two R names for boys

[greenzebra]

what do you guys think of the names

Rogan

Radley

are they too chavvy, my DH likes them and I dont mind them either but was wondering your thoughts as they are names I havnt heard of before.

In my very honest opinion:

Rogan reminds me of a curry
Radley reminds me of a handbag

They are nice sounding words but have strong associations with curry and handbags, and I've never heard them used for people.

If you're looking for R names, Rufus or Rowan are lovely...?

Yes they are too chavvy.

Well you did ask!

I'm with minipie on this one - curry and handbags.

Not keen. Do like

Rory
Ross
Russell
Ryan
Robbie
Rhys

Ranulph/Ralph
Rowan

Rudy
Rafferty
Rufus
Reuben
Rio
Riley

They are really, really, really awful. Sorry.
There are loads of nice 'R' names. I agree with previous suggestions of Rufus, Ralph, Rowan, Rudy and Reuben.
I would like to add Raphael.

We have a Rufus and Rory if that helps - except I am always getting them muddled up!

Too Mills and Boon. Both of them.

How abot Rogan and Josh?

I know what you mean peeps, I dont like rogan, keeps reminding me of the curry the more I say it.

But I am turning more to Radley, just been reading about the name and its relation to kill a mocking bird.

I really dont think its that bad now, its not top of my list but its on the list.

thanks for your comments

Rowan is a great name and at the top of our list but we think it might be too popular or becoming too popular and we like it a bit more unusual.

Rowan and Rory

Ronan? Richard, Robert, Ronald ;)

I really don't like Rogan or Radley, sorry chick! If I saw Radley on a school register that theme tune from The Omen would come into my head! :D x

Really dislike Rogan and Radley. Since you ask, both seem chavvy. There are some lovely 'R' names suggested in this thread though. Especially ike Rowan and definitely not common around here.

I would say they are both a bit chavvy.

Chavvy, sorry.

I would go for Rory and Riley, Rory and Ross, Rory and Robbie, and, basically, Rory with just about anything

Raife, Rex or Ridley.

Radley is the lesser of the 2 evils. You do realise he'll spend the rest of his life saying "no not Bradley..." though?

I would go for...
Rafferty
Redmond

Radley ok at a push, Rogan no IMO.

curry and handbag for me too.

R is a good letter too, loads of good r names for boys. Roscoe, Richie, Reuben, Ruairi, Rory, Redmond, Raphael (Raf)

Yes, robbie is a good name. It hasn't 'dated'. It still works now.
