We are looking for a name for our first DC who is definitely a boy. I am loving Rupert but DH is not so sure.

Opinions please )

TIA

Sounds a bit nerdy to me, sorry.

I rather like it, though I'm not sure that I'd use it.

And what's wrong with 'posh' names anyway?

I love it.

I am assuming you are posh to even consider it? I have a boy with a posh name too, but my DH wouldn't allow Rupert,

It reminds me of floppy haired boys that used to sneak over the convent wall when I was at school .

I really love it!

I am not keen sorry.

I knnew of an adult called Rupert. he was a teacher. After qualifying and going through teaching practise he decided to change his professional name to Simon (IIRR) as he got far too much abuse being called Rupert.

too, too posh.

It's the jockey Ruby Walsh's real first name

There is one in ds's year. It kind of suits him but he is commonly known as Rupes. It is also the name of dd's friend's dad.
