What's the consensus on Rudy?

DH is stuck on Rudy if DC turns out to be a boy. I need a bit of convincing, I like it, but not sure it's for me. Any thoughts?

Isn't Rudy Smithy's sister in Gavin & Stacey?

Rudy awful

tiredteddy · 11/09/2011 19:49

I know an adult Rudi, and it really suits him! Quite cool I think.

MrsCurly · 11/09/2011 19:50

It's lovely

4madboys · 11/09/2011 19:52

i LOVE it, but i have a Rudi myself so am slightly biased Grin

StellaAndFries · 11/09/2011 19:52

I love it, I tried to get dp to agree to it each time I was pg but we had 4dd's so no chance to use it. Dp couldn't get the song out of his head which is why he had reservations.

My ds1 is rudy so I love it :)

sunnysunnyshine · 11/09/2011 19:59

Love it. So cool and also one of my fav songs ever.

Too similar to "rude".

bluebump · 11/09/2011 20:09

Love it.

MummysLittleSunbeams · 11/09/2011 20:18

OMG are you all bonkers??? Grin

ILikeToMoveItMoveIt · 11/09/2011 20:22

Love it. So cool!

thefirstMrsDeVere · 11/09/2011 20:27

My DC5 is called Rudy.

Rudylicious.

I love it obviously.

It has the added advantage of having a song that his brothers can sing roar at him as we are going along in the car.

Stop yer messin around ah ah ah....

Rhubarbgarden · 11/09/2011 20:41

I really like it

mistressploppy · 11/09/2011 20:42

Love the Specials, like Rudy. It's cool.

Are you cool?

OvO · 11/09/2011 20:44

I really like it. Very cool name.

serin · 11/09/2011 20:50

Was going to say very cool, like everyone else has!

RightUpMyRue · 11/09/2011 20:54

Awful.

LetThereBeRock · 11/09/2011 21:00

Love it.

poppydaisy · 11/09/2011 21:14

Rudolph/Rudolf is not quite ready to be cool imo. I know a few middle aged German men named this (nickname Rudi) so associate it with that age class.

And in English you cannot name a child a name that is pronounced Rude-ee Grin. Sorry, but I really dislike it.

rachel234 · 11/09/2011 21:16

Awful and too similar to rude.

Soothe · 11/09/2011 21:19

not everyones taste in real life

PootlePosyPerkin · 11/09/2011 21:20

Rudy-Trudy. Terrible name IMO, sorry.
