Second middle for Reuben?

I think I finally have my [name_m]Reuben[/name_m] combo. I’ve loved him for a while, but got held up on [name_m]Reuben[/name_m] [name_m]Sebastian[/name_m]. I love him a lot, but I’m not sure he flows the best, and [name_m]Sebastian[/name_m] is one of those names I want to use everywhere, and he’s already on my top 5 as it is. I got stuck on a [name_m]Jasper[/name_m], [name_u]Amory[/name_u], and [name_m]Sherlock[/name_m] wormhole, but I already have a better place for [name_u]Amory[/name_u], and maybe for [name_m]Jasper[/name_m], too, and I’m not convinced that [name_m]Sherlock[/name_m] should be given to actual babies. :stuck_out_tongue: I just discovered [name_m]Reuben[/name_m] [name_m]Shepherd[/name_m], which I super love, and now I’m looking for a second middle to honor family.

I think I’ve narrowed it to these three family names that I like best–which do you prefer?

[name_m]Reuben[/name_m] [name_m]Shepherd[/name_m] [name_u]Grey[/name_u]
[name_m]Reuben[/name_m] [name_m]Shepherd[/name_m] [name_m]Jack[/name_m]
[name_m]Reuben[/name_m] [name_m]Shepherd[/name_m] [name_u]James[/name_u]

Thanks, Berries!

I really love [name_m]Reuben[/name_m] [name_m]Shepherd[/name_m] and I don’t think you can go wrong with any of those as second middles but I like [name_m]Jack[/name_m] and [name_u]Grey[/name_u] best.

[name_m]Reuben[/name_m] [name_m]Shepherd[/name_m] [name_u]Grey[/name_u] seems poetic and soft, It seems like the sort of name which would fit perfectly on the cover of a great novel.

[name_m]Reuben[/name_m] [name_m]Shepherd[/name_m] [name_m]Jack[/name_m] brightens up the whole name, it’s bubbly and makes me think of an adventurer.

Oh, I just love, love, love [name_m]Shepherd[/name_m]!

[name_m]Reuben[/name_m] [name_m]Shepherd[/name_m] [name_u]Grey[/name_u] is the one, [name_u]Ash[/name_u]. So handsome and charming!

I trip over the ending of [name_m]Shepherd[/name_m] and beginning of [name_m]Jack[/name_m] a little, which makes it feel not perfect. And [name_u]James[/name_u] is just not as smooth as [name_u]Grey[/name_u]!

[name_m]Reading[/name_m] your post is making me long for my little [name_m]Jack[/name_m] [name_m]Shepherd[/name_m] this morning x

Thanks, lovelies!

I’m glad you both are team [name_u]Grey[/name_u], as that’s the way I was leaning, as well.

What about [name_m]Reuben[/name_m] [name_m]Shepherd[/name_m] [name_u]Elias[/name_u]? I’m wondering if I like that even more than [name_u]Grey[/name_u], and it’s still honoring.

[name_m]Rueben[/name_m] [name_m]Shepherd[/name_m] [name_u]Elias[/name_u] is amazing. I think that’s my favourite, though i do like [name_u]Gray[/name_u] too

@greyblue - thank you! I’m pretty smitten with him, as well. I think he may be the one! It’s weird to think that [name_m]Reuben[/name_m] [name_m]Sebastian[/name_m] won’t be my [name_m]Reuben[/name_m] combo, but I use [name_m]Sebastian[/name_m] everywhere, and I love [name_m]Reuben[/name_m] [name_m]Shepherd[/name_m] [name_u]Elias[/name_u] so much.
