Hi, still not decided on a name. Which do you prefer? Noah or Reuben, thanks. Grin

Noah

Noah.
Reuben is very popular around here.

Noah

Reuben

I'd say Reuben purely because Noah is so popular and Reuben so unusual. But they're both nice. Smile

They are both really popular. I prefer Reuben.

Reuben is definitely not unusual - I can think of about 5 under 5 off the top of my head.

Sorry, I stand corrected. Blush

Reuben is very unusual where I live, I've never met a Reuben of any age, adult or child. Whereas I know at least ten Noahs. Smile

Noah, such a lovely name

Rachel234561 · 29/11/2015 15:27

Don't get why people are saying don't choose it as it's popular. Surely you choose a name because you love it. Plus popular names are popular for a reason x

Definitely Reuben. Noah to me is a bit faddy.

DramaAlpaca · 29/11/2015 17:19

Reuben

celtictoast · 29/11/2015 18:06

I prefer Reuben. Noah is a bit moany sounding.

MirandaGoshawk · 29/11/2015 18:13

Prefer Reuben but I love OT names anyway not Abishag

3sugarsplease · 29/11/2015 18:22

Reuben Grin

kaymondo · 29/11/2015 22:30

Noah (but biased as I have one!). Both names pretty popular where I am.

2snugglets · 30/11/2015 10:52

Love Noah

Clawdy · 30/11/2015 16:52

Reuben. Lovely name.

IoraRua · 30/11/2015 17:53

Reuben = sandwich.
Noah, meh...I just know so many of them. Plus the fact that my German friend is so adamant it's a girls name puts me off.

PaintedTshirt · 30/11/2015 18:07

Both lovely but prefer Reuben. Neither are at all common where I live.
