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.

Me too, showing my age.

What about Rhodri?

It's not, it's Dave.

DH has a cousin called Roderick, who goes by Rick (50s).

And me!! It was my first thought 😂.

Same!

Another Welease Woderwick

The film is a classic, and although it's probably less watched now, I don't think this association will ever quite go away

Rory Stewart is a Roderick, he clearly prefers Rory. Not keen op.

😂😂

It's my husbands middle name, always makes me laugh.
So it's a no from me.

Life of Brian.

Makes me think of famous Rods- Only fools and horses, Rod, Jane and Freddie (no idea if Rod is his full name) or Rod Hull (his death is very sad)

(My kids would only know Rodney from Only Fools)

Don’t do it 🙄

Sir Roderick lost his head... that's all it makes me think of, sorry!!

Awful. Rhodri or Rory

Makes me think of Rodney from OFAH.

Rodrigo is cool and Mediterranean, Roderick is awful IMHO.

Going against the grain here - I like it. And it's not that uncommon here in Scotland, in the sort of families that might have a Campbell or a Murray or a Findlay in the family.

I don’t love it, but I think it’s OK

Rod the Plod

It does not have the same vibe as Rodrigo, but I agree that would be odd with no Spanish ancestry

what else do you like?

Names that are unusual and more attractive

Gideon
Alberic
Abraham
Julius
Barnabas
Darius
Hector
Atticus
Jago
Ivor / Ivo
Ignatius
Xavier
Magnus
Caius
Victor

Omg yes 😅

I prefer the suggestions of Rory or Rhodri. I also think that Roddy is fine on its own.

I don't think I've ever set eyes on a worse list of names than this!

No.

Dreadful. Don’t do it to the poor kid.
