Rufus?

[numberthree]

What do you think of the name? Thanks!

don'y like it. doggy and poncey

I really quite like it but am probably not game enough to use it. I would probably go with Rupert instead which I love - mainly because of the common use of Rufus for Rufus the dog. We know a little boy called Rupert and he is super adorable!

I know a little boy called Rufus. Everyone calls him Doofus behind his back.

Rufus is a dogs name!

I like it. My sister's gecko is Rufus.

I like it, dd3 would have been Rufus if she'd been a boy.

Sorry, I agree with idon'tlikesundays.

Too much possibility of being called Rufus the Doofus (and it does also sound like a dogs name)

To be avoided unless you are very rich and all your mates have equally poncey names...

sorry!!

It's DS1's middle name. I like it!

I like it too.

I also think of Rufus the Doofus. Sorry.

Sounds like a dog-a large one.

dog's name

i have a rufus and initially turned it down as an idea for both dog and doofus reasons but when he was born it really suited him. now a year on i'm still happy with it. i think its a kind of cheeky name (like him) and one that could suit any "type" of person - should he turn out to be a doctor/bank robber/nerd/smooth guy a few people have said the dog thing but most people say how cute it is - unless they're lying!
