Clare's insight:
I've just read a few versions of this story; this is the only one that gives the couple's final decision, and points out that it was somewhat inevitable given the child's future surname.

Clare's insight:
Fair point that using names as brands is unfair, but... - can we be sure that this is what famous people who choose unusual names are deliberately doing? - surely there's an argument that *all* names are brands of some kind? - isn't it a bit unfair to criticise a well-established virtue name like Honor?

" A few months ago I featured the name Zared, which I first came across in a fantasy novel. Today's name reminds me quite a bit of Zared. By that I means at first glance it looks like a well known name - i.e. Reuben - that has been "jazzed up" a bit with the addition of a lesser used, futuristic sounding letter. But just like Zared, this is not the case with Reuven, and it is actually an old Hebrew name with Biblical connections."
Clare's insight:
Good name! I, too, was unaware of the term "rube", and also that Reuben has been on the US charts for girls. But anyway, Reuven or Reuben, both top-notch.
