Is this opening him up to teasing...?

[Constantlurker]

Baby is due mid December. Not sure if it's a boy or girl yet but we love the name Rudy for a boy. I can't help worrying though that as it's so close to xmas he's inevitably get teased about the Rudolph connection. I wouldn't even think about it if baby wasn't due at xmas, but I worry! Is it mean? Do you think he would get teased badly?

Pretty common in London 10 years ago. Kids will tease about anything but Rudy is fine.

Rudy is extremely cool.

Rudy is great.
Don't overthink the Rudolph thing.

Rudy as in Rude-y?

It's what I call my kids when they're being rude. "Hey rudy rude pants".

Rudy The Red Nosed Reindeer 🎶🎵 .... it's going to happen.

I agree. The RUDE part of Rudy is just too strong in English.

I like Rudy. I don't think of Rudolph at all with this name, even with it a December baby. It's not like you're naming your son Rudolf. I say go for it!
