Honest opinions on Rupert?

[BergamotMouse]

I really love the name Rupert but can imagine people pulling a face behind our backs when we tell them.

What is the MN opinion on the name? Would the child grow up hating it? Anyone know any school aged Ruperts and do they pull it off?

It reminds me of a floppy haired checked trouser wearing toff.
I still associate it with Rupert the Bear but his peers might not.
I really don't get the love for Arthur. I remember it being an awful name and the one I knew was embarrassed to be called Arthur.
If course times change.

I love it! Not keen on Arthur though x

Rupert is truly awful OP, I'm so sorry.
Arthur is much nicer and more manly.

I love it but DP hates it :(

I adore it!

I put it in the same bracket as Rory, Theodore, Henry, Arthur, Albert - old and classic but still quirky.

I find it a bit wet. I prefer Reuben.

I read this 20 minutes ago and I still have Rupert the bear stuck in my head, so I had to come back and comment. Apart from the bear thing, it's cringingly posh, and a bit wet, and I say that as a person who is also quite posh. I much prefer Rueben. It's still posh, but doesn't have the bear problem.
