I love Stella but I hate Reuben it reminds me of the sandwich (cornbeef, thousand island dressing) I cannot stand the sandwich, seriously if I even smell it i instantly feel like upchucking (sorry you didn't need that visual) so I would never use it.

I like Stella, but not Reuben (I think of the sandwich, rueben, and I don't find it masculine). I like Jude, only as a middle name, as you're using it, but I don't think the combo flows, because of the u sounds of both names. I suggest Stella Brianne and Reuben Matthew.

Edit: Spelling.

I'm not a huge fan of either name. I think of Reuben as a last name only, and Stella just makes me think of a wiry old woman with big hair for some reason. Plus, as others have mentioned, there's a beer called Stella Artois, which is also nicknamed "Stella".

---

I think they sound alright together though, as a pair.

Love them both, and I think they suit each other really well.
I find Reuben Jude a little repetitive though.

Like any of those?

I love Stella. It's not like the name is taken from the beer. The name long pre-dated the beer. It's a great name shared by a lot of interesting people. And since I find the beer kind of trendy-hip right now and don't think it'll be the next Heineken here, I don't think its a big deal.

I like:

Stella Claire
Stella Maris - if you want to go Star of the Sea

I love Reuben, though I think I prefer the spelling Ruben, depending on the combo. I used to like Stella but have gone off it now - it reminds me very much of the beer, and it's just lost its charm for me.

---

I don't much like Reuben Jude, because the "oo" sounds gets repetitive imo.
