Hi all,

Just wanted to get everyone’s opinions on the name Rupert??
Even I feel like it’s an old fashioned posh persons name but I just love it. All of my friends and family are not impressed.

It's a typical posh boy type name and rather wet. We actually call them Rupert types...couldn't fight their way out of a paper bag!

The bear. It's a no from me.

I like it. Like the nn Roo as well.

I quite like it (although I don’t think it’s a name I’d choose personally). I know a Rubert (yes - definitely spelt like that) who goes by Roo - which is quite cute for a small boy.

I really don't like it but it's your child
