BingBongToTheMoon · 17/06/2021 11:41

No

Aquamarine1029 · 17/06/2021 11:43

Hell no.

HoldingTheDoor · 17/06/2021 11:58

No. It's awful and very wet.

Fnib · 17/06/2021 12:01

You/he will always be faced with strong opinions on the name I think.
As you asked, it's a no from me.
Sorry!

partyatthepalace · 17/06/2021 12:03

It’s alright, makes a change from all the Romans and Reubens

inappropriateraspberry · 17/06/2021 12:04

No. I always say it as Woo-pert for some reason.

Pickledpenguin · 17/06/2021 12:06

Absolutely yes I love it :)

giantwaterbottle · 17/06/2021 12:08

piglet81 · 17/06/2021 12:13

No. I do know one who is very sweet, but still no.

Hidingunderablanket · 17/06/2021 12:15

No, sorry. I knew one from a very posh family and the way the mum said it just grated on me. If you like the Roo sound then Reuben or Rudy are much better IMO.

Luckingfovely · 17/06/2021 12:15

Absolutely yes!

Fernie6491 · 17/06/2021 12:25

Rupert Rigsby comes to mind!

Fernie6491 · 17/06/2021 12:26

Oh and I called my first goldfish Rupert !

thecognoscenti · 17/06/2021 12:30

Awful. Absolutely not.

FluffMagnet · 17/06/2021 12:38

Yes!

SilverOtter · 17/06/2021 12:41

No.

Lindy2 · 17/06/2021 12:42

It's not one of my favourites. It always seems a bit of a damp squib of a name to me like Nigel and Brian.

However, Rupert Everett and Rupert Penry-Jones both clearly carry it off pretty well.

gemloving · 17/06/2021 12:49

I loved it but hubby vetoed and we now have a Hugo - very mixed opinions on Hugo on here as well haha

JustGotToKeepOnKeepingOn · 17/06/2021 12:51

No.

emptyplinth · 17/06/2021 13:31

Love it

romdowa · 17/06/2021 13:35
