Rupert, Wilfred or something else

[Minibea]

Please help! I’m booked for a section in a fortnight and we still don’t have a name chosen

Current faves are Rupert and Wilfred - middle name probably Henry but neither of us feel totally convinced about either of the front runners and we can’t seem to make a firm decision, now we’re not sure whether that’s because neither is “the one”. We already have a DD called Clara and we chose her name early on, never wavered and still love it.

Mumsnetters please cast your votes! I know neither are top 10 names and might be a bit marmite so if you hate both and have no helpful suggestions for alternatives feel free to keep your opinions to yourself!

Wilfred!!
Wilf is a nice nn, not sure there is a nice nn for Rupert.

They probably would OP. DS gets called Edward all the time by strangers. He’s good at correcting them

Wilfred is one of my fav names

Wilfred

If my baby had been a boy, it was to be Wilfred or Wilbur. But turned out she was a girl 😂

I like both names but Rupert is wonderful alongside Clara and Rupert Henry is so handsome.

OP, If you like both Rupert and Albert, what about splitting the difference and using the classic Robert? It's less popular now but still used by all ages and you could call him "Bertie".

I really like Wilfred. Never been a fan of Rupert but I love Rufus which you may like. Eric?

I love Rupert and l like Wilfred (especially Wilf). I love Rufus too. They may be growing in popularity, but are hardly what you'd call popular.
