Torin or Rudi

[hatsnscarf]

Which do you prefer?

Torin

Rudi will be rude-ee Rudi etc at school

Torin

Definitely Torin

Toruń.
Although I know two Rudi/y's and neither are ever made fun of because of their name.

I really like both, but would probably go with Torin.

Torin!

Rudi is awful and Rudolph worse.

Definitely Torin.

Rudi is too rude - y!

I love both but I think I slightly prefer Torin.

Torin

Rudi!!! By a mile. It’s a brilliant name. A couple down our street used it sand we’d never heard of the name. We’re jealous now and wish we’d thought of it first. Definitely a ‘grower’ on people. He gets so many complements on name and has never been teased yet

Torin sounds too like Torid to me. Also could be shortened to “Tori”- conservative. Puts me off but might not you

Rudi

I don't much like either, but Rudi is truly awful.

Thor, pronunciation Tor, the Swedish way. I know a lovely Thor!

Great names, I've got Rudi on my list so that's my fave out of the both

Torin although I prefer Torbin

I love both op!

Torin. Gorgeous name and means Chief which may suit your baby. I know a lovely boy called Torin and he suits his name so well.

Torin is a great name, interesting but not unheard of. Rudi just reminds me of the word rude.

Thanks, everyone so far. Looks like Torin is a winner! I hadn’t actually heard of it until fairly recently and never heard it in real life, having taught in Scotland for over 10 years.

Has anyone met a Torin in real life?

Yes there’s a Torin in my Dds school. He’s gregarious, sporty and charming. Rudi is quite cool but is more open to attack as rude-y or if you’re around people who also wear tweed then ruddy like “the ruddy cheek of it ”

Rudy, but I personally prefer it spelt with a y

Rudy by miles. But with the y. I feel like the i makes a lovely name look chavvy.

@hatsnscarf yes I've met a couple. One spelled Torrin and one Torin. Torin is the better by miles 😃 Based south east

Torin. I do like Rudy too though.
