Funnily enough, I've always been a fan of it actually. I find it very noble, regal and English sounding. It's quite a posh name, but I do like it.

I think of Rupert Giles from Buffy the Vampire Slayer, which is not a bad thing, but to me it's too British.

I dislike it, and I'm British. I much prefer Robert.

Rupert confuses me! Robert has been in my family for 200 years so it feels warm and comfortable, but I've never known a Rupert. And I've got two very different associations with it: the admirable little bear in the English children's books, and 17th-century royalty: Rupert of the Rhine, fighting the English civil war with his little lapdog in tow. And then there's the nn problem, Ru or Roo being unpleasing. Can't get my head around Rupert.

Stewie Griffin's teddy bear, lol

I've been absolutely gushing over Rupert lately. It's such a silly, stately little name. I love it.

I don't like it. I consider it to be a nerdy, fussy name, the name of name a mean, snobby boy might have in the Harry Potter series.

I like Rupert. However, I probably wouldn't use the name myself.

It sounds very British. I can't imagine an American with that name. We seem to prefer Robert.

It's true I never think about it but it's a lovely name. And it conjures up the image of a British man for me, probably because of the actors.

I like it. I use it in combos a lot too, but that's probably because it's my brother's name, so it makes a good middle.

I love Rupert. It's my favorite male name.

I feel like I use it all the time in all my combos! I looooove Rupert. I would definitely use it myself but I get the feeling it's not a name most North American husbands/boyfriends go for. It really seems like the kind of name that make women go "awww!" and men just roll their eyes at. I don't know if many around here adore it, it seems to be a bit of an acquired taste. But once you go Rupert you never go back.
