Reuben and Wren

[JenJH]

Due a baby boy this year and we're undecided on his name. His older sister is Wren. Are Reuben and Wren too close for siblings?

Quite hard to say together but that won’t happen forever if it doesn’t bother you.

I love it sounds perfect to me

Beautiful names

I have 3 kids and can’t think of a time I say their names all together, I just go ‘KIIIIIIDS!!’ instead. And write them all in age order in cards etc. So Wren and Reuben.

They do sound quite similar for a shouting up the stairs situation. Same name but one has an OOB in the middle.
Rowan?

Lovely names but yes, they sound too much the same.

If DC3 is a DD she'll be a Wren, I love the name! And DC1 is Henry. So I say go right ahead 😂

Oh duh yeah that’s a really good point. OP could opt for ‘Rooooob!’, different vowel to Wren, might make a difference. But yes that might be tricky.

We’ve got a friend who shortens her Reuben to ‘Roo,’ if that helps?

The names are a little similar but not so as to cause real problems I don’t think. If you love Reuben, go for it!

Very difficult to say together for anyone with a speech impediment but obviously it's up to you.

I think they go together nicely

I think they’re lovely together

Too similar.

Lovely names. I think they go fine together too.

They are too similar

I don’t think they’re too similar at all. Lovely names. Go for it.

Lovely together

I like them together.

Wren and ‘Ben. A bit similar for me, though both lovely names.

Beautiful set of names.

I think they sound lovely together!

It's fine- good, complimentary names.

Reuben.. you've been away.
Great record.😎

Not too similar at all. Ru and Wren

I would find that a bit weird and a dyslexic nightmare - two names which sound as though they start the same but are differently spelled. I would avoid R names for that reason alone.
