ROGE's notebook entry: Apr 13, 2010 english novels are very helpful and inspiring as well:)

What's the story behind your name? We live in different countries, we have different cultures, we use different languages & we have different names. I'm wondering if u have ever asked your parents why they gave u such a name. My name is ROGELYN but my friends used to call me roge fro short. ROGELYN is not a name of a famous celebrity, nor a scientist, nor a place, nor a flower. It was simply derived from the names of my parents. ROGE is from my father's name ROGER and LYN came from my mother's name JOCELYN. ROGE+LYN= ROGELYN (pronounced as ro-ji-lin). How about u? What's the story behind your wonderful name???
