Re: Rupert
Very interesting to see it catching on in the UK. Previously it was identified as posh and passe for humans and cutesy for followers of children's picture books and stories. Rupert the Bear! Tricky for a child, unless he was the next in line to be Duke of Bearshire and the 27th to have Rupert as his fn. I wonder if the comic strip still exists.
I find it a pleasant change from Robert, but I don't know what Rupert boys get as a nn.
