[name_f]My[/name_f] instinct is [name_m]Ruben[/name_m] since it’s the most popular where I live, but I wouldn’t be surprised to see any of these spelling tbh. It’s a [name_f]Katherine[/name_f] v [name_f]Catherine[/name_f] v etc type situation with me

[name_m]Reuben[/name_m] is the one that looks best and intuitive to me - mostly because it’s the one that’s used most frequently where I am. [name_m]Ruben[/name_m] would be my second pick (and is the more popular spelling in other places)

[name_m]Reuben[/name_m].

Possibly [name_m]Rubin[/name_m], but I feel like the other spellings would work better. The one time I’ve used the name (for a character in a book I’m writing), I spelled it [name_m]Ruben[/name_m]. Though, I think, for a real child, I prefer the [name_m]Reuben[/name_m] or [name_m]Rueben[/name_m] spellings better.

[name_m]Ruben[/name_m] would be my first choice. Then [name_m]Reuben[/name_m].

Generally speaking though, I don’t like unnecessary letters in names or words :woman_shrugging:

[name_m]Ruben[/name_m] is more popular in the US but both are in the top 1000

Where I come from [name_m]Ruben[/name_m] is the most common version, [name_m]Reuben[/name_m] after that.

10

I would spell it [name_m]Ruben[/name_m] ( (more familiar in my Spanish speaking country) but I prefer [name_m]Reuban[/name_m] as it looks a little more classic and elegant.

[name_f]My[/name_f] son is [name_m]Reuben[/name_m]. I wanted the most established spelling. He is nearly 4, in that time 99% of people spell it right first try. It also looks nicest imo.

I like [name_m]Reuben[/name_m] the best for sure.

[name_m]Ruben[/name_m] or [name_m]Reuben[/name_m] - though I would use [name_m]Ruben[/name_m] for myself, because in my country, [name_m]Reuben[/name_m] would be reh-u-ben and not ru-ben.

[name_m]Reuben[/name_m] is how I would spell this name!

[name_m]Reuben[/name_m] is gorgeous :teddy_bear:
