Elliot or Reuben?

[CharliesBaby]

Thank you

Elliot

Reuben

Ruben.

Why Ruben?

Looks neater somehow!!

Elliot

I like Reuben and Ruben.

But I think I'd presume some... "continental" background if I met somebody named Ruben.

I like Reuben it's on our list

Reuben

I like both but every second boy is called Reuben around here!

Elliot. There are fewer of them. I like the look of Reuben but it always make me think of "rue the day".

Elliot, I think it has more of a timeless quality if that makes sense

Elliot

Can't stand Reuben

Reuben, great name.

Reuben

Can't stand Elliot

Definitely Elliot. Not a fan of Rueben at all.

Elliot

Elliot sounds like a weak name to me. And it will always be spelled wrongly (2 Ls 2Ts, 1L 1T etc etc).

Reuben is much better.

FWIW I know brothers with these names.

Love Elliot and want it for my ds (pregnant) but my oh is not a fan unfortunately.

Elliot.

I wanted to DS1 Elliot, but DH wouldn't agree. He wouldn't let me call DS2 Elliot either

Reuben is a sandwich.

Here Reuben Sandwich

Elliot sounds like a weak name to me

Me too. I think it's very weak.

Reuben by miles, though there is nothing particularly wrong with Elliot.

Reuben! Or Ruben. Either spelling.
I think it's beautiful and I actually don't know any.

Both lovely names I see your predicament picking between the two
