Odd man out or What?

I really really love the name Rogue for a girl. I know it can have a negative connotation but I kind of dont care. I love it! Am I crazy???
The thing about it that is kind of funny to me is that I am not any sort of X-Men fanatic but that is the first time I had heard a girl with that name and my oldest sons name is Logan. For those that dont know Wolverines name is Logan when hes not superhero-ing. Also, for those that dont know the girl that is his little sidekick is Rogue (anne marie i think).
I hope if I choose this name not many people have that knowledge because I dont want to seem crazy or anything. I've only seen the movie once. The name just struck me years ago and I cannot get rid of it.
Thoughts????

Please don't do that to your children.

The name Damian is used all of the time and no one has a bad thing to say. I'm not sure if you dont like the name or just having them in the same family

I know it can have a negative connotation but I kind of dont care. I love it! Am I crazy??? YES!!! Since you asked, I think anyone who would just ignore that is crazy. Poor kid!

If you absolutely love the name it shouldn't matter what others think, but if you do decide to use it you will have to be prepared for the obvious comments.

I wouldn't have picked up on the X-Men connection, but to me, Rogue is over the top. I don't mind unusual names (some of the ones I'm considering have received some strange looks), but I do worry about over the top names because people could consider them actually silly. And while a child's name is the parent's choice, it's the child who has to live with it.

If you like the name go for it. My only concern is that you look up the meaning and make sure you are at peace with the connotation that you are branding your child with.


Names should be something that inspires your child to live up to it's meaning and thought behind it. If I remember correctly , Rogue
