Help us make our final decision. I love them both.
Already have DS George Andrew and DD Chantel Elizabeth.

Reuben Jack

squoosh · 09/02/2015 10:54

Reuben.

By a long, long, loooooooooooong way.

Sophronia · 09/02/2015 14:37

Reuben Jack.

Purpleflamingos · 09/02/2015 14:42

There's too much similarity in sound in Archie Robin so Reuben Jack for me.

CPtart · 09/02/2015 14:43

Reuben Jack.
Archie is not a nice name.

Purplehonesty · 09/02/2015 14:50

Archie is a lovely name but I don't like it with robin.
Reuben Jack or Archie john.

GingerLDN · 09/02/2015 18:39

Reuben Jack. Or Archie but not Archie Robin.

Thanks for your comments. Would really like Robin as middle name in memory of my Nan. Its so difficult making that final decision.

Robin is by far my favourite from those names. Would you contemplate it as a first name?

I would but OH not keen. Maybe I will have to work on that!!!
Although I'm not keen on it being shortened to Rob as first name.

Reuben Robin!

I strongly dislike Archie and Jack.

Chantal is a beautiful name, btw: your lucky DD.

Allalonenow · 09/02/2015 20:39

Reuben Jack by a long way.

shakemysilliesout · 09/02/2015 21:48

Robin please- id never call him rob. Robin is lovely.

Iliveinalighthousewiththeghost · 09/02/2015 21:49

Archie Robin. There are too many Ruebens now

ClementineAndCordelia · 09/02/2015 22:04

Either of them - they are both lovely . Ruben is a favourite of mine ( I like that spelling but we're all different ) and Robin is a lovely name too . Robin Archie ? If you want to honour your Nan's memory perhaps go for Robin if OH will agree. Good luck !

Smugnogplease · 09/02/2015 22:44

Years ago everyone here said Archie was lovely, now it's popular it's not nice anymore somehow , I love the name though.
Reuben is also a great name, bit due to popularity will be called horrid soon enough I'm sure.
My Archie is 11. He loves his name but we do call him Archibald a fair bit;)

reuset · 09/02/2015 23:21

Is he actually called Archibald on his birth cert, Smug? I like it regardless.

Think my favourite is Archie. As I said would like Robin as middle name for personal reasons.
OH threw Louie into the suggestions box last night which I also like. ??
And DS wants his new baby brother to be Jenson!!!! Its cool apparently

Louie Robin is nice. I just didn't like it with Archie, maybe because of the Rs in both

corgiology · 12/02/2015 22:59
