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!)

Ah little Rogue has a ring to it!!

(joking)

Like Rogue from x men??

Well.. it’s different. I wouldn’t personally, but if you are absolutely set on it I think it would be wise to go for something lovely and very very safe for his/her other name (from your list maybe avoid Evangeline) so he/she can be known as that when older if he/she doesn’t like Rogue/want to stand out etc. Or put Rogue in the middle?

Do you actually know what Rogue means OP? The first definition in a dictionary is “dishonest person” (paraphrased). Do you really, really want to call your child that?

at Balonz

Robber has a nice ring to it. Or mugger. Or Killer, that sounds really cool

Please don’t!

Similar kind of vibe - Roman/Romana?

Elephant?

Oh god, I never comment negatively on name treads ... but there s a first for everything ! Don't call your child Rogue, just no. That s unkind

What about Scallywag, or Hoodlum, Twooter?

Yes, i do know what it means. But there are plenty of other (very common!) Names that actually have horrible meanings. Yet so many people have used them, the meaning seems to be forgotten! Its an unusual choice, i know, but everyone is different! I personally think the names Euan and amelia are absolutely awful, but i would never tell someone theyre an idiot for liking the way it sounds!

Or Wrongun.

I was so sure you were going to say you meant rouge. how about Roger on birth certificate on rogue as a nickname for a boy? or maybe something like roguetta or rogueisha for a girl?

Tyrant?

Oh dear. Please don't use Rogue OP, it'd be unfair on your baby
Roman is a good alternative

You may wish to be unusual. Change your own name. Don't saddle a kid with a non name youneeq name.

Euan and Amelia don't mean 'dishonest person'

I think I'd feel quite sad if my mum had called me Rogue

Rogue Steel, Rogue Dante, Rogue River....Mills and Boon names!

I'm all for an unusual name (DS has one)- but I think where the name is in current usage as a word with negative connotations, you're setting your kid up for a difficult time.

You know with a name like rogue, teachers will have preconceptions, Police will think he's taking the piss if he ever needs their assistance (or god forbid is in trouble), employers might shy away....

Be sensible.

Joking aside, names with origins which aren’t very nice is one thing, but using a negative word which is still very much in use, is a little different.

I guess it’s no worse than Maverick, which was as popular as my child’s name in the year he was born. Can you imagine a quiet, bookish child called Rogue though? Don’t give your child a name that will evoke a certain temperament!

Theres unusual and then there's unusual.

What about

Olympia
Louella
Cleo
Odessa
Eden
Renna
Esther
Shilo
Rosa
Honor
Tulsi
Rhea
Teagan

Gunman
Bomber
Wolf
H2H

I don’t think one person has said they like it. I think that means you really should consider what your child will think of it in future.

Loki is unusual - Norse God and a trickster. He went a bit evil towards the end in the myths, but most people won't understand the connotations - why not go for something like that?
