Hey,

So we're 2 weeks away from our due date and beginning to (mildly) panic over names.

'Yay' or 'Nay' on the current front-runner if it's a boy...

Rupert Cosmo

?

Leave the cosmo.

Not overly keen on Rupert, not my sort of name but much nicer than cosmo.

You rarely use your middle name so choose your favourite first name that goes well with your surname.

Either but not both

It is a bit Jilly Cooper alrighty.
I don't personally like it, but not the worst.

You need to have a double-barrel surname and land/a title to pull it off but I kind of like it!

It screams Jilly to me too.

Not that it matters if you like the name.

Not Rupert for me though, definitely one or the other if you have to, not both.

Personally I don't like Cosmo. I like Rupert though!

Love Rupert.

Cosmo is a little too spacey/dog name.

Jeremysfavouriteaunt · 16/06/2016 13:32

I am taking these Cosmo comments personally even though I didn't even use the name Grin

Is your surname Kramer? If yes, go ahead.

Depends how posh you are. Will they be going to private school? Is the surname double-barrelled?

If you have an unusual first name, I think that the middle names should be a normal alternative that they might prefer when they're older.

Oh that's bad. Really bad. You've chosen two of the drippiest names going. All you need is to put Walter in there and you'll have the full set.

Rupert and Cosmo really leaves nowhere to go if you're child wants something less posh

DramaAlpaca · 16/06/2016 14:05

It does sound very posh to me.

The only good thing about Rupert is that you can call him Roo, which is adorable.

My first thoughts are Jilly Cooper too Grin

I know a Rupert Charles.
He is always Rupert. Never roo..

Not sure on cosmo.

Really don't like Rupert. Both are a bit geeky and speky imo but much prefer Cosmo given the choice.
