thanks ladies, thats a great start, sorry i added it after, but i love the name reuben its from the bible and means behold a son, we'll probably use it as a middle name, but feel its too close to our friends daughters name which is ruby and may be too much confusion. do you think we could shorten it to Ben if needed?
I think that would be fine. I don't think it's too close to Ruby at all IMO. If it means something to you, Why not use it? Ben is a great nickname.
