So....What do you think when you hear it? Boy or Girl? Age well? Too weird??
Others Rue/Roo names ... Rupert, Rooney, Truett :\

It's more of a masculine name to me, though I can see it going both ways.
Isn't Roo the name of the little kangaroo in Winnie the Pooh? I might be mistaken, but for some reason I think it was. How about Rune or Roone instead?

The only downside to this name is that everytime I hear it, I think of Rouen as the breed of duck.

Reuben
Reuven
I think the nickname Roo is cute, and I can see it on an older male, although not over 20 I think. I have a friend named Reuven, he is Dutch and I call him Roo, it suits him, and it works on a teenager, although they may not like it from their parents lol. I also have someone in my college named Ruan, which is pronounced the same as Rouen. I really like the name, and I say go for it if you really want to.

In the end, though, it's what reaches your heart that matters. If you like Rouen, the way it looks and sounds when written and spoken, etc, then you can always find a way to make it work.

it almost sounds like ruin which is pretty negative. and i can see a boy being teased for that.
but at the same time, it sounds so handsome! <3 Rue is cute while he's small, not sure how much he'd like it as an adult lol. it does sound a bit cutesy but i personally love it when guys have cutesy nick names! i always find girly nick names for male friends haha! though i dont care for Roo much myself. mum used to add it onto the last part of my name to make it even cutesyer haha!

It reminds me of kangaroos which everyone here calls 'Roos'..
But my point doesn't mean much since I live in Australia where it would have MAJOR teasing potential since were known for our kangaroos .. And you live in the States so I suppose it doesn't matter, as long as you don't plan on raising him in Oz!!
