• Rupert or
• Rory

Already have a boy called Noah. I love his name and really struggling to find another boys name I like. Have a feeling No.2 will be another boy!
Which is your favourite of the above 2 names? And why?
I have reservations about Rupert due to a few "Rupert the Bear" responses.
Many thanks :-)

Rory

I prefer Rupert. It's a more mature name. Rory is now considered unisex, but it's been used as pet names for Roderick and Riordan before, so you could name your son one of these and call him Rory. Let him grow up with a proper man's name.Rory is just too cute.

I love both, but Rory is the better fit with Noah.

Noah and Rufus would be nice.
Rafferty non Raffi
I do like Rupert though and I’m pretty sure that the bear isn’t such a thing now.

Rupert

I think Rory goes better with Noah, agree with 5BlueHydrangea that the names are nicely squared off. I also think Reuben goes well with Noah - biblical thing I suppose.

DC2018 · 19/10/2018 00:30

Rory. Its the nicer name and goes best with Noah imo x

BlackStar7 · 18/10/2018 23:55

Roman
Raf or Raffi short for Rafaello
Russell
Romeo
Riley
Rio
Rhodri
Rhidian
Read (unusual I know but I think it goes well)
Ren (I really like this with Noah)
Rhys or Reece (I like this best with Noah)

Observatorycrest · 18/10/2018 23:20

I like Noah and Rafi.

Picknickers · 18/10/2018 23:20

Rupert. Fab name and not used much.

Ipanema01 · 18/10/2018 23:10

Rory! Also Rafe Smile

Icklepup · 18/10/2018 22:54

Rupert..

Rufus would be nice

Roo84 · 18/10/2018 22:54

Rory is one of our favs too. We also have Reuben and Ronnie. Every name we like seems to begin with R!

WheelyWheelySpookilicousCotee · 18/10/2018 22:50

What about Riley

CountFosco · 18/10/2018 22:24

Rupert goes with Noah better than Rory does. I was going to suggest Robert.

Sunflower321 · 18/10/2018 22:21

Rupert is nicer than Rory.

Peachbubble · 18/10/2018 22:02

I vote for Rupert

Petalflowers · 18/10/2018 21:36

From your title, I was going to suggest Reuben.

From,your list, Rupert.

AliceRR · 18/10/2018 21:35

I love Rory but it’s very “now”

NorthernRunner · 18/10/2018 21:35

I love Rupert and Rory. Also love Percy.

Noah and Rupert
Noah and Rory
Noah and Percy
Noah and Robert

Incidentally if it’s a girl I think Noah and Ruby is lovely 😊

RavenWings · 18/10/2018 21:34

Rory, hands down. Rupert doesnt even come close, too poncey imo.
