Rupert Louis or Louis Rupert

[mummyofboys30]

Which do you prefer?
I love both names, despite such negative comments about Rupert in family/friends.
Ta muchly :-)

Louis is lovely, not so much Rupert though OK for a middle.

It's taken me 3 attempts to not read "Rupert Louis" as "Robert Louis" as in Stevenson. In reality though, unless hyphenated, how often are middle names used beyond naming a baby and getting married?

I love both names so can see your dilemma! But the gorgeous Rupert just gets the edge for me - Rupert Louis.

I agree - Rupert is lovely and strong!

Louis is often pronounced the French way, Lou-ee, as well as the German/American way, Lou-is.

So definitely Rupert Louis.

Rupert is a bit of a silly name though if I'm honest. Makes you think of old fashioned upper class twits like Bertie Wooster. Or Rupert the Bear of course.

Really like Louis though.

Louis is lovely.

Rupert is a chinless, milksop of a man. Not a name I’d plump for in a million years.

I also read Robert Louis....took me a while to see Rupert.

Not overly keen on Rupert. There are a couple at my son's pre-school though

Both are lovely.
Rupert Louis has the edge for me though.

Rupert Louis definitely.

Rupert

Don't like Louis and would get annoyed with the different pronunciations

Much prefer Louis, not keen on Rupert tbh.

Rupert Louis

Rupert is a chinless, milksop of a man
The only Rupert I know is a huge bouncer, definitely not chinless

I love Rupert but I think it’s a hard name to carry off. I love Louis as well.

I’d go for Louis Rupert

Thank you so far everyone. Seems we are about 50/50 for Rupert Louis or Louis Rupert though at the minute!

Rupert Louis - I think Louis works well as a middle name. It's my nephews middle and it ties his name together really well.

Edging slightly towards Rupert Louis now I think.
