the post.

Henry because you misspelt Reuben.

There's a fair few of both coming up through reception at the mo.

Henry is easier for the world to spell ....

Henry, especially if even you can’t spell the other.
