Max or Reuben

[Zozo1982]

Baby has arrived but we can't decide between Max and Reuben. Older sister is Zoe. What do you think? Is one more timeless than the other?

@ajandjjmum, my Max is early teens and (so far) still loves his name.
We have 5 boys and 4 have the shortened version of their names on their birth certificates. The oldest has the full version on his BC but is known** by everyone by the short version (apart from one grandparent who insists on using the full version which he hates but he would never say to her but yet she knows!)
That is the reason why the younger boys all have the shortened versions.

Our son is Maxim, but we call him Max. The childminder nick named him Hurricane Max. Apparently babies Max are hyper active .

Not sure where you are but here in London those are 2 of the most popular names for boys under 4 - come across them everywhere. So both have become very run of the mill- depends how bothered about this you are.
