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.

It's a no...

No one remembers Danny la Rue?

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!"

there's Rumer if they want the roo sound.

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

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

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

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

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

Or spell it Roo if you want that pronunciation

Francis no, pronounced "Boo"...

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

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.
