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.

Great name.

Wet.

Sorry OP I dont like it - it's really posh and if someone round here was called it (NW) theyd get a bit of a roasting throughout school I think

Wet. Same type of thing as Hilary and Francis. Chinless.

Un - bear - able.

Another who really doesn't like it.

I love it! Would have liked it for our son but couldn't have it.

Dislike.

It's terrible. Sappy.

Ha ha my friend Rupert is a kickboxing instructor. He's Jamaican and totally gorgeous in a slightly scary way so the wimpy posh kid stereotype doesnt come to my mind at all!

I love it but my husband hated it

I wanted too use it but family were down on it and kept saying Rupert Bear. Still think it’s a great name.

My sister has a baby Rupert. I was a bit a taken back when she announced the name but now love it as we adore the little chap.

Has grown on me.

I think it’s becoming more mainstream now. I know a 2 year old Rupert who is not from a “posh” family.

It's a yes from me because of the bear

Bear is the first association I make - we have a 7 year old Rupert close by who nn now has pretty much become Bear,

Posh boy name or teddy bear name

Bloody awful.
Try Rueben or Ruben or Rufus if you want to use the nn Roo/Ru.

Rupert and Daphne are the stock nicknames for new young officers in the Army. Lighthouse -in-the-desert types

It’s better than some of the names suggested on here.

I just picture tartan trousers,sorry

Horrible. Sorry.

I think it's just lovely and will age well

I adore it - one of my favourite boy names.

Great name.

I love it, I'm slightly biased though as DS is called Rupert. Always thought his nickname would be Roo, never once called him that, as Roops stuck pretty quickly.
