Rufus??

What do people think of this name? I love it, but my hubby has said 'no way-no how'.

I have two other boys named Maximillian (Max) & Theoden (Theo), and I thought Rufus (Roo) would complete the Latin-type names.

Hubby reckons Rufus is a really 'chavvy' name, but I always thought it was quite classy.

Opinions please. Does anyone have any other suitable suggestions to compliment my other boy's names, and to fit with a single syllable surname?

Love Rufus, but think Marcus would match too.

I've you are thinking really Latin, I know a Caesar.

Lol - I had the 'dog name' remark, when I called my first born Max ....... but now there are loads of Max's around. Perhaps I'm just a trend-setter Hmm

I wouldn't say Rufus is "chavvy" at all! I think it's a lovely classy name and goes perfectly with your other two.
