HelpR names
We often talk about how rare some letters are, for example Q or U names, but I’ve just realized that R is also an underused letter. At least in my experience.
Thinking back I know:
Robert 4×
Roko 2×
Renato 2×
Roman 1×
Rikardo 1×
Ruža/ Ružica 4×
Renata 2×
Rosana 1×
Rajka 1×
Radojka 1×
Ria 1×
And that’s it, no other R names as far as I can remember. What about you guys, how many R names have you encountered in real life? Any you've used or would use for your own child?

I had a baby brother named Roderick.(he died as an infant.)
It's a good name, I'd use it for a child of mine.

I think they're all okay. I'd consider Rupert & Rosetta (family names) as middles.
