Another lovely boy.

[Chimbleys]

Hello. I have a 3yr old called Rufus (Ru) and am expecting another boy in January. We have gone round and round with names and there's nothing that stands out.
Any ideas please?

Love Oscar, currently choosing between that and Rufus for DS2!
Also love cosimo and Jasper which DH doesn’t but I think are they same ‘type’.

Oscar is great.

I mentioned Oscar to my husband the other night because it's a name I haven't heard for a while! Oscar and Rufus are great together!

Oscar is good.

Rufus & Malachi
Rufus & Ned
Rufus & Simeon
Rufus & Max
Rufus & Angus

Rufus and Fred is an awesome combo!

I have a Reuben who is a Reu! Our dog is Oscar

Other names we liked were:
Kit
Eli
Otis
Woody
Jasper
Ezra
Phinneas

Oscar was my first thought too.

Rufus and Oscar are lovely!

BF has a grandson called Oscar. It doesn’t get shortened and not too many of them about.

Tobias.
Finlay
Leon
Felix

Instead of Fred what about Freddie when he is young. I had an Great Uncle who was a lovely man.

Felix.

Congratulations! It also depends what your surname is of course as he won't be with his brother permanently!
Rufus and Edward (Ru and Ed)
Rufus and Toby
Rufus and Max
Rufus and Marcus (bit samey)

My fave is:
Rufus and Alex (Ru and Al)

I am leaning towards Oscar but it was the name of a family pet in the past. Is this a problem?

No, I think it's fine to use it. My gran had a (mean) cat called Oscar. I'd still think of it as a human name.

Oh gosh not Fred. That’s one big short straw after Rufus.

How about Ferdinand? It’s got the slightly unusual vibe of Rufus, and Ferdy isn’t too far from Fred?

Jago
Fraser
Bruno, for a theme!

No, love Oscar and goes well with Rufus

Oh sorry missed that Jago is your dog!
