What do you think of Roderick

[MistyF]

What do you think of Roderick? With possible nickname Roddy or Ro. It has same origins as Spanish Rodrigo. I don't know what to think of Roderick, but I kinda like it because I'm trying to find longer names to add to my list, that are also unusual and acceptable, but don't really like Rodrigo.

It’s reminds me of diary of a whimpy kid. Very American.

No

Personally I don't like the sound of it at all. I think it's clunky and hard sounding.

Rodrigo is much more pleasant sounding name, but I wouldn't call a child that unless it had some Spanish ancestry.

I usually prefer longer names to shortened ones, but I wanted Roddy I'd just call them that.

Only Fools and Horses.

All I can think of now is
‘Welease Woderwick’

Welease Woderwick

That's Rodney you plonker

cross posted 🤣 me too

Poor kid

Makes me think of Monty python.
"Wodewick"

Roderick the Rat in Tales from the Riverbank.

Yup, that's all I think of too 😂

We had to dissect a rat for Biology A level.

I called mine Roderick.

Years ago, I had a boyfriend with the shortening you're thinking of. I used to avoid saying his name out loud.

This!

.

Wodewick!

Not keen. I don’t think he’d thank you.

My mind went straight to this!

Not keen at all

Me too. OP it’s a terrible name. What has your poor baby done for you to consider that name

Welease Wodewick was my first thought too. I suppose not that many school children are Monty Python fans so it's probably ok to use it.

At lease 2 of my DC would think of this but they are probably in the minority at schools these days in having a Monty Python quote ready for any conceivable situation.

if you like Roderick how about Alaric? Bit of a nicer sound

Rodders

Mmm, it's an amalgamation of rod and dick or roddy dick, neither of which creates pretty pictures in my mind, sorry.
