Really like it. As well as the shortening to Roo.

All the Ruperts I've known have been lovely

Love Roo, Rudy and RJ.

Agree that Rupert is MUCH nicer than Rudolph (Rudy = Rude-y to me), Rudiah or Ruaraidh (however that is pronounced...).

Ruaraidh is pronounced Rory, or thereabouts. Much stronger than Rupert, that does make me think of a very posh chinless wonder, unfortunately, sorry. Rupert the Bear?

Not keen on Rupert, sorry. Sounds a bit wet to me. And also reminds me of Rupert the Bear.

Love James though.

LOVE it! Especially Rupert, unusual yet easy to say and spell and so strong.
