Freaking love the name Roux for a baby girl but no one else seems keen - I know it’s my baby, my choice etc but will I regret it?

Bit saucy for me.

Roux is a sauce, so it's a no for me. Like calling a child gravy or bechamel.

Oh dear, you know that a roux is a white sauce ? Don't do it.

You might not regret it, but she very well might!

Depends if you like to stir.

Too bland for me

You do know it's a sauce?
