I like Rupert best Smile

You can't go wrong with either, they are both lovely.

I think you have to look at your baby first before you make a firm decision.

AKissIsNotAContract · 23/08/2013 10:57

I prefer Rupert too

I agree that you have to see the baby first. We have just been struggling with Boys names and it feels nice to have a couple of names that people wing laugh at!!

Also, DS is very keen on selling it Rupert if a boy ( he loves Rupert the bear). He wants it to be called tummy lump if its a girl though...

I love both but Monty is my favourite. It was top of our boys name list before we found out bump is pink!

DolomitesDonkey · 23/08/2013 11:06

Monty!

emsyj · 23/08/2013 11:11

Rupert is lovely, best boy name ever.

Not keen on Monty - maybe because I knew a horse called Monty, so it's a horse's name to me.

What is the matter with you people Rupert!? Will you send him to school with a kick me poster on his back too.

LynetteScavo · 23/08/2013 11:22

sonlypuppyfat, she will probably send him to a school where children are taught to respect other people.......

ZolaBuddleia · 23/08/2013 11:28

I prefer Montgomery, Rupert is a bit chinless to me.

HandMini · 23/08/2013 11:32

Monty? Or Montgomery?

MrsBungle · 23/08/2013 11:36

Monty.

Saffyz · 23/08/2013 12:19

I prefer Rupert.

NoComet · 23/08/2013 12:25

Monty is great
Rupert = Bear or rather spineless, wet public school boy

ElBombero · 23/08/2013 12:25

Love rupert!

runningincircles · 23/08/2013 12:26

Monty is ace! Rupert is good too though. Monty is a good mix of old fashioned, modern and unusual.

Bowlersarm · 23/08/2013 12:28

Rupert.

Without a doubt. Gorgeous name,

Could always put both in.

DH has been known by friends as his middle name, which could happen if Monty was in the middle I think.

Depends what you mean by posh Mardy!

I don't think you have to be 'posh' to use Rupert.

Rupert Grint doesn't seem posh.

AndWhenYouGetThere · 23/08/2013 12:58

Rupert is perfect.

Alisvolatpropiis · 23/08/2013 13:14

Rupert.

I like Monty, but in my head it's a dogs name (I was going to call a male puppy Monty see).

squoosh · 23/08/2013 13:20

Both veh, veh, veh posh.

If I had to go for one I suppose it would it would be Montgomery although I'm not sure if I'd have the nerve to call out 'Monty, your dinner's ready' within earshot of other humans.

Rupert is so weedy and wetter than the Atlantic Ocean.
