It's inoffensive but just a bit 'meh' to me. Not very dynamic. It's like the magnolia of names.

It reminds me of an old woman, but that might just be me.

It's my middle name Smile

'The Irish can't say it, they pronounce it Root'

That'll be some Irish pronounce it Root. I don't have any problems with the 'h'. I have to say though I'm not a fan, it's a bit of a snooze of a name.

People in parts of the SE say Roof

When you have to give your name over the phone, everyone thinks you've said Liz Confused You often have to spell it.

Other than that it's a great name, given to wonderful people Grin
