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 really like it and it was going to be the name of our youngest but I couldn’t go through with it, it didn’t feel like a proper name even though it is. I’ve no issue with shortened names and I don’t buy that you need a long name for a birth certificate but somehow I just felt that it might lead to teasing.

Love it

Rudy Willy

Beats the Rory Lyons ds went to school with!!

Isn’t a Rudy a fart ? So Rudy Willy as a name is probably a little much ???

I don’t really like Rudy as a name but it’s probably just not my taste - I don’t hate it.

I like Rudolph/Rudolf and Rudy is fine as a short form for those.

Rudy Willy

I love it. Suspect DH will veto though...we haven't discussed names yet!!

We’ve chosen William for my Dad. Who’s been known as Willie his entire life. Never been teased. I feel sorry for the children of those with such silly, petty minds!!! 😂😂😂😂

We reap what we sow. If you allow your child to be a bully, you incite teasing into your lives

@123Flopsy. You’ve commented a number of times, but I’m not suggesting to name your child. Your point has no value

I feel sorry for the dc with high value piss taking names tbh.

@Easter 😂😂😂

I love it! Was on my list for DS but DH vetoed it as he thought it was another name for fart!

I quite like it! Rudyard for long?

I’m quite surprised that it’s relatively well received. I hadn’t really considered any longer versions, but @MiniMaxi, I like Rudyard. I also like RudolfRudolph, and might add these for discussion with OH.

Thanks all 😊

The coolest kid I knew growing up in NorthLondon was Rudy, ( Rudyard) .

He looked so good in a hoodie, one of the first hoodies in the 80s. He could draw brilliantly and he was THE BEST KISSER!
Yes, go for Rudy op!

Ooh cross post with another Rudyard( much nicer than Rudolph imho)

He was British Jamaican, does anyone know if it’s popular in Jamaica?

I love it. I'm stuck with that song in my head for the rest of the day now.

We almost used it, DH is a big aka fan.

@sessy19 I have a super cool 8 year Rudi and teasing by the aforementioned silly petty minds has just never come up.
We even call him Rudes for short! It’s just a really cool name so I say go for it!

@tothesea That’s awesome! Thank you for sharing 😊

@Ohyes, I would think it’s had it’s day in Jamaica, the Rude Boy revolution in the ‘70s was the stimulus for quite aggravated violence.

Rudyard is a brilliant name, but I just like Rudy or Rudi on it’s own. With our surname, it’s pretty cool too 😁

I’ve got a long way to go, yet, so I may have other ideas before too long but I’ve got girl names all wrapped up and it’s so hard to find a good boy’s name that isn’t

That said, Rudy moved into the top 1000 last year (2017 figs)

*that isn’t too popular

I think of Rudy Giuliani...

I ❤️ Rudy. Brilliant name.
