True, exexpat. So, what do you think of Gobshite for a girl?... Grin

KittenCaboodle · 26/08/2013 20:37

Is your surname Trader? If not, then it's a no.

Rogue X: Space Detective.

Yup, definitely a no.

Layl77 · 26/08/2013 20:33

Just no. Rogue? Think of another with the same sound. Can you imagine someone saying their friend 'rogue' said... You would double take and I'd feel sorry for her

WafflyVersatile · 26/08/2013 20:33

I think 'poor child' on about 50% of baby name threads. Grin

Onesleeptillwembley · 26/08/2013 20:32

Oh yes! With sisters Bitch and Mardy-Cow. Fucking ridiculous, but I think you know that. But judging by some of the shite people want to saddle poor innocents with on here......meh.

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 26/08/2013 20:31

I quite fancy Deviant. It sounds so feminine. Might spell it DeeVeAnte though - what d'ya think?

exexpat · 26/08/2013 20:31

Floggingmolly - I don't think you have to supply proof of a positive pregnancy test before you can post in baby names. Go for it...

bridgetsmum · 26/08/2013 20:30

No, yet another daft "name"
Poor child

Floggingmolly · 26/08/2013 20:29

I wsh I was pregnant again; I really want to start a thread called "what do you think of the name Gobshite for a girl"

Just for a laugh, like...

josiejay · 26/08/2013 20:28

No. Please don't.

SmallBee · 26/08/2013 20:27

I'm not a fan of it, ignoring the negative connotations above, frankly the character in the X-Men is really annoying! If you're going with X-Men I prefer Storm.

Please do not spell it differently. That would make it even worse.
It's a comic book character.
Think it's a bit silly.

WafflyVersatile · 26/08/2013 20:26

My name means joy so obviously everyone thinks I am one.

Stands to reason. Like star signs.

exexpat · 26/08/2013 20:26

I guess it might appeal to the small minority of people who know the comic book character, but I have never heard of her, and neither will most people your child encounters - but all the English speakers will know the usual meaning of rogue, and will wonder what kind of parents would call their poor child that.

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 26/08/2013 20:26

What?!!!!

Scallywag as mn perhaps?

Featherbag · 26/08/2013 20:24

Sorry, can't stand it. Doesn't pass the 'QC test' for me (as in, can you imagine your child's name being read out on national news as the lead counsel for the defence, QC Rogue Smith) and it really does instantly conjure up Anna Paquin in X-Men.

Bowlersarm · 26/08/2013 20:23

Maybe spell it differently. It does have a nice sound but not a nice meaning. You may as well call her:

Criminal
Thief
Rascal
Menace

Etc

WafflyVersatile · 26/08/2013 20:23

Sounds like a good plan then, phineyj!

I actually quite like it, for a girl. Confused

MorrisZapp · 26/08/2013 20:23

You can't do it. It is awful.

CockyFox · 26/08/2013 20:22

I like it but only because I love the x-men films.

Mumblyboo · 26/08/2013 20:22

Horrid. Sorry.

exexpat · 26/08/2013 20:22

Is this definition something you would really want to saddle a child with? www.thefreedictionary.com/rogue

ImATotJeSuisUneTot · 26/08/2013 20:22

Oooh, I like it. We toyed with Logan for a boy (Wolverine)
