Pretty set on the name Reuben with the nickname Rue but struggling to find a name for his twin sister. So far narrowed down to:

Elina nn Ellie/Elle
Emilia nn Emi
Rosalie nn Rose/Rosie
Theadora nn Thea

any other suggestions are welcome too

Love Reuben so much! The R theme is such a nice one if you wanted them both the same initial. Some of my favourite R names just now are:

Renn
Reeva
Remie
Romy

Reuben and Lauren flows nicely for twins.

Reuben and Delilah sounds lovely to me - Reu and Lilah.

I instantly though Reuben and Bella!

Rubella? 🤦‍♀️

@DrHat thought it had a familiar ring to it!!! Now that you've pointed it out it seems glaringly obvious 😀

Nevaeh? it’s heaven spelt backwards

PollyPeep · 01/08/2023 23:44

Rue and Emi! I think with Rue, it could quite quickly veer into kids cartoon territory (eg Rosie and Roo) but I think these go well together. I like that the nicknames are both three letters and the full names sound nice together.

I have a Reuben which I shorten to Reubs.
My twins are Amber and Marcus. Other girls' names on my list were Libby, Francesca and Connie. I found it so hard to choose a girl's name, my three boy's names were easy lol!

Plonkdropdown · 01/08/2023 23:58

Parker.

Changing the spelling from Reuben to Rue will surely be confusing?? I love the name though

I have a Marcus who I always refer to as Marky... I felt weird using the k when writing it at first but if I didn't it would change it to a soft 'c'. I hadn't anticipated it til the first time I went to write it lol!
