Poncey boys names but which one?

I like them both and think they are equal in ponciness.

Atticus a.k.a. Gus

Or

Rudyard a.ka. Rudy

I don't know which gender I'm having yet as only 15 weeks

Opinions, please.

atticus

ramonaquimby · 05/05/2009 12:59

how do you get Gus as a nickname for Atticus? (it's At-ti-kus, not -gus!)

prefer Rudy

I like Rudy. Atticus is quite nice, but don't like the shortening of Gus.

I love them both - am obviously a big ponce! Like Gus and Rudy too.

19fran76 · 05/05/2009 15:12

Atticus rocks

bluebump · 05/05/2009 15:16

I like Rudy.

WinkyWinkola · 05/05/2009 19:09

Yes, I know it's Atticus (I can read) but Gus is pretty similar in ending and erm, even if it's not, that would be the shortening we'd choose.

Atticus - very cool

Don't like Rudyard, but like Rudy

troutpout · 05/05/2009 19:14

Oh i love Atticus ! ... If you must shorten it (Why?) i like Attie best rather than Gus...but Gus good too
Like rudyard too ( a lot) ... absolutely hate Rudy though sorry

IheartNY · 05/05/2009 19:21

Like Atticus better but Gus as shortening is not good. If I met an Atticus shortened to Gus I'd be muttering all the way home in a confused manner

If name will def be shortened to those options then go for Rudy

My DS is called Rudy - that's his full name, not shortened. He always gets compliments. It's a FAB name.

MrsKitty · 06/05/2009 10:24

Can't help but think of 3rd & Bird (CBeebies)and start whistling when I hear the name Rudy these days...Although that's more than likely because my DS is currently obsessed by it!

Atticus is a good name & not heard it much before - and I like Gus

rolledhedgehog · 06/05/2009 15:35

I like Gus but with Augustus as the 'proper' name or just using Gus as the proper name.

Like Rudy.

dinkymum · 06/05/2009 18:49

Rudyard, Rudy is lovely x

dizzydixies · 06/05/2009 18:51

Augustus with Gus is fab although I like Atticus and Rudy too

BottySpottom · 06/05/2009 19:08

I like them both a lot, though wouldn't have been brave enough to use either as a first name. Adore Atticus and have been sorely tempted to have another baby in the hope of being able to use it as a second name.

lotspot · 06/05/2009 20:15

I like Atticus - and don't see any problem with shortening to Gus if that's the shortening you like

I really like Rudy but not so keen on Rudyard - sorry!!
