Reuben

[Layl77]

So I like Reuben for ds1 and with it not being top 10 even better ( the only others we both like are George and James, top 10ish and I don't like them enough) I wondered if its going up in popularity as I've heard two Reubens recently. Don't know if that's just as I'm expecting a boy!

I've got a Robin. The only one I know!

It's definitely getting popular.

Nice name. It might end up shortened to Ruby, though.

I like Reuben.

growing in popularity, I've heard 2 recently.

Love it, also like Reuven.

I looked at 2009/10 it was 56th then 2012 60th . I also like Sebastian and Lucas

I like Reuben. Lovely name. I'd pick it over Sebastian.

My ds middle name is Reuben, we couldn't decide between two names so we just used both, he is diffidently his first name though, it is weird to think what if we named him that instead

Sorry dislike Reuben and Sebastian find them a bit trendy and try hard . Love James and like George .

Trendy? Sebastian is a classic name surely?

Def. v. popular now. Oh, and my Reuben reckons it's lame to be named after a sandwich!

It's Old Testament so surely not trendy? And top 10 are surely trending names right now?

I have a Reuben who is 9. I've only met a couple of others. Obviously I think it's a great name! And he's never been called Ruby by anyone. Only I shorten it - to Rooly or Roo.

Bible names can be trendy and date too. Think Jason, Mark and Paul! Reuben is very trendy right now along with Isaac, Joshua, Noah etc.

I love it! Also love Sebastien.

Have no idea about it's popularity - although I don't know any but I love love love it! Rueben James sounds really nice if you havnt got a middle name

2 Reubens in my DD's Yr1 class. Lovely name and probably getting more popular - I think it was on our long list if DD was a boy.

Reuben, yes,yes,yes!

I like Reuben. I know 2 little Reubens, aged 7 and 4. One sometimes gets called Reuby (pron Ruby...). May be becoming more popular.

How about Tristan, Quentin, Rowan or Robin as alternatives with a similar feel?
