Roger

[nottodaymarjory]

Is it due a come back? Why or who not.

I know a few older generation men with the name Roger. They are all really nice people. Personally, I hate the name. It’s old-fashioned in a bad way. I don’t like the way it sounds at all. I can’t imagine a baby/toddler/teen/young man with the name.

Roger perhaps still not usable - though my junior school playmate had that name and he was - and is - a great chap. And of course there's Roger Moore and Roger Federer. They've both got on pretty well, in spite of the name.

Had you thought about the original Norse-Norman version of the name, which is 'Hrothgar', pronounced 'Roth-gar'?

Roger Taylor from Queen.

Most of the famous people called Roger seem to be nice, as far as one can tell ... and all the Rogers I've met in real life have been lovely. I've got a theory that Rogers just tend to turn out all right.

Does Rogering mean sex? I always thought it was penetration with some random object? I'm too scared to Google!

Beautiful name in my opinion.
And yes, due for a comeback :)

I like the name and, just checked with two teens, who aren't aware of the 'rogering' connotation.

Roger my Arse!!! Jim Royle.

It’s just hilarious because of rogering, and todger, and also it just sounds funny. So no.

Absolutely not. Its totally dire.

Oh I've never thought of Roger Federer as a Roger. Ruined him for me now.

I have an uncle called Roger, he's of that generation though. It's better with the French pronunciation, though 100x more pretentious. No, I doubt it's due a renaissance!!

Mmm I prefer Reginald nn Reggie

There was a boy in my class called Roger. No-one made fun of it and no-one knew about other 'roger' meanings. I could see it making a comeback among Outlander fans.

I have a mate Roger and I married one too, both absolutely detest their name, just saying.

As a previous poster said Roger is the name of one of the Greatest Tennis Players we have ever known( Roger Federer) but he has always been known by his surname ( Federer) but let’s just say his name never held him back as he is called Roger Federer.

So go with whatever name you like .

Please don't.

It's one of those comedy names to me. Either an elderly gent who says spiffing a lot, a hapless henpecked husband or a randy milkman.
Sorry OP I just can't take it seriously and the one I knew was an ageing swinger type!

No its awful. As bad as Trevor and Horace.

In the ilk of Norman, Wesley,Winston, Wayne

Unusual these days but I am sure it would be fine

With Gary and Roy and Barry?
No it’s not due to come back 😂😂
Funny post though
