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).
