I know this is a totally random and strange question, but it is something I'd really like input on, sooo: If there's a guy (from Texas) named Rudy, who has a nickname that sounds like people are saying "rude" -- how would you spell it? Rude, Rud', Rood, or...?

My guess is Rood as in kangaroo. Roo is actually one of my nieces nicknames.

I'd do Rood or Rude. :)

I went to school in Texas with a guy who spelled it "Rude" but I don't know if that's the typical spelling.

Whether or not it's the typical spelling, it's at least some factual basis -- which is awesome! Thanks a million ♡

Glad to help. Good luck!

Nicknames in Texas don't have usually have phonetic or logical spellings. I'd say that nickname would probably be spelled M-O-O-N, Rud'.

I'm just kidding; I just thought it was funny that you specified that he was from Texas. I'd say just dropping the -y off Rudy makes sense, but nicknames are something that may never even have a "proper" spelling because it's just something informal that you or you friends use.

LOL admittedly, names down here often make zero sense. I have a handbook detailing several Texanisms, and odd nicknames is one of them. XD

For some reason it is really popular for boys under fifteen to go by their middle names where I lived in Tx.

That's awesome- I was born in TX and my fiancé’s first base post tech school/when we get married is in San Antonio, so I got him several semi-joke books about Texas colloquialisms which I, at least, found exceedingly humorous. -_^

So true about nicknames not necessarily having a "proper" spelling. I know several people who have nicknames no one knows how to spell, myself included. That's right, I don't know how to spell my own nickname. *shrugs*

I just watched The Stand on Netflix, so the "M-O-O-N" reference made me LOL.

Haha, yeah, I know -- I thought it was a bit superfluous, but then again it could matter, so what the hey. Love the Stand reference XDb

Thanks so much for the input, I really appreciate it!

I'm tempted to spell it "Ruud" like Ruud van Nistelrooij LOL

If it's pronounced like R-oo-d, then I'd personally spell it out as 'Rood or Rood' to indicate the non-standard meaning/pronunciation. But, tbh, I don't think there's one right way to spell it; nicknames like that are more phonetic than written. And if all else fails, Rude works. If you're writing a story or something, someone could comment on it, even.

Yeah, that's a good point. I also like the idea of having someone comment on it -- this is indeed for something I'm writing, so I might end up doing that! Thanks for the inspiration ;D

I'd go with Rude.

Not least because when I look at "Rud" I would think it rhymes with "mud" and "Rood" seems like something where you would put extra emphasis on the "oo." Maybe I'm overthinking this, but there you are.

Edited 2012-06-14 00:13 (UTC)

Well, I appreciate your overthinking-ness, so it's all good! Thanks :)

Rhode maybe...? I mean, that's what I would go for if I was trying to be phonetic. Otherwise Rud'.

Rude. I'd like you to meet my best dude, Rude.

I'd read "Rood" to rhyme with hood, and "Rud" an Elmer Fudd.

Heh, that makes for a pretty good introduction! Thank you for the input; I hadn't realized the whole rood/hood thing before you mentioned it.

Rude.

*grins* I'm an FF7 fan myself, so that Rude is also who I thought of!

Where is

cuteanimalpics today? Am I missing something obvious?

Yeah, I was wondering that too, so I checked yesterday's thread, and I guess they had a final exam today? http://fandomsecrets.dreamwidth.org/622143.html?thread=553638207#cmt553638207
