Reuben??

[Jojay]

What do you think? DH loves it. I'm not sure...........

[frazzledoldbag34]

But it also makes me think of swarthy, long haired little men. Not awfully keen. Also it reminds me of 'Ruby' and I'm just so sick of hearing about little Ruby's being born round here at the mo.

[frazzledoldbag34]

We used to have a hosepipe called Reuben.

(OK that's weird. I know. But we did buy it from a bloke called Reuben!)

[dinkymum]

i really like it! knew a reuben in art college and he was a very cool chap!

[hw2004]

Love it but DH won't have it for some reason!!!

[falcon]

I love it.

[PrettyCandles]

I liked Reuben, but dh wouldn't have it.

[4madboys]

yep love it, my ds2 is Oscar Reuben

[ScummyMummy]

love it too.

[lotuseener]

Love it!!! DH says it's the name of a sandwich though. I hope the next one is a boy so I can convince dh to let us name him Reuben!!!!

Ds1 is Gabriel Isaac, I love biblical names.

I love it, think it's a great name

[PookiePodgeandTubs]

I love it. Great name. My daughter aged six was almost a Reuben, I mean, obviously except for the fact ahtt she was a girl. Six/7 yrs ago when it was on my list people reacted as though I'd opened the bible and stuck in a pin. But now it's mainstream but not ubiquitous. Good choice imo.

[Grumpalina]

Love it. Love it. Love it.

Wanted it for DS2 but DP refused (ended up with Robin instead which doesn't seem to be a popular name at all???!!! Wanted to buy him a bauble for the Christmas tree on his 1st Christmas and they didn't have his name which seemed very bizarre??!!!)

My BF's DS is Reuben and he's a large eyed, long lashed husky voiced cutie at nearly 5yo, so big YES from me.

[BigBadMousey]

Like it - I don't know any young reubens at all.

[tiggerlovestobounce]

I love it.

[ShowOfHands]

I know 5 baby Reubens!

[biglips]

its one of my faves names but there is already a Reuben in my Dps family who is only 16 months old

[JuneBugJen]

Know 2 Reubens... its a great name.

[3andnomore]

Twenty, why ould anyone spell it "Rueben"?

[twentypence]

And be prepared for women who have called their son Rueben to tell you that you spelt it wrong.

[nickeldime]

I like it. It's popular, but not as common as Ruben, from the chart here:

[ollyop]

Love it. My Reuben is almost 16. It was more unusual when he was little, but recently I have heard of several more little Reubens being born.

[Beauregard]

Nice enough but quite popular

[eekamoose]

I just love this name. Would have given it to my gorgeous DS except our older DD (his sister) is Ruby.

Its a fine boys name. Really.
