[name_m]Hi[/name_m] Berries,

Here’s a quick question for you - what do you think about the name [name_m]Reuben[/name_m], specifically with sister [name_f]Adelaide[/name_f]?

Our little boy is 2 weeks old and still doesn’t have a name, so I’m desperately tossing around all kinds of options.

Does the sweet vintage [name_f]Adelaide[/name_f] match [name_m]Reuben[/name_m]'s style? And what do you think of [name_m]Reuben[/name_m] in general? I’ve noticed that it’s not too popular here on Nameberry, but I’m not a fan of too popular names so that’s not a bad thing! Also, I don’t live in the US so the connection to the sandwich isn’t really there for me …

I’d love to get your thoughts :slight_smile:

I’ve loved this name since I encountered it while reading Where the [name_u]Red[/name_u] [name_f]Fern[/name_f] Grows as a child. It’s an underused classic, and I think it pairs beautifully with [name_f]Adelaide[/name_f].

Thank you! The name just popped into my head this morning for no apparent reason. Maybe it’s a sign? Anyway, I looked back on my boys list from a couple of years back and saw that it was on there. Not sure why I forgot about it? Thank you for assuring me that it goes with [name_f]Adelaide[/name_f] :slight_smile:

What kind of naming style/category do you think [name_m]Reuben[/name_m] falls under?
