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!! 😂

PerdHapley shocked you called your nephew's name absolutely horrible. I didn't like my husband's name when I met him but I wouldn't describe it in those words after I developed an interest in him. Rudy is not an offensive name. In different cultures there are names that could sound weird in the English language. Sheetal is a common Indian girl's name which sounds like sh*t all. Actress Madhuri Dixit's surname is said dikshit. In their language it means something beautiful and sophisticated. Madhuri has many fans and a small minority of immature socially underdeveloped individuals that will have a laugh at her name. Bullying is not cool and no parent should shy away from a name and let the bullies win.

I have a child with the exact name you said OP! He’s not far off a teen and holding up well so far

@ShivD...Wow, wonderful!! 😊

You mean, no one has bullied him into depression by calling him Rudey Willy??? 😂😂😂 I’m so glad to hear it. Perhaps the world is not full of weird, childish idiots after all! Who knew! 🤣🤣🤣

I just hear "rude", so I'm not keen.

I really dislike Rudy, it just sounds like someone rude!

I love it and it would have been on ‘my list’ if I could say my rs properly! Along with Rory and Rhodri.

I would just worry about the potential for teasing as it sounds like 'rude' and you know what kids are like. If you lived in a German speaking country it would be fine.

Also people may mishear/misspell it as the girls' name Ruby.
