My favourite is Dominic. No particular reason - just the way it sounds.

IckleBear · 22/12/2019 12:04

Dominic or Rufus

daisypond · 22/12/2019 12:08

Any but Reuben.

LadyMonicaBaddingham · 22/12/2019 12:22

Vincent. Its a charming name and Vinnie is so cute for a baby/toddler

MrsNoMopp · 22/12/2019 12:25

Rufus
Vincent
Dominic
Reuben

What a great list of 4 brilliant names

I’d probably chose Dominic (or Vincent or Reuben)

Peony99 · 22/12/2019 12:47

Dominic Smile

DameSylvieKrin · 22/12/2019 12:48

Rufus

bridgetreilly · 22/12/2019 12:51

In order:
Dominic
Rufus
Reuben
Vincent

DramaAlpaca · 22/12/2019 12:52

Dominic.

As for why, it's the only one I like.

Grufallosfriends · 22/12/2019 12:55

Reuben

GingerBeverage · 22/12/2019 13:00

Lots of politician Dominics, makes it less appealing to me.
Rufus is excellent choice.

Cornishmum00 · 22/12/2019 13:03

Dominic is my favourite from your list, rufus sounds like a dog name to me, Vincent sounds very old fashioned and i know a lot of Reubens so it would put me off

Astronica · 22/12/2019 13:23

from favourite to least:
Rufus - very cool and stylish
Dominic - good
Vincent - feels out of date still to me, and not keen on sounds
Reuben - hillbilly feel to me

Changedname81 · 22/12/2019 13:25

Only Reuben
But only cause of personal associations for the others 😆

BikeRunSki · 22/12/2019 13:26

Dominic, then Rufus
I have an irrational dislike of Vincent and I can’t hear the name Reuben without getting a bit hot under the collar and having wistful memories of the summer of ‘92. It’s a nice name though.

Rumbelow · 22/12/2019 13:31

Rufus

Peachbubble · 22/12/2019 13:33

Rufus

MikeUniformMike · 22/12/2019 13:43

Dominic - Dom
Vincent - Vince
Rufus - doofus
Reuben - wet

mondler · 22/12/2019 14:24

I love Dominic and Rueben. I don't hear them lots and think they sound nice. Vincent is nice and my friend has a 3yr old one. Rufus would be last just as it's used as a joke name in my social circles but that's probably just us!

MikeUniformMike · 22/12/2019 14:35

I love Dominic and Rueben

It's REUBEN.

Winkywoop · 22/12/2019 14:37

Dominic

TildaTurnip · 22/12/2019 14:38

In order of preference:
Rufus - the ones I know go by Roo
Dominic

Reuben
Vincent

I dislike Reuben but really really dislike Vincent

Spied · 22/12/2019 14:39

Sorry, reading your list I dislike all.
If I really had to I'd go Vincent.

ThatNortherner · 22/12/2019 14:51

I really like Reuben as it's my nephews name, but he's an awesome kid
