Help[Opinions] Re: Strange find

Rouxzanne? Ouch. It looks like a name used by influencers for their daughter. At least Louise balances it up.
I like the fact that South Africa is a melting pot when it comes to names. Regarding Afrikaans ones, I've noticed they often use suffixes, feminisations or Dutch-influenced spellings to create new names (Marizanne, Eduardina, Mathys...), but Rouxzanne is terribly forced - it seems to be a combination of Roxanne and Suzanne (or just Zanne) with the spelling made to reflect the surname.
That said, Rozanne would have been a much nicer option. I even adore this spelling.
