What do people think of Rudy?

[samuel447]

I am due with my 3rd child this month and I really do love this name.. but have reservations about how well received it will be. I don't want to saddle my son with a name that potentially could cause problems..

I wonder if people are more aware of it as a proper name sice edith bowman had a rudy last year?

Really don't like Rudy/Rudolph, and that's before I thought about the 'rude' similiraty...

funnily enough it's a name we're seriously considering and it goes really nicely with our other childrens names. My DH really loves Reuben which I am not that keen on but perhaps I could persuade him that if we use Reuben we could use Rudy. Funnily enough your other post is another name we're considering. You have good taste.

I agree with Firawla - it sounds like rude!

Really awful imo. I don't like Rudolph at all and also agree that it's too close to Rude!

thanks onemoretimetday.. due today! but pretty sure we have decided it will be Eli.. close call but think the 'rude' comparisons make me slightly hesitant over 'rudy'.. love both though..
