Thoughts on Rupert

[Lolly2019]

Hi all,

Just wanted to get everyone’s opinions on the name Rupert??
Even I feel like it’s an old fashioned posh persons name but I just love it. All of my friends and family are not impressed.

Un - bear - able.
Sorry.

I really don't like it but it's your child

I quite like it (although I don’t think it’s a name I’d choose personally). I know a Rubert (yes - definitely spelt like that) who goes by Roo - which is quite cute for a small boy.

I like it. Like the nn Roo as well.

The bear. It's a no from me.

It's a typical posh boy type name and rather wet. We actually call them Rupert types...couldn't fight their way out of a paper bag!

Love

I like it - and not posh. I also like Arthur, Jude and Wilfred

Just awful. Agree it's a wet name. It's pretentious and just blah

It's terrible

I love it! Wanted to use it for my son but couldn’t.

Rupert is really manly to me.

Not keen, but love Rufus as an alternative.

I like it.

It's a no from me. Just not to my taste.

I love it but it is an old family name so that may be why.

A bit wet tbh

Not for me. It's posh & wet.

I LOVE it. I heard it a few years ago when a friend of a friends child was given the name and like others, I absolutely loathed it at the time but the more irrationally irritated I became by the name the more I said it and i now absolutely adore the name and If I could have more children and one were a boy I would absolutely use it. It is your child. Do not worry what others thinks. Names grow on people eventually anyway but for me it is a yes straight away!

I live love love love love it

really classic and deposits some people not LIKING It, it’s a really inoffensive name

Very pretentious.

Pompous and wet

I loved it but DH vetoed it

I picture a toff on his way to Eton tbh

I like it 👍

I love it
