Roux? Girls name

[Bubnbutton]

Freaking love the name Roux for a baby girl but no one else seems keen - I know it’s my baby, my choice etc but will I regret it?

Rue is French for street afaik. So that might or might not be a consideration 🤔

I'm afraid I hate it and do immediately think of white sauce. I think it's best kept as a nickname.

Is it particularly the x that attracts you? There are plenty of names with x's.

How about Ruby, shortened to Ru?

Or Rousseau?

I thought of sauce sorry 😂

oh no, User McBunch o' Numbers is here to discount other people's opinions!

Except, a lot of other people on this thread share UMcB's opinion on this one. Are you discounting theirs?

I’m a Ruth (which means compassion) and get called Rue by a few friends. I love it

Thank you Bellatrix!

I nearly responded to that snark (in an un-literate way, showing my terrible lack of vocabulary) but then couldn't be arsed.

I have a box Roux. We love it. No one has ever taken the piss.

Call her Ruth and use Ru as a nickname? At least then she has a real name...

Bloody love it! ❤️

I honestly really like it! I love both Rue and Roux and I know the meanings a little sad but I still think it is a really pretty name. I know a girl who called her dog Roux. 😊

I don't believe that a PP knows two French children called Roux since according to official statistics it's not been used as a first name since 1900. And don't call the kid Rue either, it mean street.

Went to school with a boy who had Roux as a middle name, he was Dutch and his surname also ended in X. So it's a Dutch/French name to me and I wouldn't use it without having that heritage.

I really like roo as a nickname though and think it could work for any names beginning with R
