Rudy

[Sessy19]

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 wouldn't.

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

My son has a Spanish name but we're not Spanish 🤷

I like Rudy.

I know a Rudy. Really lovely boy. I like the name.

Rudy Can't Fail

HMmm I just read Rudy Willy.....sorry

Best name ever...but I may be biased

Sorry ditto to the above, I was just going to post that. If i lived in a Germanic country fine but I wouldn’t in my kids school.

I like it! Would have had it on our list but it doesn't go well with our surname.

Aww, great responses. No proper reasons to not use it!! Ok, guess that’s one on our list...thanks all! 😊

Not sure, but know what you mean about waking up with a name in your head. Mine was Jacob years back, and certainly didn't go with our surname!

Hormonal op??

Love this name!!

Rudy (as in the Specials) is Rude Boy, and it's not really a compliment. Use with care in big cities

If however you are a Hapsburg and he birth certificate will say Rudolf, that association may not matter. Better in middle Europe than UK

I love Rudy- popular in Iceland too!

love

I quite like it you know. Rudy was the name of a character on a TV series I used to watch so I've known the name for quite a few years.

I know a Rudy, he’s a horrible child sorry!

We have a Rudi...go for it, I think it's a fab name!

Rudolph is a name and it's fairly popular among 60 plus year old German men.

But Rudy, especially in English, sounds awful and way too much like Rude-y!

I know two, they are both lovely boys and I've never heard a fart called a Rudy.

Better in middle Europe than UK

Especially as 'rude' is not a (negative) word in other languages!

Not only farts but anything that's rude can be called a 'Rude-y'!

And Rudy Willy is even worse imo, sorry. Too much scope for teasing.

Love it and still wish I had used it.

I like Rudy 😊
