Rueben?

Dh loves it. I love the meaning (behold a son) as he would be our first ds.

Can you think of any negative connotations or reasons for not choosing it?

And lastly does it go with Eva, our dd's name?

It's a lovely name, but isn't it spelled Reuben?

I know a few Rubens & Reubens and I don't like the name at all, I'm afraid. I agree it has a lovely meaning though.

Reuben is the spelling i know....i think its nice....not quite sure. I love Roobs as a NN tho....{sure that is a girl NN tho...}

behold a son is a gorgeous meaning.

I like it, providing the title was a typo and you are going to spell it Reuben. Nice name, goes well with Eva

I love it, my first child was going to be Reuben except she is a girl.

I love it, DD was going to be one if she was a boy, but this boy on the way now will not as DH has changed his mind

Yes, I like it.
