Needing a boys name

[Pandora]

You could shorten it to anything you like.
Benjamin is nice too.
I do know a Reuben who gets Ruby so I see the similarity there.

Good point Pandora.

I have Reuben picked out for DS2 (if we have one) & I was planning on shortening it to Rudy. Because Ruby is a girl's name so I would think he'd get picked on & one of our friends has a Ben (short for Benjamin). But I would shorten it to Ben if not for that.

thanks ladies, Pandora, i figured that would be the case, we'll save it for a middle name cause i see no problem there, and look for alternatives, will just see if can't find one we love as much in the meantime, i figured 16 weeks is still enough time!

There's always the alternate spelling/pronunciation of Reuven...
