I really like Rudy - I would maybe make it short for Reuben as I suppose it’s quite a strong flavour so options are good

You can’t go wrong with Joseph

Hugo is nice too, v fashionable

Jasper is OK

Robin is nice but prefer for a girl

Rupert.. - no, I just think Rupert Bear / cliche posh boy

Bernard - NOOOOO truly grim

SkaneTos · 13/12/2023 22:27

I think all those names are nice.

My favourites are Hugo, Joseph and Rupert.

Pemba · 13/12/2023 23:24

Joseph

mdinbc · 13/12/2023 23:28

I have a Joseph. Be warned that a lot of people will shorten it to Joey or Joe.
Mine doesn't mind, but I have always used his full name.

Holidayhell22 · 13/12/2023 23:29

Rupert.

staybyyou · 13/12/2023 23:40

I like Joseph (I love Joey), Jasper and Robin.

Aquamarine1029 · 13/12/2023 23:41

The only one I like is Joseph.

DramaAlpaca · 13/12/2023 23:47

I like Joseph and Jasper very much.

The others I don't like at all.

resm · 14/12/2023 03:44

Joseph.

coldcallerbaiter · 14/12/2023 03:46

Joseph and Jasper

AdaColeman · 14/12/2023 04:31

I like them all, so it's difficult to pick a favourite, but Jasper Hugo and Bernard would be my top three.

octoberfarm · 14/12/2023 05:18

Love Jasper, Robin and Joseph!

greyhairnomore · 14/12/2023 05:20

Joseph

Mumofgirls2017 · 14/12/2023 07:27

Jasper, also like Rupert, Rudy, joseph

Highlyflavouredgravy · 14/12/2023 07:29

Rudy is horrendous as is Bernard.

The others are fine. Hugo is great.

Doublebiscuit77 · 14/12/2023 07:30

Robin. Also like Rupert, Hugo and Jasper. Joseph isn't bad, don't like Joe much though.

BANANABANANABANANABANANA · 14/12/2023 07:32

Joseph and Robin are lovely

redlavender · 14/12/2023 07:37

Robin is nice!

Rudy sounds like someone rude - a rude-y. I don't like it at all.

I'm also not a fan of Rupert.

ginteio · 14/12/2023 08:48

All lovely names, you will not go wrong with any of these

But if I really have to choose I would go by Hugo, my favourite of this list; but the others are absolutely great names too, solid and warm, or charming and with elegance.

hisen · 14/12/2023 14:29

First thing Rudy makes me think of is Rudy Geude... it's literally only time I have heard that name so I wonder if it will be same with others too and that's the association.

I think Joseph or Hugo!

redlavender · 14/12/2023 14:31

Don't others hear Rude when they see Rudy?

Some people call farts 'rude-ys'

KirstenBlest · 14/12/2023 14:40

Jasper - ok, would use it for a dog
Robin - ok, prefer Robert
Hugo - ok
Joseph - ok
Rudy - a bit different
Bernard - a bit different
Rupert - bear

Bernard is the one that stands out as not currently trendy, so that's the one to pick

shoopshoopdedoo · 16/12/2023 00:31

Jasper - really dislike, least favourite
Robin - OK
Hugo - not keen, very popular
Joseph - OK
Rudy - really dislike
Bernard - like, my favourite
Rupert - not keen
