Opinions/ middle names for Rogue

[Robyn578]

I have been looking for names for a little while. I want something unusual thats not going to crop up everywhere and Rogue is the only name ive really fallen in love with! I would use it for either a boy or a girl. Middle name for a boy would be John after a family member, but im worried Rogue John sounds a bit like a dodgy curry! Middle names for a girl would either be Evangeline, joan or Elizabeth. Does anyone have any opinions/suggestions/alternatives? (No Rogans or logans please!)

OP I think the problem with your comparison with negatives names like, I dunno, Cecilia (blind) or Leah (weary) is that these are names with negative etymological roots - they're original root meanings, or names loosely based on old words from other languages with said meanings. They're not actually nouns used in our language for negative purposes. So Cecilia is not actually a functional word of which the definition is "blind".

That is the issue with Rogue. It's not a connotation that's the issue, it's the fact that the word "rogue" is a commonly used word that literally just means "an unpleasant and unscrupulous individual". In that sense it's not wildly dissimilar to calling your child Fraud.

I understand why you like the phonetics of it, but I have to be honest - I do think you would be making life difficult for your child.

It’s not a question of not liking a particular name, we all have different likes and dislikes. But seriously, why would you saddle a child with a name that means bad and dishonest. Bonkers!

Quite apart from meetings, people will misspell it as 'Rouge'. And I can say from experience that having a name that's constantly spelled wrong is annoying as fuck.

Do you know what the word ‘rogue’ means?!
“ a dishonest or unprincipled man”

@Robyn578 John mellencamp has a granddaughter called 'Slate' which I rather liked and I'd definitely put it in the same sort of 'camp' as rouge.

All the best with your pregnancy

@Robyn578 people also really need to move on as well, now you've said ages ago your going back to the drawing board. 'To much time on their hands, and not a lot going on in their own lives' springs to mind

Rogue 🤣🤣🤣🤣
What about cowboy? Villain?

I have suggestions: Oliver or Olivia.

I am completely serious. Being unique is not a good thing in the digital age.

I would like to add my " I have never posted negatively on a name thread but please don't" vote.

However thanks for the much needed laughter to cheer me up on a monday morning

First rule of naming babies: Don't Be Weird.

Yes. Totally agree.

Being unique is not a good thing in the digital age.

This should be the second rule.....

Hozabout Rogue Pogue Mahone!

Keep looking OP, you will find the right name eventually.

How about Vita for a girl?

The names i consider for my child are MY choice.

And it’s a choice your child has to live with. Thank goodness you’ve gone back to the drawing board though.

If you want to use Rogue, get a pet.

Imagine introducing yourself with your chosen name. Or even try it out for a few weeks, see how it goes.

It is a little bit Kardashian-West-Esque but it's up to you OP. People on here can be quite rude.

Unique names?

Hardly. Unless you are happy for people to think you are so incapable of original thought you called your child after a Star Wars film (as best).

At worst, well, pick from a long list of shitness your kid will have to go through their entire life saddled with that.

Change your own name to it if you like it so much but don't drop that on a baby for christ's sake.

The problem with a name like this OP is that a child has to suit it, and life doesn't always work out like that.
For example, so many Lord of the Rings fans call girls Arwen after a willowy elf but the child is short, dumpy and bespectacled.

I had a friend with a yacht called Arwen. A fine vessel she was....

Sorry, off topic I know

I know! Your mother gives you a pretty name like Primrose, but then you go and marry a doctor named Shipman who helps old ladies with lots of money and jewellery to rewrite their wills in his favour and then die... and people say all kinds of nasty things about you ...

Rogue-Mae
Rogue-Grace
Rogue-Rose
Rogue-Anna

Lovely

I know of a child called Maverick

Poor kid will be saddled if he ends up becoming an accountant or something

I always think Grace is a ricky one too

Sorry op. I'm actually crying at some of these replies Rogue Juan Roguey One Kanobi

Please, no. Just no, no, no. Think of the future adult going for a job interview. Don't inflict this on that poor child!
