We have a Rupert and are expecting another little boy THIS MONTH and need name help! We knew we wanted Rupert for our first born as soon as we knew he was a boy and even had things embroidered with his name on etc before he was born. This time round though we can't find a name that feels like it has clicked the same way! Please help.

I love Oscar but it's too popular for my liking. Same with Arthur and Henry. Love them but would prefer something not in the top 10 at least.

We both love Robin but think it's too similar to Rupert?

So far on our list we have
Elliot
Edison
Orson
Atticus
Archer
Albert
Flynn

But none of them feel like the one! Maybe one of them will click once baby is here. What does everyone think? Any other suggestions? My OH has vetoed Jasper/Casper and Walter.

I love Robin with Rupert! It’s only the first initial that’s the same, I think they’re different enough to use Robin, personally. I also like Elliot, Albert and Flynn. Albert works particularly well imo!
Or I like these with Rupert too -

Victor
Leon
Julian
Tristan

You can’t call the second child Robin! Robin and Rupert are the same name. They are both forms of Robert.

SausageRoll2020 · 07/07/2024 16:16

Robin and Rupert are both variants of Robert so not really suitable for siblings.

I do like Jasper, but as it's veto'd other names than give me similar vibes to Rupert are;
Charles
Nathaniel
Maxwell
Benedict
Alexander
Henry
William

Firsttimebabymummy · 07/07/2024 16:26

Rupert & Ben?

Mumofgirls2017 · 07/07/2024 16:55

I like all your choices apart from Edison. I would have gone for Jasper or Casper shame that’s vetoed… Cassian?

I only like Elliot from your list. Oscar is OK though.

Orlando goes nicely with Rupert.
I love Rupert, btw.
