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?

I think they sound quite good together although they might not thank you if they are always linked as Wren and ' Ben.

My only caveat is that all the Ruben's I know from adults to kids are complete cocks. Lovely name though and I'm sure you won't be raising your boy to be up his own arse.

@JenJH For me, Reuben and Wren don't match at all, even though the names sound vaguely similar, - Wren 'n' Ben.

Wren is a bird name, of a really tiny brown bird.

Whereas Reuben is a heavyweight Biblical person from the Book of Genesis (who nobody really knows what they did till they look it up on wiki).

So, it seems an odd and imbalanced choice of names for siblings.
