I love this name! It’s strong, sexy and masculine and always reminds me of the handsome blond Dutch actor Rutger Hauer although funnily enough I can only picture someone who looks similar to Hauer with this name.

This name is pretty unique but it has good vibes.

I don't like this name. It sounds silly and stuffy, and whenever I hear it I picture Don Imus and his comments about the Rutgers women's basketball team.

Converted to IPA, it should be: /'rʏt.ɣər/ [noted -ed]
