First name definitely Reuben, but which of these as a middle- dh and I can't decide and I don't want to discuss it with anyone else in RL! Please add any suitable alternative suggestions for us!

Reuben Jude
Reuben Arthur
Reuben Spencer
Reuben George
Reuben Isaac

Am sure there are so many more nice middle names but this gives you an idea of what we like!

What letter does the last name start with? E.g. Reuben Arthur Thomson = RAT... child will not forgive that...

Last name starts with a C; it never occurred to me to think about initials! Thanks for that

RAC.... Reuben Arthur C.

I like Reuben Spencer.. is Spencer a family name you are passing on? I like the idea of using names that are in the family already too. All the best for the birth!

Not overfond of Reuben, sorry - but it is way better than Spencer.

Our yet to be conceived DS has been named Reuben for the last 5 years! It's a family name & I adore it. A little miffed that it seems to be getting quite popular on here lately tbh! Of your list I prefer George closely followed by Isaac. Our DS will be Reuben William after his dad. DD is only 8 weeks old so may be some time before he arrives! Good luck and congratulations. :-)

Don't want to throw a spanner in the works but my brother's first name begins with R and surname with C and he was nicknamed RC all through school which quickly became 'arsey' and caused a fair bit of upset. Also my bil's initials are W.C so do think very carefully about initials!

Honestly I disagree about initials. Nobody cares what initials you have. Maybe it's just where I'm from but seriously nobody cared.

My initials are R A M. So ram like a sheep or i.t. Seriously I think sometimes people over think this. I like Isaac.

DH's initials are TB. I always tease him about it, that his parents obviously weren't thinking straight after he was born!
