I had this conundrum when naming my rabbit.

I went for Digby

Rufus is better. Digby is awful.

Love Digby, but yes a bit cruel for a baby
Rufus better for baby

I love Digby - very cool name. And there is Digby Jones - head of the CBI (formerly) who didn't look anything like a dog and was very intelligent sounding when commenting on important things on the news.

I love Rufus and wanted it for DS2 but DH said no. Not keen on Digby at all.
