Isaac or Reuben? Which do you prefer?

[cheekster]

Thats it really ...

Reuben here

Reuben is my fave...dp got a cousin who is called that name.

both fab names
think I slightly prefer Isaac NN Zac

They are both brilliant names!

Reuben. Lovely.

I've called my 6 week old Reuben.
Def the way to go.

1. Reuben
2. Isaac

DS is Isaac, my grandad (aged 84) thinks it's very old fashioned and refuses to use it - he calls him Ike instead.
I HATE Ike but can't tell my wonderful doting grandad that!

I love Reuben aswell, round here Reuben is used more often than Isaac.

Both nice names. Be aware that Isaac can be shortened to Zack.

We also had Reuben down as a possibility before ds was born.

We gave ds a biblical name, some thought it was an unusual name and kept confusing his with quite a few OT names. When ds was born, a friend's mother addressed him as Isaac in his card!

Isaac is nicer. I didn't realise Zac was a nn though I thought Isaac is prounounced eye-zuk not eye zak? Not sure. Nice though.

Both names nice but not shortened to Zac.

I love Reuben. We had it down as a middle name for a boy (cos it doesn't go with surname v well) but we're having another girl.

Love them both, had them both on my list, but Isaac probably just about has the edge.

Both delightful but probaly like Isaac slightly more -

My DS (3) is Isaac and I've yet to come across another one up here in central Scotland. It's never been shortened either but does get misspelt alot (Issac) - grr!

It passes the shouting out in the supermarket test too and has a lovely meaning.

Reuben is lovely too tho'!

these are the names I chose for my boys...love them!
What did you decide on?

Love both but Isaac more!

Reuben, definitely my OH's nephew is a Reuben and he is gorgeous! xx

Reuben. No contest.

Isaac is ok, it was on my list, but I've gone off it a bit and I haven't gone off Reuben, I still like that one.

Saul is lovely Sweetfall
