This is a wonderful name. I've liked it ever since I saw the movie River Wild starring Meryl Streep. This is the name of her son in that movie. He spelled it Ruark. However I personally prefer the spelling Roarke. Roarke is also the name of one of the main characters in the In Death series written by J.D. Robb.
