Reuben

[spareparts]

Thoughts please..

Was the elsdest of the children of Israel with Simeon & Levi the next in line (Joseph & his funky coat lyrics)

I like Reuben

Like it.

OK. I know a Reuben.

I would think Reuben was jewish.

I think it's lovely

Love it!! We have a Fraser but if i had another Ds i'd probably call him Reuben.

I love it.
It was on my list for a boy

nice

Nice name.

Only if you are Jewish.

I'm not normally a fan of Old Testament names, but I like this!

If anyone has seen the musicalit could be a bother, but most children wont have:

Napthali and Isaachar with Asher and Dan
Zebulon and Gad took the total to nine
Jacob. Jacob and sons
Benjamin and Judah, which leaves only one
Jacob. Jacob and sons
Joseph-- Jacob's favorite son

A very attractive name. Suggests curly hair.

I would assume you were a Jewish family... if you are then Brilliant,

rather smashing name I think

Anyone remember the film Reuben Reuben? I liked that film but not relevant at all.

love it

and i have a jewish surname too

I'm not really that keen tbh.

My Welsh methodist brother his and Irish/French Catholic wife have a Reuben....
He gets called Roo or Ruby too
It's a great 'not too hard not too soft' name IYKWIM

Absolutely lovely, had a great uncle Reuben, thought of it for Dc2, but a little girl, so went with Ruby.

my ds2 is Oscar Reuben, we often call him Reuben actually or roo, or roo cake...... a huge number of variable nicknames

but its a lovely name and would have been his first name except someone in my toddler group used it before me

Love it. Was our chosen name for DC1 but she was a girl. It was DH's great grand-fathers name. He was Jewish but DH is not, I do not think it is too Jewish for non-Jewish families to use.

Like it. It's ds's middle name. dp has got jewish ancestors but we didn't pick it because of that, I actually thought it was a german name!

Very popular with my friends, I know 4!!

4 Reubens, not 4 friends.
