Give it to me straight: Is this a dog's name?

[theprecious]

Rufus

(I love it but eveyone in RL is a bit , for pfb due next week)

Although, I also like Rex!

I though you were going to say Fido

ime if it is used as a human name than it is usually used for someone "upper class" or whose parents want to be upper class...
know a fair few dogs that go by the name of Rufus, so, for me it will always be a dogs name.

IMO - all Rufus' are bloody gorgeous! - apart from the Radio 1 guy that was on Glastonbury but even he was quite acceptable! Go for it - I was ridiculed for wanting to call my unborn son Fergus - she was female so everyone just breathed a sigh of relief - I would've done it tho' I love the name!

lol

i know a couple of spikes (which is borderline)

but rufus is fine

(depends on surname though)

OMG, I thought when I read the title, "I wonder if it's Rufus!" I had a friend at school with a bull terrier called Rufus, he was hit by a car and died.

the school friend or the bull terrier?

My Dad is keen on Rover for ours if he's a boy. Quite like Rufus & I like Rory but it's quite doggy-like too.

I know several people called rufus - great name!

Its gorgeous. I hate it when people say 'its a dogs name'. But then again my son is called Rex ...

yes it sounds like a dog's name to me

sniggers at rex and ben

is posh. needs siblings called cosmo and cordelia.

I really like it and would have called this ds2 if I had been brave enough.

kind of but lovely for a child too.

rufus is gorgeous!i was torn between rufus and jed when i was pregnant,then had a girl

My Granny's dog was called Rufus. He ran away on Xmas Eve and we never found him (sob)

I think it's a great name though!!!!

I like it

lol twiglett

Rufus - as in Sewell (tall, dark and totally gorgeous).

as in Wainwright - (very talented singer).

I like it

Yup. A golden retreiver. Or a red setter.

Dog or boho posh

Think it depends where you live

No.
When I hear Rufus I think Rufus Sewell-dark, brooding good looks

no i think its lush, makes me think of tanned dark floppy haired men riding horses through the fields being heroic and just damn sexy. {oooohhhhhhhhhh i'm coming over all unnecessary}
