Walter and Rupert?

[threecurrantbuns]

What are your thoughts?

Like Rupert, but am really not fussed on Walter. It might go really well with your surname though.

Are you thinking for twins or a first and middle name?

Walter reminds me of a very weedy geek - probably bullied. Think it's due to my memories of reading my brother's Beano comic.

I would probably call a baby called Rupert, Roo but that's just me. I think it's cute but in full sounds good too.

A bows name that goes well with my other dcs esp my ds whos name is Hugo.

Boys

Rupert's much better than Hugo.

Those names make you sound well off and middle class - that's not a criticism, just an obervation

Sorry, not than Hugo - than Walter

everyone come and join, in all of his games

Both awful

No to both, sorry

Yep Rupert the Bear and Walter Softy for me too.

No to both.

I like Walter.

Sir Walter Scott, Sir Walter Raleigh, Walt Disney.

Not keen on Rupert, it's a bit obviously posh.

Not nice.

Also not that keen. Sorry.

I love both, but slightly prefer Walter, as you can use Walt for short.

I'm not keen on any of the short forms of Rupert, which lets it down slightly.

Absolutely love the name Rupert and goes well with Hugo. Not keen on Walter but I do like Winston. Have you considered Felix? Fab name.

I hope you don't live in a garrison town.

And once again I introduce the classless and timeless Duncan or Gavin or Adrian.
Walter would be shortened to Wally.

I like Walter a lot, and no, it isn't necessarily shortened to Wally. Walter Swinburn the jockey, Walter Smith the football manager, Walter Cronkite ....

I like Rupert and agree it goes well with Hugo.

Also like Winston. What about Quentin (Quinn) or Dominic?

My grandad was Walter. He was known as Wall so that would make it a no for me.
Don't like Rupert either. (sorry)

That would be wally not wall!

Why not shorten Walter to Walt?

Rupert is nice and goes well with Hugo imo.

I know two Ruperts and they are both quite posh, but not excessively so! One is Rupes for short and I'm not sure the other shortens it at all. I went to school with a Rupert too (a desirable comp) and he went by Roo, which I always found quite cool. I do like it, but it is definately a bit rah. Walter is shortened to Walt surely? I like Walt!
