Hi
So I have 6 days to go before my son is born and we still can't decide on a name.
We both like

Cooper
Rocco

I would just like other peoples opinions as we both like both names, middle name will be Christopher

Our DS who is 4 is called Jackson

Thanks 😊

Much prefer Rocco. Cooper makes me think of Whooping Cough. I suppose it matches Jackson though (both surnames).

I don’t think I’d want to be called Coop.

Rocco is a lovely name.

I'm sorry OP but Rocco is a dog's name where I live! There's one at doggy day care and a couple from the park/dog walking areas. And they're all quite 'butch' types of dogs, like Staffies (adorable!) or mastiff crosses.

What if your DS grows into a sensitive type, who likes art and poetry, or becomes an accountant - would Rocco suit him?! I agree that Cooper and Jackson sound like they kind of go together as they're surnames used as first names, as per the US.

Rocco is much nicer, Cooper is a bit downmarket.

I slightly prefer Rocco, Rocco Christopher is a great combo

I met a little Cooper recently. Is it getting more popular?

Cooper! I have a soft spot for Spencer though...

Round here if you shouted Cooper in the park you'd get half a dozen dogs running up to you.
