Hmm, never considered that it rhymes with doofus! I don't think it would be a terribly big issue. I'm sure kids would grab onto that, but it would stop when he got a little older. That aside I think it would be a little hard of a name to bear in the US. It would take the right kind of person to wear it. I think if you loved it enough I'd say use it but give an easier middle name as back-up.

That said, I do like Rufus because I love rufous-sided towhees. It's a nice association.
