    I am old school ahah and LOVE the name Rose. My family is big n middle names. If you have a middle name you better use it. So would you feel comfortable telling people her name is rogue or calling Abigail Rogue out on the playground when she is being naughty? Would she? I know for the longest time I HATED my middle name (s) I have 2. I eventually got over it but still.

    Stick with Rose. I'll admit, I'm biased (it's my middle name too). But look up rogue in the dictionary. It tends to imply someone who is devious, dishonest, untrustworthy, etc. It's also a character class in a lot of RPGs (both online and old-fashioned paper and pencil, like WoW and D&D), and it's the class that is generally sneaky, thiefly, and attacks from the shadows. I don't know that you want to stick those associations on your little girl!

    Rogue is horrible, IMHO.

    So, if my husband and I have a little girl one day, we decided that we wanted to name her Abigail Rose...Abby Rose, like Abbey Road, get it? We're big Beatles fans... :) So now he's saying, what about Abigail Rogue? Like the xmen character, which he loves, and I liked the movie, lol. What do you guys think?

    OMG i LOVE it....its very like bold and strong...like bam in your face kinda thing. Original and totally unique.

    I like rogue over rose. It implies someone with a strong character. (and that definately does not have to be negative at all!)

    It depends. To me, if you have the intention of hyphoning her name (even without the hyphon) and giving her a double barrelled first name for all occassions I would stick with Abigail Rose.

    However, if the Rose of Rouge is purely a middle name and will only be used for official documents, nicknames etc. and not something she would have everyone calling her day in, day out, I would go with Rouge as it adds that unique touch without being too in your face about it.

    I love both! But, I've heard that children live up to the names you give them. This makes me feel like Rose would make for a very sweet and girly girl, while Rogue may make for a very open and "spirited" child! Which would fit best into your family? I think they are both great names though!

    Thats what I was thinking. Don't associate your kid with a negative word :/ Even if you don't think of your kid negatively, other people will associate your kid with being a rogue.

    I'm usually all about the strange names but I agree with this comment. The word "rogue" has negative qualities.

    go Rogue


    Ditto. She'll have a super awesome middle name (waaaay better than "Danger"). Also, it's a middle name, so the fact that it's got some nerd in it won't be a problem. I love the name.

    Names are important. Give her a name she can grow up with. I would personally never name a child Apple, Tequila, etc. And I wouldn't choose Rogue. But I love Abigail.

    Don't want to tell baby to become a criminal at a tender age, definitely. Besides, people with dyslexia will think you're naming her after cosmetics (rogue vs. rouge). Mind you... Abigail the Red... has a nice Viking feel to it. Makes you want to go out and tame dragons.

    I heard the name Briar Rose the other day and I thought that, besides being a traditional fairy tale name, it's very pretty. Mind you I'm partial to the druid names. One of my friends just named his baby daughter Hazel.

    I have a niece named Abigail. During the terrible twos they called her Abzilla!

    I like Abigail Rose....I will say though..my names Abbey and middle name starts with an R and I got really tired of the Abbey Road remarks/jokes from name tags and such, but if that's what your naming her after, it could work :)
