Is Roach baby?
"Roach is baby indeed. Shes a bean, a cuddle bug, and a spoiled brat.... I couldn't ask for a better companion.~"
Why did Geralt name his horse Roach?
"Origanally..I didn't want to get too attached to the beast. But Roach, well..shes my best friend. Its hard to explain.. So..Mun? Take the wheel here."

His use of the name "Roach" actually points to a term of endearment in the central European country.
"Płotka" is the original Polish (and feminine-gendered) term for a horse, and the name's feminine-alignment underscores Geralt's preference across The Witcher universe for mares over stallions. "Płotka" is also an informal or nickname version of the word "płoć," which literally translates to "roach" or the laxer "roachy."
The formation of a strong, emotional bond between man and mare seems only natural in light of the demands coupled with the ostracization and alienation Geralt regularly experiences from those around him.
