Opinions/ middle names for Rogue

305 replies

Robyn578 · 28/01/2018 19:53

I have been looking for names for a little while. I want something unusual thats not going to crop up everywhere and Rogue is the only name ive really fallen in love with! I would use it for either a boy or a girl. Middle name for a boy would be John after a family member, but im worried Rogue John sounds a bit like a dodgy curry! Middle names for a girl would either be Evangeline, joan or Elizabeth. Does anyone have any opinions/suggestions/alternatives? (No Rogans or logans please!)

Please don’t!

Robber has a nice ring to it. Or mugger. Or Killer, that sounds really cool Hmm

Do you actually know what Rogue means OP? The first definition in a dictionary is “dishonest person” (paraphrased). Do you really, really want to call your child that?

Like Rogue from x men??

Well.. it’s different. I wouldn’t personally, but if you are absolutely set on it I think it would be wise to go for something lovely and very very safe for his/her other name (from your list maybe avoid Evangeline) so he/she can be known as that when older if he/she doesn’t like Rogue/want to stand out etc. Or put Rogue in the middle?

Ah little Rogue has a ring to it!!

If you like the 'name' that much, surely you can use it as a nickname or shortening for something else, but I'm not even sure you will be allowed to use that word as a name - certainly in the UK, the registrar is allowed to refuse unsuitable words, and I think you would be on severely dodgy ground with this one!

Wow. Yes, Rogue. I was looking through unique names in a book i have got, and that was in there. Im sure there are worse names, can anyone suggest an alternative?

Don’t registrars intervene when someone tries to call their baby something that would detriment their life?

toffee1000 · 28/01/2018 20:01

Hopefully this is a joke thread. Particularly as they’ve suggested such normal names for middle names.

Theimpossiblegirl · 28/01/2018 20:00

I have never made a negative comment on the baby names thread before, but please don't call your child Rogue.
There must be other X-men or Star Wars type names to use as inspiration, names that won't lead to a life-time of judgement.

greendale17 · 28/01/2018 20:00

This has to be a joke. Who in their right mind would call their child Rogue?

84CharingCrossRoad · 28/01/2018 19:59

Seriously though as others have said don't do it.
Why give your child a name with a connection to bad/illegal behaviour.....???

MedicinalGin · 28/01/2018 19:59

If you like one syllable names, what about Vogue or Vaughan/Vaughn?

LostInLeics · 28/01/2018 19:59

I'm assuming this is a joke thread? You cannot actually be seriously considering calling a child this?

sanityisamyth · 28/01/2018 19:59

Seriously?

blueskyinmarch · 28/01/2018 19:59

Rogue? That is a batshit name. Don't do it.

MaryPoppinsStoleMyHandbag · 28/01/2018 19:58

MedicinalGin · 28/01/2018 19:58

Um, Rogue? Are you sure this is the only name you like out of all the names? It’s just that, I’m not sure it’s actually a name and it has quite negative connotations.

Ummmmgogo · 28/01/2018 19:58

do you mean rogue as in baddie or rouge as in red in French?
