Interesting names/spellings that stood out on my uni forum:
Pheona
Krystel
Martyn
Kendle
Aleksandra
Sarn
Daila
Kieron
Carlee
Demelza


Also, following the recent "this or that" wagon, both Ruben and Ruby are on my list (for a boy and girl, respectively). Which do you prefer? Also, do you prefer the spelling Ruben or Reuben or Rueben? Middle name suggestions are also welcomed!!

Ruby, by far.

Out of all the spellings, I like Ruben, but I think I like Rubin better.

i prefer ruben or reuben and really like the name. it's nice.

rueben (rĂ¼ben) are beetroot in german so coming from that it does look a tad bit weird. *giggle

My cousins aged 10 and 15 are named Ruby and Reuben. The story is that my aunt and uncle let the 5 year old Reuben name his baby sister.

I love Ruby, AND Ruben. I think I'd go with Ruben because it's the most straight forward, but it's also a legit spelling.

I think Aleksandra is a legitimate spelling. Pheona is pretty different though.

I like Ruby better. I think, between the Ruben spellings, I like Ruben the best.

It's either Ruben (with or without umlaut), or Rueben.
Reuben would be pronounced Roy-ben in german. That takes the purpose out of spelling it any different than just Ruben (if you're going for the RUE-ben prn)

I love Reuben! :) Ruby is also very pretty. Ruben is ok, but Rueben just looks weird to me.
