What do people think? I absolutely love it and it’s the only boys name I like really but my mum hates it and is trying to put me off!

I really don't like it. It's in the realms of Tarquin to me.

I like it, my family weren't sure of DS' name at first, probably similar to Rupert in that it's fairly traditional, bottom end of the top one hundred and there aren't half a dozen in each school year. They got used to it very quickly and now say they couldn't imagine him being everything else

I'm not a fan I'm afraid. I'd expect him to wear coloured jeans, a barbour jacket and have at least 2 black labradors in the back of one's Range Rover.

Not to my taste at all.

It's a mouthful, sounds harsh and it's very dated also.

Sorry

I like Rupert. It’s been growing steadily in popularity over the years and is in the top hundred at the moment, so it’s not like it’s an objectively bad name. It’s just a matter of taste. Honestly if you’re not interested in your mum’s view on your baby name (which is fair, she’s had her chance naming her children) then I’d stop talking to her about names. She’s much less likely to offer her unwanted opinion when you introduce a newborn baby with it.

Love the name! So many cut nicknames it can be shortened too as well!
I'm finding boys names really hard! SO annoying when people have negative opinions - your baby your choice :)
