A quick name usage question... Thanks!
My favorite masculine name combination right now is Reuben John. The problem is, whenever I mention the name, I get a lot of, "But you're not Jewish." I never really considered Reuben to only be a "Jewish" name. I realize that it's Hebrew in origin, but then so are lots of other names that I wouldn't consider solely Jewish in usage. But then, I haven't met a lot of Reubens, so I could be wrong. (I think it would be silly to nix the name just because I'm not Jewish, so answers to my question probably won't affect my opinion of the name. But I am really curious about it, hence the question.) So, what do you think?

Top Picks: Leona or Lorna Margaret (f), Philippa Jane (f), Reuben John (m), Reid Bartholomew (m)
