baby boy still nameless! Bertie, Rufus, Frankie???

[cherrylola]

DP and I just can't agree! We have a very short list and even that we don't agree on!
Middle name is set at DP's dad passed away recently, but the initial is causing problems. Middle name 'A' surname 'T' so we would have;
FAT (Franklin nn Frankie)
RAT (Rufus nn??)
(Albert nn Bertie)

I love Bertie but DP hates it.
I like Franklin/Frankie but I can't possibly give him the initials FAT.
Rufus I like too but not sure about a nn, Roofie? Isn't that a date rape drug??

This poor baby will never have a name!

Any thoughts on the above conundrum or other suggestions we might like? Or even second middle name suggestions to break up the awkward initials?

The middle and surname is ...Anthony Talbot.
Brother is Edward nn Ted/ Teddy.

Thank you! Let's give this baby a name for Xmas

Rufus Anthony frank talbot. Raft.

Roo/roof

Or a totally random nn.

I think these would sound nice...

Rufus Anthony Franklin Talbot
Rufus Anthony Joseph Talbot
Rufus Anthony Charles Talbot
Rufus Anthony David Talbot
Rufus Anthony Jacob Talbot
Rufus Anthony Hugo Talbot
Rufus Anthony Bertram Talbot
Rufus Anthony James Talbot

Albert with nickname Albie rather than Bertie?

I'll be so proud if you go for Red ! It's what Rufus means anyway so his hair colour really doesn't matter. Don't forget to tell us what you decide.

I love the name Rufus, but for a pet. How about Rupert, or Rudi?

We've settled on Rufus, thanks for the advice! Nn tbc as we settle into using it

Good choice!

Good name.
