Dudley

West Midlands borough

Dudley is a masculine given name, now somewhat old-fashioned in American usage.

It also names a metropolitan borough in the West Midlands of England.

In American pop culture, Dudley often suggests a nerdy or hapless character—think Dudley Do-Right, the bumbling cartoon Mountie, or Harry Potter's spoiled cousin Dudley Dursley.
