Isaac or Reuben? Which do you prefer?

[cheekster]

Thats it really ...

I love them both.
I have a Jacob and really like OT names!

Ooh, my two fave boy's names too. Reubens are strong and charismatic ime, so I'd put that first, but great choices both.

Reuben,Reuben,Reuben,Reuben !
Definately Reuben - I love it but cant use for family reasons!
Isaac is nice, but a bit over done at the moment - i know soooooo many!

I have an Isaac, so that gets my vote.

What works best with your surname?

would say Isaac as biased but will say Reuben as I like it too and don't want any more Isaacs around

I agree with bronze I have an Isaac too

They both work fine with surname, Im really torn between both names ...

Could use them both I suppose, but then which would be the first / middle name?

I just cant decide

Names in a hat?

They work well in both orders
Reuben Isaac
Isaac Reuben

What would the initials be? might swing your choice. IR? RI?

surname beginning with S

IRS?
RIS?

I love them both. Sorry, can't choose!

Reuben.

Well, Im really pleased that everyone likes both names

Just have to see which suits best = thanks everyone

Reuben gets my vote.

ds could have been Reuben

both lovely names, wait and see which suits him - we've always had a choice of a couple for each baby and picked when they arrived

Reuben my preference, though both are nice.

both v nice but Isaac reminds me of eye-sac so I don't think I could

I like Reuben best. It is particularly nice for a first boy as it means 'behold, a son'.

Reuben here too, anyway IRS is an American Tax Agency is it not?

Isaac gives you Zac for short

Reuben gives you Rubes

I like Isaac best - but the initials IRS are too tax like

I like Reuben too but not as much as Isaac

I was going to call my second child Isaac Saul if she had been a boy

I loathe both those names. sorry, not much help!

Love both

Reuben especially

Isaac
both are nice
