Rufus or Reuben/Ruben for a boy?

I hope you all are not annoyed with me yet. Still trying to decide on baby #5's name- we like biblical names.

Any opinions on the names Rufus or Reuben/Ruben?

(brothers would be ben, isaac, josh and joel). thanks!

I like Ruben, but Rufus reminds me of a dog...

Quoting J+D=4:" I like Ruben, but Rufus reminds me of a dog..."

  Ruben to me doesn't go with the others though.

I like Rufus....its different.

Neither. Reuben makes me think of a sandwhich, and Rufus a dog. Sorry.  

Ruff Ruff === Rufus

Reuben does make me think of the sandwich, but better a sandwich than a dog...

what about Isaiah? or Ethan?

seriously? Reuben is from the bible...LOL

Quoting steph_bij:" seriously? Reuben is from the bible...LOL"

yeah, one of the deacons from my church is named reuben (wasn't sure which way he spells it tho) it's just not very common now and people arent used to it

Quoting J+D=4:" what about Isaiah? or Ethan?"

I like Isaiah, but already have an Isaac.
I'm just not sure about Ethan, don't know why. thank you!

Quoting steph_bij:" I like Isaiah, but already have an Isaac. I'm just not sure about Ethan, don't know why. thank you!"

I thought it was kinda close, but was trying to stick with the "I/J" theme you have going :p

I like Rupert.

I think of Ruben Studdard.
