Thoughts on the name Rudy

[Csang]

We're due to have a baby boy soon and I've been reaching out for help with names. I've currently fallen for the name Rudy but only like the shortened version, not Ruldoph.
What's people's thoughts on just calling him Rudy as his first full name? I was thinking Oscar as a middle name so if when he is older or maybe wants something more formal/ conventional then he could use that if desired? Thanks :)

Awful name

My cousins called farts rudys when we were little.

I dislike Rudy, though it is cute.

Other names have options of Rudy for a nick name..

Rupert Oscar
Rufus Oscar

Rhodes Oscar
Richard Oscar
Riley Oscar
Ralph Oscar
Bruce Oscar

Try to think of your future...

It's not my style but I don't mind it

However, Rudy Oscar together doesn't sound right to me...

I like it, but i would expect Hungarian/German heritage.

I love the Hruodwolf (famous wolf) meaning of Rudolf.

Randomly I met a Scottish Ruadhri who went by Rudy.

Rudy Ayoub on YT, - “when Arab Dads get a ransom call” -
should your son grow up to be as handsome, soft spoken and funny,
then you will have chosen his name well.

It's fine @Csang . Much nicer than the other posters' suggestions

Don't 'reach out' OP, just ask! 🫣 I'm not keen on Rudy. It's rude-y.

Pizza chain up here. That and Giuliani is what I think of.

LOVE it. Do it

Awful. Sorry

'Message to you Rudy'

I also think nudy Rudy

A Rude-y is a fart

I also like it, it reminds me of Rudy Cooper from Dexter (take that as you will, I like him!), and Buck's nemesis on Ice Age!

Not a name I'd pick OP, sorry. I couldn't get past the 'rude' connotations - I think it would make your child a bit of a target for teasing in school 🤷‍♀️

Jude is lovely, and has a similar vibe?

It's awful. Sounds like something is a bit rude. Please don't inflict that upon a defenceless baby.

I know a Rudy, and never thought 'rude', but a friend and I would say it made us think of 'A message to you Rudy'

I actually know brothers called Rudy and Oscar!

Great names

I really like it! I’ve taught a Rudy and and Rudi (Dutch heritage) who were both lovely boys.

This was my first thought as well so it wouldn't be my first choice of name.
RIP Terry Hall ❤️

I know 2. Both lovely very sporty boys.

I wouldn't saddle a defenceless child with the name that sounds like a rudey, someone rude!

I do know a German Rudolf but in German Rudi does not sound rude!

No

Just see Rude.
