What type of name is Reuben?

[Tuschinski]

As in would you consider it chavvy/posh/nerdy/trendy etc based on people you know with the name?

I don't know as it's not popular where I live, I don't know any, of any age.

I would say reasonably popular, but not super common yet.

Maybe a little uninspired, kind of trendy, as in, it's pretty popular at the moment, but not ridiculously trendy like Tycho.

It's a nice name but there are suddenly loads of them. It's the new Noah/Elijah/Joshua/Ethan.

If you look at the names that dated from our generation - a lot of them were biblical.. Mark, Paul, Jason, David, Jeremy, Jordan, Michael etc.

Just an observation! People think that because a name is Biblical, it's timeless which is not the case.

Trendy.

I like it. I don't think it belongs to any particular class. I've heard it described as Jewish before.

I reckon it's in the same category as Ethan, Josh, Ella, Ruby etc.

It's a Jewish name. I love it

I think quite trendy, i dont find it either chavvy or posh, i think it seems like either quite funky/fashionable or jewish (or both maybe!) i only know one toddler called it although i think ive come across others @ times, but i dont think its extremely popular although may be on the way to becoming more popular.

I love it. I know of only one, and he's 5. Pretty cool name I think.

I went to school with a Reuben ( I'm 35 ), I know a 10 year old Reuben, and my 4 month old nephew is called Reuben. All from very different walks of life. Possibly my nephew is named this from a slightly chavvy perspective (SIL's influence, miaaoow!)

Chavvy if you're not Jewish.

I think that Reuben lives in a rural area.

Reuben is either lives on a farm and wears outdoor gear or in a very tastefully decorated countryside manor and wears Boden.

Reuben's siblings would be Theo, Noah and Violet or Juliet, maybe Rufus. The mother shops at Waitrose.

To me it is not chavvy, but is of the moment and may date.

To me it's a very Jewish name... I am always a bit when I hear children called Reuben who are not jewish heritage... though not sure why when I think about it- there are a lot of Adams, Noahs, Joshuas around, all Old Testament names too.

but 'Tycho' made me laugh!

I always remember Paxo mispronouncing Tycho Brahe on university challenge...

The Theos I know have siblings Jayden and Kai, and to me, Noah's very much a Josh type name. Nice names but most certainly not posh!

Jewish friends wouldn't use it

Timeless and classless imo; also name of amazing ex bf. Phrooar. Sorry. .

What is the correct pronunciation for Tycho Brahe?

There seem to be at least 3 accepted pronunciations.

I love it. I don't think of it as particularly 'Jewish', but just a biblical Hebrew name. I like a lot of them- Aaron, Joseph, Rachel, Rebecca, Leah...

I reckon it's middle class sort of name. I don't think chavvy at all.

I would expect the family to be very religious.

I would expect the family to be very religious.

posh, for this area anyway

lovely name

I really like it. Some bible names like Elija and Noah are a bit too much for me, but Reuben seems a bit more grounded imo. It won't date to the same extent.

It's not a Jewish name. It's equally an old testament name. Are all the Bens out there Jewish?

I know a girl called Rueben.

I also think of the film 'Reuben Reuben' with Tom Conti, I think. And a big dog. And a dentist.

It's the most perfect baby boy name on the planet, ever
