What do you think of our boy & girls name?

Really love this name but had some really negative opinions. It's the only name we both like and I've set my heart on it. Am I setting him up for and lifetime of teasing?

Girls we have a few more options but I don't know which is my favourite;

Delilah
Ivy
Edith (nn Edie)

Thank you:)

Rigsby in Rising Damp was a Rupert he hated it too

ScarletSienna · 09/01/2017 15:35

I know two young Ruperts and don't feel the name stands out. I like it. Also like Edith. Really dislike Seth.

Not keen on Rupert prefer Rufus or Seth ...i know what you mean about Sef but even where round here where the 'th' is almost extinct the the one I know is pronounced with the 'th'

Of the girls Edith/Edie would be my favourite

I love Rupert, much nicer than Seth which I've never really seen the appeal of.

I like Delilah too, and Ivy (getting popular though) and Edith (but not keen on Edie).

I love Delilah, I don't care about the bible associations ...I am not religious and the song does't bother me, I doubt any child in a playground would have ever heard the song before.
I like Edie but not Edith
I like Ivy but not Rupert.

Not Rupert the Bear or Delilah. Eden? Ivy ok .

MotherofA · 11/01/2017 00:07

It's lovely ! Who cares what anyone else thinks anyway ?
DP and I aren't telling anyone our baby name until she arrives because no one will tell us they don't like it then hahaha well that's the theory !
At least you aren't calling him McDonalds or something equally bizarre ... Grin

NoncommittalToSparkleMotion · 11/01/2017 00:12

I love Seth. Rupert, while cute, I just can't see on, like, a 12 year old.

I like Ivy best of the girls.

Staranise123 · 11/01/2017 09:37

Rupert is lovely and so much nicer than Seth which has such an ugly sound imo.

Happilymarried155 · 11/01/2017 11:29

Thanks everyone! Great to have the feedback the good and the bad 😀 I will let you know when it arrives xx

Delilah is gorgeous!

BertrandRussell · 11/01/2017 11:52

Do you actually want about 50% of people bursting into song when they hear your baby's name?

BertrandRussell · 11/01/2017 11:53

Particularly a song with that theme?

PaintingOwls · 11/01/2017 11:58

Delilah is a great and uncommon name. Ivy looks like you're trying to jump on the Evie bandwagon but are trying to be different. Edith is nice but I hate the nn.

17caterpillars1mouse · 13/01/2017 16:38

I love Rupert! From your girls list I like Ivy. I really dislike Delilah

marmitecheesetoast · 13/01/2017 17:45

I like Rupert, it's a nice classic name, although it is seen as a bit posh. If you like it go though go i'd say go for it.

I love Edith for a girl

KanyeWesticle · 13/01/2017 18:18

I like Rupert okay, but I love Reuben.
Edith is my favourite of the girls. Love it!

Kittykatmacbill · 13/01/2017 22:11

I have an Edith! Lovely name :-). It is fairly popular thought do know of about 6 across the city all under 5. Don't know any Ivys, and Delilah is a terrible terrible name. Sorry.

Rupert is nice though, don't think it would standout.

Waterfeature · 13/01/2017 23:00

Seth is dreamy.

Love Edith.

Not so much the others.

Izzyathome · 14/01/2017 01:12

Edith nn Edie is my favourite of your girl's names. Love it. Also like Delilah. Ivy is a bit meh for me, nice enough though.

I'm not keen on Rupert, a little bit wet for me. But a cool kid could pull it off I think? I like Roo as a baby nn. (Prefer Rufus?)
