Reuben is our front runner if the bump's a boy, but struggling a bit with middle names. Surname begins with O

At the minute we like
Reuben Ralph
Reuben Ray
Reuben Adam
Reuben Joseph

Any other suggestions/ thoughts?

Think Reuben Ray has a nice ring to it, think a one syllable middle name may be the way to go.
Perhaps Reuben Jay?

I know of a Reuben Alexander which I think is lovely

I think one syllable flows better. But not sure about Ray??

Reuben Ralph - Doesn't sound right, and too alliterative.
Reuben Ray - Alliterative.
Reuben Adam - Turns into Reube Nadam when I say it to myself (looking crazy). I think you need a middle name starting with a consonant.
Reuben Joseph - nice. Very biblical though, I would assume you were religious if I heard it, I think.

Prefer:
Reuben Mark
Reuben Lucas
Reuben Thomas
Reuben James

Ha, was going to suggest Jay as replacement Grin

Reuben James O

Sounds lovely... I'm thinking a one syllable middle name goes best with Reuben.
