Rhodes

[Barryanne]

What are your thoughts on this name?

Where we’re going we don’t need Rhodes.

I love it

How about Rhodri?

No. Not for me. It's a Greek island, and also associated with that colonialist and arch white supremacist Cecil Rhodes, who named Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe) after himself.

Rhodesia sprang to mind - avoid was next thought.
Then roads.
Three - it really isn’t a first name for a person.
But there are positive associations too.
I don’t even like the skins of it for a name I think.

Sound not skins !

It’s a perfectly fine surname, not a first name though

No

Joseph Goebbels was a nazi, but I still like Joseph, just because someone bad has a name doesn,t mean you can,t use it.

Agreed. But naming your child goebbels might raise an eyebrow.

OP, what are your thoughts on Cecil?

Sorry, I now see my point has already been made
I should have finished reading the thread first

How about Riley? Or Elliott? Blake? If you like surname type names for girls.

I would avoid Rhodes for the reasons already mentioned on here.
