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.

How about Rupert and Ellis or Isaac?

IBegYourBiggestPardon · 10/07/2024 11:05

Before I'd even read your choice of names. Elliot was the one that came to mind

Hi Can I ask how old is your Rupert? And if at school has he had any bullying issues? I’m really keen on this name, but I am worried about bullying especially as our newborn is also mixed race - and fear in the English country side this will also make him a target.

bluebunnys · 08/02/2025 07:56

He'll be 7 months now!

BootballJoy · 08/02/2025 12:29

Some great suggestions from PP, really like Felix and Tristan- but if I were you I'd definitely go for Robin. It's a great boy's name and not too similar to Rupert.

Edited to add just seen it's a reactivated zombie thread - hope little one is doing well whatever you decided to call him:)

Alistair

Hugo
Joshua
Sebastian
Nicholas (Nico)
Darius
Miles
Tristram
Tobias / Toby
Barnabas

I like PPs Xavier suggestion a lot

Robin is a bit too twinny
Elliot is OK
I like Atticus, but it’s a slightly odd combo to me, if that bothers you
Albert has been done to death
Flynn too similar to the done to death Finn

The rest are a bit made up - I don’t like them much, but they are also a slightly weird mix with the fairly classic Rupert

CameronLasora · 08/02/2025 17:14

Rupert's a solid pick! For his brother, how about names like Felix, or Hunter?

Maximilian
Anthony

Just seen that this is a zombie thread. Did it say what OP went for?

IamnotwhouthinkIam · 10/02/2025 23:01

Hugo. Rupert and Hugo seem a natural pairing to me. Or Sebastian or Miles. None are my own personal taste - but imo all share the style of elegant sounding names that were previously seen as mostly upper class or “posh” only, but have now made it into the general Top 100 just like Rupert (but still aren’t as popular as classics like Arthur, Henry, Alexander etc- those are much more my cup of tea but I understand being hesitant).

I don’t hate your list (apart from Orson) but I don’t love it either - well, I do love Atticus but it’s very unusual compared to Rupert, (as is many of the rest of your list to be fair). I suppose if I had to pick one of them to pair best with Rupert, it would be Albert - but it is retro trendy and it also depends on how you feel about them having the same ending sound.
