Roux for a girl?

[butterfly280]

This has come up between friends as a good first name for a girl. What are your thoughts? I personally thought it was a sauce made from flour and milk.

[chocatoo]

It's a no...

[Fekko]

No one remembers Danny la Rue?

[flatpopcrapcrisps]

Do you think there's a French mumsnet, with women sitting around saying "Bof! I'm going to appelle ze bebe Gravy! Je pense c'est tres cute!"

[viques]

I think of Michel if I see the name spelt like that.

Would they go with Rue, like the character in The Hunger Games?

[flumpybear]

Nick names at school would be awful

Kanga
Rude roux

When cookery class starts the fat and flour /saucy comments would start

Give her a rea name and use roux as a nick name

[AppleBosom]

horrid. isnt that the flour butter sauce? are you thinking of la roux or something? please dont.

[grufallosfriend]

Outside of France that would be pronounced Rowx, wouldn't it.

[grufallosfriend]

Or spell it Roo if you want that pronunciation

[Jooni]

Francis no, pronounced "Boo"...

[farfarawayfromhome]

superbeagle the rue I know is actually Indian so maybe it has other meanings than just the French. I might ask her....

[BenLui]

But... it’s a French nickname for redheaded boys isn’t it?

So it would look decided off for a brunette/blonde girl.

Why not just call her Ginger?

I taught a girl called Terine. Who had a baby brother called TJ. Or Tea-Jay, never worked out the spelling. She claimed it was TJ at the time.
