Flicking through a magazine, waiting for my turn at the doctors surgery.

A lady has 10 boys!

She has called the youngest rothagaidh.

Any know how it is said?

And wow to 10 boys!

Could be Roderick?

If that's Scottish Gaelic the final dh will be silent. But I've never come across that name before.

Possibly Rogie?

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rogie_Falls

Apparently it is the Gaelic name for some waterfalls in Scotland.

Maybe he's named after where he was conceived?

Do you think they call him Rogie for short? I quite like it.

No idea how to pronounce it though.

Google tells me it's the original Gaelic for a waterfall now usually anglicised to "Rogie" I've been to this waterfall several times; it's a popular walk. Perhaps the waterfall has some significance for her?

It's pronounced Rogie.
And he wasn't conceived alfresco 😁
