True

Some people think they may be the child of Donna and Mr Donna, because they're mixed race and Donna is white while her husband is black. She called her child Rose because despite the mind block, that name means something to her...

That theory would rely on the trans actress playing a cis female which seems somewhat unlikely... if the character is trans then it doesn't make sense that Donna came up with the name Rose. Though I guess they could do the same thing but with Donna suggesting the name Rose, a sort of "it just jumped into my head... I have no idea why..." scene.

Hmm fair point ...

Maybe Donna goes crazy, and is like Mother Bates, and forces her son to dress up like a girl and calls him Rose?
