What does a 'Rufus' look like?

[BettyBedlam]

I know Rufus means red-headed, so would it be daft to name a child if you don't expect it to be red-headed?

Would you expect a rufus to be chunky,rough and tumble, or tall and gangly?

Help needed please!

(ps - not for me - so feel free to be rude about the name!)

Rufus Sewell - Phoar

phlossie - your son looks like a Rufus - surfy hair. possibly a Boden or John Lewis beach cover-up thingy? Like the name .

Love the name Rufus but unfortunately I already know one and he's a black lab, otherwise it would definitely be on my favourites list for dc2.

LOVE LOVE LOVE Rufus Sewell. I don't know any real life Rufus's. I don't mix in Rufus circles.

I imagine a Rufus to have brown messy-ish hair and possibly brown eyes.

He would look like this

my first thought was a red setter.

Yes, Boden OriginalJamie. I'm very middle class you know!

I also know a petite Rufus with brown hair and blue eyes.

Also, BettyBedlam (my dd's called Betty), my name (Rowan) means red haired (well the male version does anyway, I think the female version is just the tree). I don't think that sort of thing matters too much, although I struck Perdita and Persephone off my list because of the meaning of the former, and Greek myth around the latter.

Nothing wrong with ginger- my nephew is almost strawberry blonde in fact.

well my ds4 was almost Rufus, i love the name! he is Rudi :)

but yes a cute, cheeky,little boy with blonde surfer type hair and probably boden clothes, that summs up my ds4

Rufus should be red-haired and foxy. Rough and tumble but wiry, not chunky.

The Rufus I know is : chunky,rough and tumble

He has wild curly hair, and is a bit of a devil child, I can also imagine him playing rugby when he's older due to his build and deterination to knock everything over

I know three. All are red heads.
