[Opinions] Roger
Roger has really been growing on me lately. I think it's really handsome and has a lot of history behind it. But I can't seem to find the right combo, you know? Roger David is my favorite so far, but it seems almost too bland (as in, half my dad's friends from high school are either Roger or Dave, lol). Is it too boring? I've also thought about:
Roger Patrick
Roger Elias
Roger Eduard
Roger Samuel
Roger Llywelyn
Roger BenedictBut, like I said, none of these are really popping out at me. Any other ideas? I'm open to anything, first name or middle name suggestions, since I'm not even positive if I want Roger as a first name. Thanks so much! :D

My father's name is Roger, so I'm reasonably partial to it.Of your combos, I like:Roger Patrick (my father's father's middle name was Patrick)
Roger Samuel
Roger BenedictMy father is Roger St John or Roger Singen depending on his mood when he writes it down (Singen being a traditional English contraction of St John).

I've just added Roger to me list of boys name. I really like it. I like Roger David, and I suggest Roger Thomas.

Roger David and Roger Elias nice, but Roger Samuel is your best combo imo. I prefer Rodger.

Thanks! I prefer the Rodger spelling as well actually, but I fear it would be misspelled 95% of the time, you know? =/

I like Roger Llywelyn & Roger Benedict out of your combos. I came up with Roger Merritt / Merit, Roger Wallace, Roger Kendrick, Roger Lawrence / Laurence, & Roger Vincent.

Oh, I really like Roger Vincent! Roger Merritt is very appealing as well. Thanks! :)

The Roger I know well is Roger Dale. You don't see Roger used much anymore, that's for sure. I'm not crazy about it, because of the things like "Roger, over and out!" and Roger Rabbit and also the fact roger used to be a slang term for, well, to have sexual relations with. I am not making that up! I have seen it used in that context jokingly even today.Roger KennethRoger Bruce/Bryce/BriceRoger Samuel (that's pretty good)Roger PaulRoger WilliamRoger Lloyd?Roger Isaac

LOL, never heard the sex thing. Thanks for pointing it out.Nice to see another vote for Roger Samuel, that seems to be the favorite so far. Roger Paul is great too! Roger William and Roger Kenneth would appeal to me, but they remind me of Roger Williams University, the college half the kids from my town end up going, and Kenny Rogers, respectively.Again, thank you! :)

I think it was used more in England (not sure if it still is or not)--the vulgar usage of "roger" that is (I always assumed it was "rodger" though I'm not sure why). I'm a big watcher of British movies and I've heard it used many times, but I can't remember if they were set in present or past times. :-/ Just hearing that a couple of times kind of ruined the name for me (not that I was a big fan in the first place, though).

Yeah, I've still heard 'roger' used here in England in the vulgar sense, although it was used more in the past than it is now. Still puts me off the name though :/ (not that I liked it much anyway either!)

I'm terrible at combos, but I have to say that Roger Benedict really popped out at me.

The first thing that came to my mind was...before I even finished reading the paragraph.. I thought of Roger Patrick. I really like that!
