Rudolf?

We have a baby name list attached to our fridge and whenever a name comes to us that we love we just pop it on the list to revise and discuss at a later date (usually after gender scan). This is a new experiment for us and seems to be working pretty well.

This morning, I came down for breakfast and glanced at the fridge and saw DH had written "Rudolf(ph?)" on the paper... the worst thing is my mind isn't screaming no!

Please remind me why it's a bad idea?!

Oh and we live in Germany so it's actually a classic name here... I really need to stop convincing myself!

Rudy is kind of cool though.

When he grows up his girlfriend will be a proper Vixen.

He might grow up to have a best friend who is a Dancer!

I'm sorry OP but stick to your guns. It's a terrible name.

It is the red nosed reindeer. That is all it ever should be Wink
