It sounds like something cowboys would say, riding out on their horses:
'Reed LaRue!'
'Rowdy Leigh!'
=P

their third brother will probably have something that sounds "Howdy do?" :P

[0o-faerie.livejournal.com]

I bet! =P

I like Reed, but Rowdy???

[after-the-ashes.livejournal.com]

For as cowboy as they sound, they look REALLY feminine to me.

[th3-unicorn.livejournal.com]

Rowdy is dog's name...
LaRue is sort of a guilty pleasure of mine, but never on a boy!

[0o-faerie.livejournal.com]

Apart from the cowboy connotation...'la rue', means 'the street' in French, and 'la' is feminine. Double weirdness!

Rowdy Leigh? that's fucking horrible.

[ifancylust.livejournal.com]

rowdy? :((((

are they boys?

[zorianna.livejournal.com]

Reed is one of my top boy names, but Rowdy is just horrendous, and downright mean.

Rowdy Leigh?

OH MY GOD.

I mean, Reed LaRue is bad too, 'Reed the Street'? But the way I'm pronouncing Rowdy Leigh, 'Rowdy Lay', is just evil. Even if they're pronouncing it 'Lee', it's bad.

I used to work with a man named LaRue. We liked to call him Lash, as in...Lash LaRue.

"Hi, I'm Rowdy."

Uggghhh. PEOPLE! STOP GIVING YOUR CHILDREN ADJECTIVES FOR NAMES! Especially ones with negative connotations.

Rowdy made me laugh. Not necessarily what you generally look for in a name, but to each their own, I suppose.

Wasn't that one of Marge's new names that Homer picked on the Simpsons?

Chesty LaRue and Busty St Claire?
