Names to go with Rupert

55 replies

ktsch · 17/03/2025 21:03

we want something traditional but not popular,
names such like George/ Hugo/ Oliver/ Edward are extremely popular in our area.
When naming our son we both didn’t know or know of any Rupert’s.
My favourite is Quinn and husbands is Sebastian but we both don’t like each others front runner.
We are sorted for a girl but struggling with boys.
Also do not want another R name.
Any suggestions?

Thanks all
Ernest was my second choice for Rupert but husband didn’t like it
and love Wilfred too and again husband says no

Maybe I should just get a new husband, seems the easiest solution 🤣🤣

My first thought was Monty.

Or Perry

Rupert & Barnaby both have the bear theme, & a daughter would obviously have to be Winnie!

i also like your suggestion of Quinn - I know a Quentin who gets called Quinn. I’m not keen on Sebastian as don’t like Seb or Basty.

Robert. Maybe too close to Rupert. But it’s a great name.
