Unusual boys name to go with surname ROCK

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?

The thing is that very few people in the UK will pronounce Romeo the way you want it initially, they will say it the English way, and a lot will carry on with that even if you say it the Italian way in front of them. Also, how do you want Cruz pronounced? A Spanish z? I would find that hard at short notice tbh. IMO a lot of people will say Cruise, is that OK for you? Cruise Rock?

I thought ds's name only had one syllable, but people manage to make it into two.

What is it about Cruz Romeo that you like, apart from the Beckham connection? How about Carl?

Why is he called Andreas if his first name is Jonas? Just curious really. I love Jonas but I don't think it's anything like as unusual as either Cruz or Romeo but using both together does rather make you sound like the world's biggest Beckham fan. Rock is quite a hard surname to live up to though. If you want something Italian sounding then how about Emilio/Emiliano or Dante?
