Hi,

I already have a Rory, could we name DC Rudy or is it too similar?

Thanks!

ooops, have put the two spellings we are considering but think we prefer Rudy.

I actually think they sound great together! Maybe practice calling Rudy and if Rory replies, they're too similar?

I don't think they are too alike no. if you like it go for it. I do like both names, I think i prefer Rudi as a spelling though.

One thing to consider is accidental portmanteau-img the name.
I have a Ruby and DSis has a Rory. It's been known that if I have both and am shouting them back at the park (or similar) that I shout Ruaraidh by mistake (instead of "Ruby,Rory") Blush

I know loads of people who have DC with first names with the same first letter -including me- and I think it's cute.
Rory and rudy are lovely.

Rudy would be fine with Rory

Not too similar, no.

They are very cute together.

Rory is lovely but Rudi (Rudolph) sounds like someone rude, a rude-y!

I think a little too similar.
