Rufus: The next big thing? Awful? Woof?

I think I really like it. DH thinks it sounds 'naughty'. Does it matter that he will not have red hair? Or would it just be impossibly twee if he did?? I have DS Caspar already. Don't want a next big thing name, hope I don't already have one....

It is the name of my parent's dog. Kind of ruins it for me Smile

Extremely popular in the under 5s in my area - South East

I love it, DH hates it, so I'll never get to use it :(

ohnonotthephoneagain · 27/08/2010 21:43

oh, popular. That puts me off, not sure why. I would never fit with the Boden, yummy mummy types so don't want to appear to be trying! KWIM?

I like it, but do think it belongs iyswim on someone with red or reddish hair.

I like it. Considered it for DS2 but DP vetoed. I think it might become more popular but can't see it ever being top 20.

eatyourveg · 27/08/2010 22:30

love it. Its the name of the dishy dad in gossip girl

CheerfulYank · 27/08/2010 22:37

I think Rufus is nice! It's a good name for a dog too, but that doesn't mean it's not great for a little boy :)

I quite like it. What are the nickname possibilities? Can you see yourself yelling madly calling sweetly across the playground for Caspar and Rufus to get their arses back here come home soon?
