• Rupert or
• Rory

Already have a boy called Noah. I love his name and really struggling to find another boys name I like. Have a feeling No.2 will be another boy!
Which is your favourite of the above 2 names? And why?
I have reservations about Rupert due to a few "Rupert the Bear" responses.
Many thanks :-)

My friend has a Noah and Ruben

anitagreen · 18/10/2018 20:56

Rory but I prefer Rowan so much I know it's not on your list lol

astridx · 18/10/2018 20:56

Rory and Noah sound lovely together!

Starlings27 · 18/10/2018 20:57

Is Robert too mainstream? Or Robin?

SleepingStandingUp · 18/10/2018 20:57

Well there's Rory the Lion on kids telly so I wouldn't rule one out for that reason.

I like Rupert, shortened to Roo. It's more of a "classic" name like Noah.

Howe er Rory is cute too

Love Rory. Rupert always reminds me of the 'bear' or a very posh boy I used to know (he wasn't nice).

MrsLettuce · 18/10/2018 21:05

Noah and Rufus

Shadow1234 · 18/10/2018 21:09

Rory by a mile. Dont like Rupert I'm afraid.

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 18/10/2018 21:12

No contest Rory

LucyFox · 18/10/2018 21:24

From your choices I prefer Rupert but have you considered Reuben?

DramaAlpaca · 18/10/2018 21:27

Rory by about a hundred miles.

Hooli · 18/10/2018 21:30

Ralph??

Hooli · 18/10/2018 21:30

Or Rafe?

WisestIsShe · 18/10/2018 21:32

Reuben

afishnotabird · 18/10/2018 21:32

I was going to suggest Ruaridh before I read your OP, so I’d vote Rory

notacooldad · 18/10/2018 21:33

I hadn't opened your post bu my first thought was Rory.
If we had another boy I would have chosen that. I kind of regret not picking it for DS1

5BlueHydrangea · 18/10/2018 21:33

I thought Rory from your heading so pleased it's there! Noah and Rory go together I think. Sort of square - 4 letters each!

RavenWings · 18/10/2018 21:34

Rory, hands down. Rupert doesnt even come close, too poncey imo.

NorthernRunner · 18/10/2018 21:35

I love Rupert and Rory. Also love Percy.

Noah and Rupert
Noah and Rory
Noah and Percy
Noah and Robert

Incidentally if it’s a girl I think Noah and Ruby is lovely 😊

AliceRR · 18/10/2018 21:35

I love Rory but it’s very “now”

Petalflowers · 18/10/2018 21:36

From your title, I was going to suggest Reuben.

From,your list, Rupert.

Peachbubble · 18/10/2018 22:02

I vote for Rupert

Sunflower321 · 18/10/2018 22:21

Rupert is nicer than Rory.

CountFosco · 18/10/2018 22:24

Rupert goes with Noah better than Rory does. I was going to suggest Robert.
