Unusual boys name to go with surname ROCK

53 replies

lrock · 15/06/2013 22:00

We currently like Cruz Romeo (pronounced the Italian way, with the accent on the last syllable instead of the first as you would pronounce it in English).

Our other son is called Jonas Andreas Roman and we call him Andreas.

Any other ideas or thoughts?

Stickov (sorry couldn't resist!)

I know nothing about Dutch pronunciation though, is there a huge difference?

How about the Catalan: Roc ?
It has a certain snappiness to it: Roc Rock.

On a serious note...

Santiago/Iago/Santi
Gianluigi (my favourite Italian name!)
Salvatore/Salvador

I have to say, your surname, er, rocks!

Dante is cool, but ideally I don't want it to be a name that an be shortened. We know a Dante and he is called Dan.

I am Dutch and my husband is Scottish, both our families are multicultural so it needs to be a name that is pronounced similarly in English and Dutch at least.

Whoops, just re read your post and see you already have a son with the j initial.... Ignore my rant.

happydutchmummy · 15/06/2013 22:26

What?! Choose a name to make YOU as the parents happy, not the extended family! It's your kid, so call it Andreas if you want to. Then you can always be kind and give a middle name with a J. But don't get bullied on parenting decisions before this kid is even born, especially something as important as a name. It's something you'll use many many times a day for the next few decades! Phew...

I'm actually deeply impressed that you wanted Cruz Romeo but had no idea about the Beckhams.

Crucifix Mercutio?

Because we like Andreas but to keep both families happy we needed a j initial

I don't think that was a serious suggestion.

There already is a Chris Rock in our family and he doesn't like his name because of obvious reasons

I have to agree, separately fine names but together sounds like you're wanting to be a beckham.
