Interested to know people’s opinions on this name for a boy....maybe it’s my hormones, but I woke up a week ago and it’s all I can think of!! 😂

I know a 4 year old Rudy. It’s not my cup of tea but if you like it!

Saffrona · 07/03/2019 19:49

Sorry I don’t like it.

Reminds me of the serial killer brother on Dexter!

I considered Rudy for DS, but I don’t know if I could imagine a teenage Rudy.

Love The Specials, love Rudy. Do it!

Doubleorquits · 07/03/2019 19:51

A rudy is what you do when children fart. It's not even a name.

Doubleorquits · 07/03/2019 19:52

Hey Rudy, Have you just done a rudy?

OwThatsGottaHurt · 07/03/2019 19:52

Love it. Reminds me of my German textbook in school. Ich heiße Rudy und ich bin13 Jahre alt. With a pic of a gorgeous curly headed German kid Smile

Tavannach · 07/03/2019 19:52

I really like it. Just give him a more conventional middle name in case he wants to be an accountant.

Doubleorquits · 07/03/2019 19:53

It's not even a nice name.

Springisallaround · 07/03/2019 19:53

I quite like it!

Middle name will be William.

Still not 100% convinced, but it suits my style. It IS in fact a name, but it’s anbiguity appeals...

It's not even a name.

It's a common enough name in Austria/Germany!

Rudy William is a great name

Pooshy · 07/03/2019 20:06

My DH wanted us to use Rudy

I think it's a cute name but misleadingly German

It would be like calling your son Pierre but not being french

So I vitoed!

stepup123 · 07/03/2019 20:10

I quite like it!

Springisallaround · 07/03/2019 20:10

I do think of Rudi in Gavin and Stacey. I still think it's a nice name for a boy.

RuthW · 07/03/2019 20:11

Rudolph shortened to Rudy yes. Rudy on it's own no.

I can't get past the song.
