Britberry here. I did think of [name]Rupert[/name] [name]Bear[/name] but also of [name]Rupert[/name] Grint and [name]Rupert[/name] [name]Giles[/name], loving [name]Harry[/name] [name]Potter[/name] and [name]Buffy[/name] as I do!
I think it would be a fabulous name though. It fits in with the current trend here for reclaiming traditional, upper-class names without being as common as [name]Oliver[/name] and [name]George[/name] and the like. There should definitely be more Ruperts!
Not British (or American). I am familiar with [name]Rupert[/name] [name]Bear[/name] and still think it’s a lovely vintage name.
It’s a great name, and I don’t think [name]Rupert[/name] [name]Bear[/name] would be the first thing people think of. (I’m Canadian, but I know the show).
[name]Rupert[/name] was my top contender for our third son but my husband hated it because of the bear and [name]Rupert[/name] Murdoch. We went with [name]Jarvis[/name] instead 
I [name]LOVE[/name], [name]LOVE[/name], [name]LOVE[/name] [name]Rupert[/name] and the gorgeous nn of Roo. A gorgeous name in every way.

PS I am an Aussie and I love Rupert Bear, it couldn’t be anything but a plus to have him in the mix, I like Rupert Maas, Antques Road Show, he is a distinguished man.
Ditto this. I also think of [name]Rupert[/name] [name]Friend[/name], who played Mr. Wickham in Pride and Prejudice, and [name]Prince[/name] [name]Albert[/name] in The [name]Young[/name] [name]Victoria[/name]. The handsome devil…
