Rudi for a boy?

[BrightnessFalls]

Or is not traditional enough? Its not for me btw

Bit too Rudy Law for me

Ah...well you see, it sounds exactly the same as "rudie" which is slang for various things depending on where you live.

No.

Awful, sorry. Even the full name Rudolph is not great, sorry.

Rudi is too Rude-y, like Mean-y or Stink-y, sorry.

Oh, I LOVE LOVE it. But think that Rudolf would be asking for it a bit...

well as i have a Rudi, i obviously love it! its a great name, always getting compliments, there have been threads on it before and you always get the 'too like rude' comments which has never been an issue for my ds4, he loves his name and so do we :)

Horrible

I really like it - but prefer it spelled Rudy - thought that was the more traditional way? Dont like the 'i' but thats all!!

Too much like rude.

Think it's an ace name...DH wanted to call DS Rudy...but he ended up being a Jude, so only one letter in it

Great name. It's strong and a bit cheeky, cool choice.
Rudyard for the bith certificate in case off.

Love it!

I like it Rudy with Rudyard on bc.

Few points:

Don't like the spelling - prefer Rudy.

Sounds like 'rude'.

Reminds me of Sheridan Smith's character in Gavin & Stacey. Rudi was Smithy's sister.

Could work as a nickname for something obviously masculine/without any teasing potential.

I like it. Reminds me of the character Rudi in Misfits on E4!

I was thinking of suggesting a more traditional name and having Rudy as a nickname. Its been on my sisters list for 12 years and I cant see it slipping. Its a shame that Dexter has become a seriel killer in the last 12 years as, that was the other one.

I quite like it, but it's not serious enough for an adult, IMO

If you like Rudi and Dexter (which are both quite trendy), what about:

Jude
Evan
Levi
Luca
Haydn

"a message for you, Rudy"

Inadvisable in some inner cities.

Dont like it. sounds like rude.

I have a Rudy.
Its aces.

He is Rudy on the birth cert but since Christmas I have taken to calling him Rudolph.

I named him after the Specials song.
Nowt wrong with that.

Just makes me think of being "rude" ...you know.

Ha ha ha ha @ inner city warnings.

Why?
Spent my whole life in dah (various) hoodz.

Its never cropped up as an issue.
