Oh that poor child - what an awful, selfish thing to do!

Dollydaydream99 · 27/08/2013 14:54

Thanks mumsnetters, perhaps I should have elaborated.... I'm NOT considering it as a name!!!!!!!

A friend of a friend has called her daughter Rogue & I wanted your opinions to see if I was the only who thinks "rogue, wtf?!" :)

No, no, no, no and no.
And no again.

littlemog · 27/08/2013 13:52

Don't.
Do.
It.

ShadowSummer · 27/08/2013 13:51

I would think that you were an X-Men fan.

And I think it's a terrible name to give to a child.

MrsMongoose · 27/08/2013 05:24

Vogue would be miles better!

DalekInAFestiveJumper · 27/08/2013 04:33

I've got a friend who's a big comic book fan. All four of her children are named after comic book characters.

Even she would not name her daughter Rogue.

RoadToTuapeka · 27/08/2013 04:18

Sorry but I think thats a dreadful name to lump a child with. She will be an adult human sometime not a dog.

Cloudkitten · 26/08/2013 23:42

You are joking, right?! I don't care re X Men connotations, I don't watch it so know nothing about it but I would be if I did because it's somewhat tacky to call child a very niche name from a famous TV programme, and as I don't because Rogue is so... Rongue. For ANY CHILD. Please don't do it.

littlemog · 26/08/2013 23:34

No.

Writerwannabe83 · 26/08/2013 21:42

Reading all your comments has made me laugh out loud! I've had a rubbish day, feeling crap and nauseous and this thread has now really cheered me up

LoopyLupo · 26/08/2013 21:27

My intial thoughts were 'that's a nice name ... for an X man.

pumpkinsweetie · 26/08/2013 21:27

Rogue Trader, perfect name

sonlypuppyfat · 26/08/2013 21:25

Thats the best laugh I've had today, can you imagine a vicar saying it at a baptism!

Onesleeptillwembley · 26/08/2013 21:23

Thanks Remus I thought it added that certain something.

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 26/08/2013 21:04

Mardy-Cow with the hyphen is great. Classy.

pooka · 26/08/2013 21:01

Sounds like a gladiator. Or an unfriendly woman in a jilly cooper book.

Not positive. I'm not keen. But is not my decision! :)

Floggingmolly · 26/08/2013 20:56

Oh go on then; I'll save it for the boy. Nobody would pick on a boy called Gobby, surely?

TSSDNCOP · 26/08/2013 20:52

If they NN her Gobby she'll forever be Gobby The House Elf

KateCroydon · 26/08/2013 20:50

Noooo. Gobshite's cute though - Gobby as a NN?

MichaelBubleBath · 26/08/2013 20:49

Am I the only one who thought of Gladiators?

Rogue is a bad name

Rowan or Roisin

When I think of rogue I think of ''the old rogue! what's he done now? '' or 'roguish charm', roguish good looks', 'roguish smile'.

TSSDNCOP · 26/08/2013 20:42

No but what about

Caroline
Fiona
Melanie
