Rueben/Reuben/Ruben Which spelling would you use?

[lostindevon]

Hello All,
So baby is three days old and we've just decided on a name, but are now struggling with the spelling!
Any insights/considerations?

I love the way Ruben sounds, but not sure which spelling to go for,

Ruben
Reuben
Rueben

Reuben

Reuben - that's the Biblical spelling, the best known and the one most likely to be perceived as normal/correct.

Reuben - though DS has a Rubén in his class at school.

Rueben is just wrong.

Reuben is the usual spelling.

Ruben is ok but risks being mispronounced or muddled with other names.

So ... Reuben!

Congratulations on your lovely newborn! Do give him a good head-sniff from me

Definitely Reuben.

Also agree Reuben. Lovely name. Congratulations!

I'd say Reuben is the most obvious spelling and therefore I'd use that. Congratulations!!

Agree with Reuben. He won't have to tell everyone how to spell his name if you use that one.

Reuben - Lovely name and congrats!

Reuben

Definitely Reuben.

Not Rueben

Reuben. Lovely name OP

Reuben - because that is the correct spelling.

Congratulations!! Reuben - it's an Old Testament name and that's how it's spelt - why change it. Lovely boys name.

Reuben

Reuben.

Reuben. I have never seen the other spellings before so I think if you used them people might misspell a lot.

Reuben

Reuben

Reuben because that's the usual English spelling.

Rueben is a misspelling.

Ruben is the Hispanic spelling.

It'll get misspelled whichever you choose, so I'd go for whichever you prefer.

It'll get misspelled whichever you choose, so I'd go for whichever you prefer

Except that, as shown by this thread, 99% of people would spell it Reuben (the correct way). So it'll get misspelled much more if you spell it any other way.

Congrats! definitely Reuben

Reuben

My friends DS has this name, I think it's great! Congrats on your new squishy snuggly baby boy!
