A sibling for Reuben

[MeggyD]

I am not someone who believes baby names must "go" perfectly together, but I'm struggling to find a name that DH and I love as much as Reuben and I thought one way to get some more inspiration is to ask for ideas about names which you think are a similar style to Reuben. (The theory being that we love the name Reuben so much that maybe we will love names of a similar style too! Clutching at straws maybe but worth a try!)

Thanks in advance X

Simeon, Levi, Naphtali, Issachar, Asher, Dan, Nebulen, Gad, Joseph, Benjamin

I’m missing one. Can anyone else remember the words?

I love Reuben. I know 4. One has a brother called Jonah. One has a brother called Joshua. One has 2 brothers called Noah and Isaac and one has a sister called Matilda. Names in a similar style I think are: Toby, Samuel, Ezra, Tabitha, Alice, Lois.

@sunnysomer

You've missed out Judah ("Benjamin and Judah, which leaves only one")

And it's Zebulon, not Nebulen.

Thank you that AtticaRose! Tim Rice has a lot to answer for, I’m sure it’s 40 years since I last sang that!

For girls how about Sara, Clara or Matilda?

Reuben and Darcy?
Reuben and Ivan?
Reuben and Joseph?
Reuben and Lennon?
Reuben and Otto?
Reuben and Tate?
Reuben and Spencer?

Reuben and Athena?
Reuben and Daphne?
Reuben and Effie?
Reuben and Ivy?
Reuben and Juno?
Reuben and Lennox?
Reuben and Quinn?
Reuben and Saffron?
Reuben and Willow?

Miriam and Elijah.

I know a Reuben with sisters Alice and Dinah.

Renz or Lyla

Thanks for the suggestions! Love Jude, Noah, Ezra, Elliott and Jonah but can't use them as family members/friends have. Love Elijah but is it getting very popular? Ivan is cool but would I be setting him up for a life time of "the terrible" jokes? Also love Gabriel, Raphaela, Moses, Tabitha, Athena, Effie, Martha, Margot, Celeste, Jemimah, and Juno! Oh and Levi and Malachi are cool too - although I'm not sure I'm cool enough to pull them off! What a great list of suggestions!! Loads to think about! Thanks everyone!
