I didn't know it was associated with such a bad thing, I just like surname names and had seen it in a few places before and was wondering other people's opinions.

No. Are you not aware of all the recent controversy about Rhodes as a historical figure? Is this a joke?

I also thought of the colonialist.

No. It may get spelt Roads which would be awful.

It’s a surname or an island? Never heard it as a first name.

Like Gary Rhodes. He died far too young.
