Still struggling on a boys name. Which would you pick? Louis or Reuben

Reuben. I'm not keen on Louis.

Louis

I like the name Reuben the best of those two names, but they are both very nice names!

Mrsjayy · 28/01/2024 15:38

Louis is fine I mean it's the name of the little Prince who is very cute but Reuben is better its a stand out name.

timoteigirl · 28/01/2024 15:45

Neither. But they are very different styles. Louis is current prince and past French kings and Reuben is a very Jewish name.

Reuben,
I don't like that Louis has different spellings and can be confused for Lewis, my friend is called Louis and it autocorrects to Louise in my phone

Love both! Louis is my favourite of the two.

Reuben

I actually love them both. Louis I particularly love, but Reuben gorgeous too. Maybe wait to see when he’s here?

I prefer Louis but Reuben is ok. I do know several Reubens around me born in the last couple of years though so I think that one is very much on the rise.

StaunchMomma · 28/01/2024 22:51

Reuben much nicer, I think.

There will be lots of little Louis' now the Windsor's used it.

Imisscoffee2021 · 28/01/2024 22:55

My baby's called Reuben so that's my vote :)

Notsuredontknow · 28/01/2024 23:10

I like Louis. Not a fan of Reuben, sorry!

DramaAlpaca · 28/01/2024 23:24

Of the two, Louis.

Mandarinaduck · 28/01/2024 23:28

Louis.

FunnysInLaJardin · 28/01/2024 23:29

I like them both. My DS's aged 14 and 18 have friends called each name

Reuben

Reuben

I always find Louis a bit wet

Ronan or Laurence nn Laurie are less popular alternatives

Reuben is gorgeous.

Pocketfullofdogtreats · 14/05/2024 18:25

Reuben. I love Reub as a nn.

Louis

AllAtSeaAgain · 14/05/2024 19:15

Reuben. Louis always feels 'French' to me. Also, I've known people who pronounced it as Looey. And people who say Lewis.

I think you'd forever be correcting people.

Louis.
Reuben is somewhat effeminate to my ears.
