[Opinions] Rufus
I am loving Rufus at the moment. I can't get enough of it. I think it's surpassed Caspian/Casper and Ignatius on my list. I'm thinking that it's not going to go down well, I don't think it is a very well liked name but I don't think that it bothers me much!1. What would you think if you met a little Rufus?2. What would you name brothers and sisters of Rufus?3. What middle name would you pair with Rufus ____ Stewart Arnold4. What names work for potential siblings with Rufus? Daphne, Theodora, Winifred, Rowena, Wilfred, Willoughby, Caspian, Casper, Ignatius

I really can't stand Rufus. It sounds blunt to me. Makes me think of a grey-haired man in his 40s. Or a cheeky fox. I can't tell whether there was a story with a fox named Rufus when I was little.Rufus siblings could beAbner

VitaThe siblings names you suggested:Daphne - Kind of works... as of sound and looks, but of course the origin is quite different, and I'm the type of person who prefers siblings names with similar origins
Theodora - Same as Daphne. Sounds good with Rufus
Winifred - Matching as to sound, but definitely not as to origin
Rowena - dislike sibsets with the same initials
Wilfred - an old man's name to me
Willoughby - a very complicated name opposed to the simple Rufus
Caspian - alright
Casper - Casper it too modern to me compared to the older Rufus
Ignatius - matches perfectly as to origin, but I absoluty loathe this name... sounds like a Pope's or some churchman's name. Very old-fashioned and stern.So my favorites are: Rufus & Daphne and Rufus & Winifred My middle name suggestions are:
