Ok, so I managed to miss the girl shout......ooops ! Congrats on that.... better not call her jacob then......

I quite like rupert.

We also have a Hugo... Didn't think the name was that popular..!

I know littleone, I didn't think it was either think it will be quite popular in a few years by the sounds of it.

Still love it though although look at him and think he could have easily been a Rupert aswell but I hadn't thought of it at the time.

Would have been fab name for brothers Hugo and Rupert!

But on with the girls names we go :)

I love Rufus;

My DP and I discussed
Tarquin
Marcus
William
Charles
Rupert
Edward
Oscar
Oliver
Benjamin

I rather liked the idea of Tarquin Oscar Rupert as a name. I was refused.

Love Rufus.
How about ;
Rory
Rex

Sorry, really dislike Rupert.

ZOMBIE thread 🙂

Rupert - the bear
Rafferty is awful. Nn will be Raff not Rafe.
Rufus and Edward both OK. Not sure if Ruf is a good nn though.
The name to avoid if you think your child won't be able to say his Rs is Wowy or Auwowa.
Hugo and Howard/Henry/Hugo - too much.

I like Edmund.

his/her Rs

Rupert is a fab name, one of my favourites. I know one, aged 6, who has the nn Roo.

Just realised this is a zombie thread!!!!

I personally like Rupert, it's a good name with an aura of success about it, and it has a rich history to boot!
Hugo and Rupert are good together you may like Otto as well, they sound lovely together too.

LOVE Rafferty!!! It's so nice and strong and modern sounding, but is an old name. it's totally worth a comeback. I'd have this name on my list if it didn't clash with my surname.

Rupert and Rufus are a bit pompus sounding to me.

Edward is gorgeous, and Ed/Eddy is a nice nickname for it.

What about Raphael?

I don't like Rafferty- too surnamey (and Jude Law and Sadie Frosty)
Rufus is OK
Edward is nice but safe
Rupert is a hit wet
