Is Rueben a criminal's name?

[AnnaBanananana]

loved it, googled it (specifically combined with our fairly common surname), its all convictions for robberies and violent crimes

is it a thug's name?

I think in Hebrew it means something like 'behold: a son' - right?

Gabriel, Reuben and Ezra are my favourite boys names, in that order :)

I know lots of Kiwi & Aussie Reuben's... Lovely name!

Yes, Molotov - ours is number 4 after three girls - it seemed appropriate!

Haha Eruvande we have 2 girls so I totally understand your perspective!

Ruben is the Hispanic spelling..... Would avoid the eu/ue complication.

"I think in Hebrew it means something like 'behold: a son' - right?" yes or unexpected son, which is cool because everyone was convinced we'ld have a girl! So we kinda like that it means "nope! its a boy! so there!"

I prefer the old testament spelling to the spanish one as we don't have any spanish roots and we all have old testament names and are christians

no complication twonker I spell very simple words arseways sometimes when I type, its Reuben my brain just rearranged the words cause it's a bit wonky!

I have a Reuben, he's 8, very lovely and so far not showing any criminal tendencies! His nn is Roo or Rooly (just by me, no one else shortens his name yet)

Makes me think of Rubén González from Buena Vista Social Club - very cool name IMHO.

oh that's a good one, I love buena vista social club

I love Reuben. It was on my shortlist.

Great name. It's no more a criminal's name than any other name

The only one I've heard of is the one in the Hurrican by Bob dylan. And he was innocent.

We do know a baby called Reuben. It's a lovely name.

hurricane, sorry, God awful typing

I know one.

He picks the litter at McDonalds, as far as I know he is not a criminal.

Does it really matter?
Both your dc have the surname of a criminal.

I googled my son's name and a murderer came up. No relation!
