I really like their names too. I was gutted though because my daughter is called Iris and is a little older than theirs so i had to put up with "oh, like jude Laws" for about 6 months, and dreaded it may catch on, but thankfully it hasn't. Out of the boys i especially love Rafferty. Don't know mn's but hope Iris is not Matilda as that is my Iris mn, not that it really matters.

I love Rafferty-I went to school with and Irish family with this last name. Iris is very pretty and I don't care for Rudy.I do love Finlay also!I was surprised that Jude moved on so quick to Sienna also, but now that I know that he and Sadie Frost got together before she was divorced, it makes more sense. A bunch of immoral people-lol! Oh well...Jude is still the hottest!

Rafferty - one of my favs, but my DH says it reminds of the children's singer Raffy and so its a definite no go.
Iris - so sweet, old lady like and hip. I wonder if its popularity will rise in the next couple of years?
Rudy - I absolutely detest this name & I blame it on the fact that their marriage was in trouble!
Finlay - I love this name & I'm strongly considering it (more likely spelled Finley).
Jude - a cool name and while I love Mr. Law, I can't believe how quickly he's moved on from Sadie (love her name too) to Sienna (not bad, but not my style). Yes, I know that their divorce has been final for over a year, but they have really little kids and I don't understand how you could make a baby and divorce while he was still in diapers!!!!

I have issues with the whole Jude/Sadie/Sienna thing, too. Not that he asked my opinion. :b
But he and Sadie got together while she was still married to Gary Kemp and her son, Finlay, was still a toddler. She and Jude were living together and had their first son, Rafferty, before she was even divorced. They didn't get married until Rafferty was 2. So, in other words, I guess it shouldn't be so surprising. Sadie moved on fast, and now so has Jude, I guess. Sorry if I'm being a gossip-drama-queen. lol

I love the oldest two's names, and FInlay too, but Rudy always makes me think of a person who is rude- "ooh, you rude-y!"
I like Rafferty the best but my boyfriend won't let me put it on our list, because he says it sounds like a dog's name.

Rafferty is a last name, i go to school with a Brian Rafferty. Iris is cute but I don't care for Rudy, it seems very childish.

You're somewhat in luck, I've been a huge Jude Law fan for years. :bRafferty - I love this name, too, but unfortunately I don't know where it comes from, or his mn. I do know they often call him "Raff". Iris - Don't know her mn either, but I love this name, too. Rudy Indiana Otis - Not as crazy about his name but it's grown on me. Not sure about its significance (or the significance of the mn's). He also had a step-son when he was married to Sadie Frost, her son with former husband Gary Kemp named Finlay Munro. Finlay was only about 2 years old when Jude & Sadie started dating and now he's around 13, I think. (I adore his name, btw)
