Rufus...what do you think?

[bohobaby]

Any out there?

Nice name for a dog.

I think dog too, then the comedian Rufus Hound (is that his real name ?

ouch

I bloody LOVE Rufus. It is an excellent name.

The next ds would be a Rufus had we not just called the dog Rupert.

ok what about Ronald?

oh love Rupert

NB the dog is only called Rupert because i love that name for boy too and dh had veetoed it so many times.

Do it. I knew one a few years ago and he was scrumptious.

I long to use it.

Don't like Ronnie. Call him Rufus. You must.

Also love Barnaby, any thoughts on that?

I love this name would love to name any future DS this but DH is having none of it.

imo Rupert is a bit stuck up but Rufus is cool!

I think Rufus is cool too but MIL not keen, she likes Gordon?

Barnaby also good.

Which way round if have both names

Rufus Barnaby

Barnaby Rufus

have short surname

Rufus Barnaby.

I like Rufus, but think it will be the new Felix and Milo type name - slightly posh and unusual and then everywhere (or at least here in the South East)
Saying that, it is nice, but I prefer Barnaby so would go for Barnaby Rufus.
I actually prefer mil suggestion of Gordon - Gordy is very cute, and Gordon Barnaby sounds fab!

I do tend to over think this stuff though

I immediately think of a dog when rufus is mentioned albeit a dog belonging to a
Middle/ upper class family

confused now.....love Rufus but keep thinking dog

love Barnaby but no one else keen

Didn't like Gordon but quite liking Gordy

As soon as I saw Rufus I thought of Rufus Wainwright. Not a dog. as far as I know.

Rufus Barnaby is an AWESOME name.

am trying to get Barnaby through as a middle name for my unborn sprog but DH won't allow it

I like Rufus and Barnaby and either way round sounds fine to me. both very cool names. Its not a dogs name. But dogs are called it just like dogs are called Ben and Sam but there are plenty of kids with these names. Its not like youve chosen a real dogs name like scruffy and benji.

DD was going to be Rufus if she was a boy.

Winston Chruchill's poodle was called Rufus.

Scruffy for a boy would probably be quite accurate though!

i know a few people with children called Benji!! is it a dogs name??
