Does anyone have a Brock, and what are your thoughts?

[Kafeeundkuchen]

Hi, dh is very keen on Brock (with traditional middle name). Has anyone called their ds Brock and are you still in love with the name? I do like it and imaging a lovely, gentle, fun little boy but worry if it's a little too unusual?
Thanks

[ShowOfHands]

I don't think of a human child. I just think badger.

[parissont]

It's a badgers name

[Tiggeryoubastard]

Badger. You'd have to be a twat to saddle a human with that.

[thatstoast]

Brock Lesnar, professional wrestler!

[thatstoast]

Brock's middle name is Edward, that's traditional.

Badgers...

[Herewegoagainfolks]

I'd tend to think badger too but it's not the worst name I've heard on these boards.


I would caution you a bit regarding imagining a personality to go with the name, your baby will be his own person.

Badger

[Kafeeundkuchen]

Seriously Toast? Shoot that is the name combo lol! I don't watch wrestling so wasn't copying! Hmm, may have to chat to DH if we have a boy !

[Chottie]

Brock = Badger :(

[AntiquityUbiquity]

Vengeful villain Tommy Brock the badger from Peter Rabbit which is all over Cbeebies!

[Kafeeundkuchen]

Thanks herewegoagain that's true.
Luckily I actually love Badgers, our largest (surviving) carnivore etc...
Name choosing is such a minefield lol! luckily I have a while to go so can keep chiming our minds of we need to....

I liked this name but could imagine the Brock-the-cock name calling at secondary, so we didn't use it.

It does mean badger, but so what?

[Itinerary]

Badger or surname.

[NeedACleverNN]

Pokemon

[AntsMarching]

I grew up with a Brock. He was the coolest guy, so by default I associate that name with cool guys.

[Kafeeundkuchen]

Yes hadn't thought of that Indand. Yeah I'm with you on the Badger so what bit. It's interesting to hear views though.

[caker]

I like Brock, also how about Breck or Brecken?

[RavioliOnToast]

I just remember the guy from Pokemon.

[BertrandRussell]

Why would you use the name of a pretty savage carnivore for a lovely gentle fun little boy? And bear in mind that he will be a little boy for a fleeting moment of his life......

[OublietteBravo]

I met one on holiday last year - he was DS's age (so 10).

I instantly associated Brock with badger, but DH didn't and neither did the DC.

[honeysucklejasmine]

I would say Pokemon too. Or assume you're American.

[UntilTheCowsComeHome]

I immediately think of Brock Lesnar. I even say it in the same voice as Paul Hayman.

Nice name though.

[tabulahrasa]

My Brock...

[Pipbin]

Badgers and Pokémon.

I like it as a name though.
