I'm looking for thoughts on the name Roux ---pronounced row. My great uncle has this middle name and we are looking for something that shows our French Heritage.

Do people just think of roux sauce? Like it/hate it?

Non

It’s a precurser to white sauce and probably why it was your gu’s middle name. Use his first name or surname.

I’m not keen, sorry.

If I saw it written I’d think ‘as in the sauce?’ (I didn’t know it was a name) if I heard you say it (I thought it was Roo) I’d think ‘as in Kanga?’

That’s a paste of flour and butter, add milk. You can do better.
