Ru sounds regretful, but Rupert is nice if you can overlook the cartoon bear. Who is a good character I suppose, though rather lacking in personality.

Rupert sounds fresher and younger than Robert; maybe also more snobbish? I do like it, but I'd use Robin if I wanted a form of Robert (both are family names).

I’ve always had a soft spot for the name Rupert, not sure why. Ru is an unneeded nn, as Rupert is so handsome and only two syllables anyway.

I love Rupert. I don’t like the nn Ru, though.

Better than boring Robert for sure. Rupert has a fun, posh air to it. Very quintessentially "British" sounding name to my American ears. I'm very fond of it.

It's okay...

I like Rupert, not keen on Ru
