Rufus??

What do people think of this name? I love it, but my hubby has said 'no way-no how'.

I have two other boys named Maximillian (Max) & Theoden (Theo), and I thought Rufus (Roo) would complete the Latin-type names.

Hubby reckons Rufus is a really 'chavvy' name, but I always thought it was quite classy.

Opinions please. Does anyone have any other suitable suggestions to compliment my other boy's names, and to fit with a single syllable surname?

Fabian was on my list too - It means 'bean' (which is what we called bumpy before he got, um, bumpy) ;0)

I love Rufus, but DH has vetoed it saying that it's a dog's name. Defo not chavvy - you've got to persuade him!!

We're also considering Heath (cliff), Rafferty, Aubury, Woody and Percy. IF we have a boy that is...

Reuben? You could still use 'Roo' then...

I like Rufus and Gabriel.
