Thoughts on Rupert?

I really like the name Rupert. It’s been a name that’s I’m liking more and more.

I’m aware it’s quite a marmite name and I’m not sure if it would bother me if family/friends didn’t like it.

Sorry, imo, it's a weak, wet name

50/50 so far so definitely showing it’s marmite. I don’t think it would be wildly out of place where we live.

I’m not bothered about the Rupert the bear association as I don’t think that particularly negative and most under 30ish has probably never heard of it

Rupert is dreadful. It’s such a wet and slightly comedic name.

Agree with this. Sorry OP.
If you like it though, go for it.

I rather like it but as you say, I reckon there are some who wouldn't like it.

It’s a lovely name.
