[name_m]Hi[/name_m] everyone
In need of some feedback on the name [name_m]Rupert[/name_m] for my son - do you like it, what are your thoughts? He’s 3 weeks old and we are stuck.
We chose it because the meaning is special, we like the [name_f]British[/name_f] feel of it (and my husband is English) we live in [name_u]New[/name_u] [name_u]Zealand[/name_u] where it’s a pretty uncommon name and [name_m]Rupert[/name_m] [name_u]Bear[/name_u] is known, but not as popular (and the association is not something that bothers me).
But I had negative feedback from family, which has made me question whether I love the name enough myself to use it…
We were thinking [name_m]Rupert[/name_m] [name_u]Fox[/name_u] or [name_m]Rupert[/name_m] [name_u]James[/name_u] .
I love Rupert!! It is at the top of our boy list!! We are in Australia and I think it would be relatively well received here. We like Roo and [name_u]Bertie[/name_u] as nicknames!
Other names on our list are [name_m]Albert[/name_m], [name_m]Alvin[/name_m], [name_m]Frederick[/name_m] and [name_u]Robin[/name_u].
[name_m]Rupert[/name_m] is fabulous - sweet but solid, charming and vintage-cute! [name_m]Rupert[/name_m] [name_u]Fox[/name_u] makes it feel modern and bright. [name_m]Rupert[/name_m] [name_u]James[/name_u] gives it a classic air
[name_m]Rupert[/name_m] is great! I really like [name_m]Rupert[/name_m] [name_u]Fox[/name_u] out of your middle name ideas. [name_m]Rupert[/name_m] is distinct and grounded while still being cool and interesting. Go with what you love!
I love the name [name_m]Rupert[/name_m]! I really like the sound of it, and it feels very classic. I really like [name_m]Rupert[/name_m] [name_u]Fox[/name_u], a both modern and established combo.
Feels very [name_f]British[/name_f] to me, in the best possible sense. Probably because I love [name_u]Harry[/name_u] [name_m]Potter[/name_m] and the actor that portrays [name_m]Ron[/name_m] Weasley is named [name_m]Rupert[/name_m]!
I you want a nn, [name_u]Rue[/name_u] is really cute! Of course, if you don’t want one [name_m]Rupert[/name_m] is a great name on its own.
[name_u]Love[/name_u] [name_m]Rupert[/name_m]. If you love it that’s all that matters. I think it fits right in with all the older style names making a comeback.
I really like the name Rupert - I know two children called Rupert (one among my friends’ kids and one a cousin’s kid). It’s definitely a smart, slightly poncy but still very vibrant and fun name! My friend who has a Rupert is an Aussie married to a Brit. They almost only use Rupert but occasionally Rupes or Roo. Don’t let anyone talk you out of a name unless it’s because you’re about to accidentally make your kid have a joke name. I bet your family say something really annoying like, “he’s such a Rupert” or even “I really like his name” in a few years’ time or else they’ll be onto their other thing to b*tch about.
I think you should go for Rupert but names in similar vein that can work in this part of world too: Darcy, Hamish, Sebastian, Henry, or Curtis.
Oh my goodness [name_m]Rupert[/name_m] is darling ! I feel like it has special significance for you so I wouldn’t hesitate if it’s the name you love. [name_m]Rupert[/name_m] [name_u]Fox[/name_u] feels brave and daring , [name_m]Rupert[/name_m] [name_u]James[/name_u] feels more balanced or expected.
I love the nickname [name_u]Rue[/name_u]
