Is Roger due a revival?

[Spaghettinetti]

I haven't seen any mumsnetters mention the name 'Roger', so what do you reckon? Is it due a revival? What other names could be resurrected?

No. Next?

Hopefully not.

Eh, no.

No

I doubt it. Not before Kevin, Keith and Wayne at least.

Christ, no

Nope.

Baby Roger. Doesn't sound right!

In fact it sounds so wrong, I can't imagine that even people who are called Roger were ever actually a baby called Roger.

Roger is out.

Brian, Walter, Norman stand a chance.

I mean it will definitely come back in just hopefully not for a while yet. Brace yourselves ladies for a future grandson called Roger. Start practising your best 'oh what a lovely name', 30 years should be enough notice to become halfway convincing.

Stanley is your parents' Roger.

The world just isn't ready for an influx of baby Rogers just yet.

Oh lordy, I hope not. You might as well call him Shag.

Maybe Nicholas?

Brian and Kevin are still in the top 100 Irish boys names. And Martin! We laugh in the face of fashion!

No.

Patrick
Douglas
And Noel at a push.

But not Roger

I like Roger.

I agree the double meaning is maybe too much of a problem though.

It was Roger who compiled that wonderful thesaurus. No one took his work seriously until he changed his name to Roget.

My sister is going to name her baby Roland if it's a boy.

Roland reminds me of Grange Hill.

No, I don't think so. Colin?

Roger's thesaurus. A million ways to avoid using a word. He knew what he was talking about.

Although that was Roget...

But still no to Roger.

Roland is quite retro. Roger, on the other hand (and apart from the obvious problem) is very much on a par with Colin, Brian or Terry.

Only if your second name is Rabbit.

I know a few baby Colins. It's definitely coming back.

Don't know any baby Rogers though.
