Re: Rupert
in reply to a message by RoxStar
You never know... Rupert Grint (Ron Weasley in the Harry Potter movies) has certainly increased the name's recognition in the US, even if only a bit. I personally know two preteen girls who swoon over young Mr. Grint, and could be influenced thereby to use the name on a son in ten years or so, especially if the young man transitions to a successful adult career.
You never know.

lol, one never knows, do one?
I've never seen the Harry Potter movies so I was not aware of Rupert Grint. The only Ruperts I know of are Murdoch, Holmes (The Ina Colada song) and this old radio commercial for a used auto-parts store (probably a chop-shop, now I think about it) which featured a goofy country-bumpkin character named Rupert. "Hey thay-er!" he'd shout to start the ad.
