Name of the guy who plays Ron in the Harry Potter movies, Rupert Grint.

Famous bearer Rupert Grint. He's a very talented actor and a natural comedian. He's hilarious!

Name of talented British actor, Rupert Everett!

Rupert Pupkin is the name of Robert DeNiro's insane character in the film The King of Comedy. But isn't there also a bear...

Yes, Rupert Bear is a cartoon character created by Mary Tourtel. Rupert is also the name of Stewie's teddy bear on the TV show Family Guy.

Rupert von Trapp (born 1911) was the eldest son in the famous von Trapp family, whose story was immortalised in the musical "The Sound of Music". He is represented in the movie by the character Friedrich.

Rupert Graves is an actor who was in A Room With a View, Maurice, and Different For Girls, among other films.

This name has really grown on me! I used to think it was so odd but I now like it so much I think if I have a son in the future I will name him Rupert!

Rupert Giles was the name of Anthony Stewart Head's character in Buffy the Vampire Slayer.

I love this name! It's so cute!

Rupert Penry-Jones is Captain Wentworth in ITV Jane Austen Season's "Persuasion". Talk about PHWOAR!

I know it's German, but this name has always had a very British feel to me. Rupert Grint and Rupert Everett somehow have the ability to make it seem like a very cute name.

This name rather makes me picture an elitist British family member from around the 1950s, but it's always better to have an upper-class sounding name than a lower-class sounding one. A guy with this name won't sound like an insufferable brute. But no, I don't like the sound, and any nicknames are out of the question.

I like this name; it can bring to mind both the image of a cute young boy and a strong, settled man. I think it's important for a name to fit throughout your life, so I think it makes a good name. If you don't like it as a first name, it can always work as a middle name.

Could easily be confused with the more common Robert.

Rupert Murdoch is a businessman and media mogul. However, due to his womanizing nature, he has kind of ruined the name for me.

Rupert Brooke was a poet. He died at the age of 28 of septicemia while on a boat.

Rupert Friend is a talented British actor who has been in movies such as The Young Victoria, Pride and Prejudice, Cheri and The Boy in the Striped Pajamas. He is also known for dating British actress Keira Knightly who he starred with in Pride and Prejudice.

Like half the people who shared info, I'll just say that I love Rupert Grint and that the name's starting to grow on me (though I'll always think of it as a redhead name). It's German, but it sounds very English to me.

Rupert Charles Wulsten Bunny (1864-1947) was an Australian painter.

I think Rupert is a pretentious name. It screams snobby British man.

Bleh. This is a name that snobby British parents like to use on their sons. Plus I really despise Rupert Grint and Rupert Murdoch.

Rupert sounds very characteristically upscale British, like Nigel or Winston. An American child named Rupert would probably get a few funny looks. It's a really cute yet strong name, though. I'd use it for a pet in a heartbeat, and possibly as a middle name for a son.
