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)

DH offered this to me as a name suggestion the other day....my first thought was 'DOG'...sorry!

No offence intended but yes!! lol
it is quite cute though, for a baby, not sure how well it would work in school situations though!!

Yes, it is a bit. But if you like it, use it. Reclaim it!!!!

I know a Rufus. It's fine.

PONCEY

i love rufus.james taylor(singer)has son called rufus,i think

so does david bellamy

rufus means redheaded

If he hasn't got red hair I think its a bit silly

that's just my op obv

my bil is a rufus.... he's bald

bald fine - how poncey is he?

extremely. off the ponceometer poncey.......

Love it here too.I never have associated it with dogs tbh

so I should have asked if it's a poncey dog's name! LOL

Yes - I tend to associate it more with dogs than with people. I like the name, it's a shame....

thought you were going to say Rover

there you go. bil called rufus is poncetastic. Be warty.

Thank you, control

Be wary

yup. be very wary (and warty) of my bil.....

I love it. But I have been awarded Worst Taste in Names on Mumsnet.

i quite like it, my dd is called, well guess I get quite irate when people come into the vets with dogs called LUCY, i say, um, thats my DAUGHTERS name. I had a moment today, someone had called her DS monty, i thougth it a nice name, but it is what i called my parrot, i refrained from telling her that though
