Dudley is atrocious and too reminiscent of Dudley Dursley. Ridley is marginally better but still bad.

I don’t like either of them. I don’t like the Rid part in Ridley and I can’t help but think of the terrible Dudley Dursley from Harry Potter. They are both masculine to me.

Dudley is my middle name, and for the longest time I resented it. However, I've recently became accustomed to it, as it has special reasonings for being my middle name. I could never see it on a girl; it's much too masculine. The same goes for Ridley, not that I care much for it anyways. To either name, I prefer Rodney on a boy (though unrelated, these names remind me of Rodney, for some reason).

Dudley sounds too much like a cartoon name to me. I kind of like Ridley for a boy.

Both male and I really don't like either.

I can't warm up to either of them. Both are surnames, which I don't enjoy as fns unless it is to keep a good family tradition going. Dudley is perhaps worse, because it would shorten, naturally and unfortunately, to Dud.

Both sound rough and serious, thus very masculine. I would never call a girl Ridley, and I might grow to like it on a boy. However, I dislike Dudley.

Masculine, no question, vomitous otherwise. Dudley is preferable.

These are both horrendous. In one, you’re calling someone a dud. In the other, you’re saying you should get rid of them.

Both are male to me and I'm not a fan of either one.

Dudley Do-Right, actor Dudley Moore and filmmaker Ridley Scott are my most powerful associations for these names.

kinda funny, too cartoony.

Both male, don't like either
