Rupert Cosmo _______

[Tobe]

Hey,

So we're 2 weeks away from our due date and beginning to (mildly) panic over names.

'Yay' or 'Nay' on the current front-runner if it's a boy...

Rupert Cosmo

?

Don't be cruel.

We have Cosmo as a middle name for many reasons, one of which was that it was a nickname for one of us when younger. The first name is very normal which kind of dilutes it.

But honestly, call your son what you want to! I don't think names are linked to 'class' any more to be honest. I think it has a nice rhythm to it.

To be honest, I was teased at secondary about my names, many children are. I love them ( the Orlanda is romantic and the furiosa describes me perfectly..). But I didn't care, in the welter of misery about other things it wasn't important. If you like them, go for it.

I hadn't even thought of it as sounding posh until reading these comments

Really? Rupert Cosmo screams 'posh' or 'I really want to be posh' to me.

I named my dc the names i liked obviously but I also gave a lot of thought to how the name would sound as a toddler, child, teenager and adult.

For me personally, Rupert is Rupert the bear. I don't know any Ruperts. I'm not from the UK though.

I'm laughing that Rupert Cosmo doesn't sound middle class

Also why the need for a NN? Rupes, poops, Roo ( the kangaroo) just no

I love the name combination, yes it sounds posh but so what?
