I think it's a negative sounding name, sorry.

Sounds to me like a name for a dog or a racehorse, or possibly a rapper, not for a child.

If you call them that you are asking to have the best behaved, most tediously honest and virtuous DC ever! Bit like calling them Chastity or Joy.

First definition in the dictionary is

An unprincipled, deceitful, and unreliable person; a scoundrel or rascal.

Oooh, I like it. We toyed with Logan for a boy (Wolverine)

Is this definition something you would really want to saddle a child with? www.thefreedictionary.com/rogue

Horrid. Sorry.

I like it but only because I love the x-men films.

Sounds like a good plan then, phineyj!

I actually quite like it, for a girl. Confused

You can't do it. It is awful.

Maybe spell it differently. It does have a nice sound but not a nice meaning. You may as well call her:

Criminal
Thief
Rascal
Menace

Etc

Sorry, can't stand it. Doesn't pass the 'QC test' for me (as in, can you imagine your child's name being read out on national news as the lead counsel for the defence, QC Rogue Smith) and it really does instantly conjure up Anna Paquin in X-Men.

What?!!!!

Scallywag as mn perhaps?

I guess it might appeal to the small minority of people who know the comic book character, but I have never heard of her, and neither will most people your child encounters - but all the English speakers will know the usual meaning of rogue, and will wonder what kind of parents would call their poor child that.

My name means joy so obviously everyone thinks I am one.

Stands to reason. Like star signs.

Smartiepants79 · 26/08/2013 20:26

Please do not spell it differently. That would make it even worse.
It's a comic book character.
Think it's a bit silly.

I'm not a fan of it, ignoring the negative connotations above, frankly the character in the X-Men is really annoying! If you're going with X-Men I prefer Storm.

No. Please don't.
