Rupert is a male name in the United States, and has declined in use since the 1950s. There are approximately 1,000 people named Rupert in the US today.
The name Rupert's root letters are RP.
As the initial letter of patron, providence, Pope, and paternal, the peaceful letter P evokes an air of benign parental dependability. So when it occurs in names beginning with the racy, ribald, red-blooded letter R, it suggests an individual who manages to be both passionate and sober at the same time. The RP man is someone who -- although he may have a high emotional metabolism -- is unlikely to wear his heart on his sleeve. He carries himself with a quiet self-respecting air and reserves his passion for those moments when it will carry the most impact.
The RP’s natural affability lends itself well to dealing with all sorts of people and he can hold his own on pretty much any conversation topic But if the RP personality is defined by gentility, it comes with a cheeky sense of humor that often goes over the head of his companions. It 's hard to get an RP stressed out, which is why he's so good at solving other people's problems, but then again, Ruperts don't expend too much physical energy on other people’s issues. These are behind-the-scenes individuals who usually prefer to facilitate rather than direct.
Ruperts have a habit of getting involved in relationships with troubled individuals in an attempt to ‘fix them’. Some would call this meddling, but it seems to help the RP feel useful. Loved ones get used to being the unwilling recipients of his insistent advice, and rolling their eyes isn’t going to help either… he can be quite stubborn in getting his point across, even if his views on life are a little predictable at times.
The Ruperts’ inclination to share their wisdom makes them terrific advisors and business partners, and they often choose sensible careers like accounting or banking in which their calm presence instills confidence in their customers. And even though they’re not above the occasional foray into the more flamboyant, right-brained fields like acting and dancing, it’s a rare RP that will be caught flaunting his feelings in public unless he’s deeply outraged or deeply in love.
Talking of love, it usually comes relatively late in the lives of Ruperts for the simple reason that they don’t put out their romantic welcome mats until they’ve achieved a certain level of success in their work. For like many people whose names begin with the letter R, they’ll pursue their careers, their travels, and their hobbies with far more ardor than they pursue their love affairs. But if the magic moment finally arrives, Ruperts will blithely give up all these distractions for their new love. His mate can expect a well-feathered nest and all the benefits of being partnered to a stable and always dignified soul.
