Rupert?

[Rosieliveson]

I'm in love with it. Slightly worried that it's my hormones though. My DH really likes it too.
Is it too unusual? I know there are still strong connotations with "the Bear" in my parents generation but I don't really think of that.

No, far too posh for me. And wet.

I have two (!) in my family (DH's side), and although they are lovely people, I can't get on board with the name. I feel like ivegottago does.

Wet sorry. Like Percy a chinless wonder name.

I really like it!

I think it's awful both for a baby and a grown man.

I'm with caravanista. I think of the bear and then upper-class snobs. Sorry

I really it. Cute for a baby, cool for a teenager, charming for a adult.

*an adult.

I think it's a lovely name.

No, caravanista, I loathe it too - instant bullying.

Rupert the bear is fine but otherwise it just conjures up upper class twits

What she said ^^

YY, posh and wet.

Inevitably the child will be lispy and call himself Woopert.

I don't like it either, sorry.

There's quite a few about these days, so it's clearly on the up.

I like it.

DH uses it as slang for "public school boy", and not really in a kind way or jokey way. Don't know how widespread this is.

It just reminds me of

It just reminds me of Rupert the bear or Rupert Murdoch, i also think it sounds awfully posh, I much prefer Reuben.

Not keen. I think it's too self-consciously UM class.

I also think it has become a little too. arriviste these days.

But he'll if you like it go for it.

Hell not he'll

The only Rupert I know is a huge,black bouncer, definitely not posh and wet!

Posh and wet, sorry.
