I don't really like the sound of it all that much, but it's decent.

Favorite. :-D

Unfortunately it reminds my husband of an old German, so it's out.

I really like Reuben Emanuel.

I`ve adored Reuben since I can remember. It`s such a unique sound. Yeah there`s the sandwich, but you know what? Reuben sandwiches are delicious. Plus I don`t think most kids know of it. I hate when people spell it Ruben, I feel like it takes something away.

---

Unfortunately finding combos is hard since it`s so incredibly Biblical that I don`t want an Old Testament overdose, yet it culture clashes to put it with anything else. So far all I have is Reuben John.

Reminds me of Ruben Studdard the American Idol winner.

I'm trying so hard not to say "sandwich" or "The Partridge Family's manager", because I think that associations are too easily come by and that if one wants to start letting associations wreck names, the list of wrecked names will become far too long.

---

So, those associations aside, (I swear I'm not thinking of them), I don't find that I like the sound of Reuben.

I suppose it could be worse, but I've never liked it. I don't even like a Reuben sandwich.

Reuben is nice but I wouldn't use it myself.

Any you like?

I never used to like it much because I only thought of the sandwich (not that it's a bad sandwich)! But I like it more now, it's a very warm name. I don't have any Reuben combos with it as a fn, but I have the combo Casimir Reuben that I like.

Love Reuben. I never think of the sandwich first, always of the Biblical character. For me, it's a strong Hebrew name that symbolizes the joy of having a son.

I love the name Reuben and was just thinking about it earlier today. As for combos, I think there are a lot of names that would work well with it, I just don't have time to list them all!

I like it though it does make me think of the sandwich but it was my great grandpa's first name though he went by his middle, and my step-great grandpa (but the only one I knew)'s name so it is special to me and I may be a bit bias but I like it. I don't have a made combo on hand but my great grandfathers were Reuben Everett and Reuben Franklin.
