I am unexpectedly pregnant, and last time we named my baby Rocco, which doesnt really”go” with my other children’s names, as they have quite classic/old fashioned names but he was supposed to be our last so we thought we would just go with it, he was our wild card! Smile

In my head I feel like the name has to flow with Rocco even though there are other sibling names I can see myself saying Rocco and “ ” a lot. Maybe something Italian, but not too Italian as I am about as Italian as a bag of chips!

Not sure on the sex as I think I would like a surprise this time (never managed to do that before).

So far I like:

Girls

Cosima
Marnie
Pandora (not brave or posh enough for this but I love it so much )
Petra

Boys

Cassius , nn Cass.
Romeo (I know! Bit Rocco and Romeo ❤️)

Any suggestions welcome 🙏

I would steer well clear of Italian names if you are not Italian. Especially as your other children have traditional English names. Romeo and Rocco is an awful combination.

Why don't you opt for an unusual English name like Axel if you want to keep in the same vein as Rocco.

Agreed. I find it really cringey when people name their kids from cultures and languages they have zero connection too.

Agree with pp suggestion of Nico for a boy
And Lola or laila for a girl.

Nico?

I say this as the owner of a cat called Rocco and his brother was called Nico 🙈 however Nico was a name I'd always loved for a boy but I never had a human boy to name it.

What about Margot, Cora, Ada, Flora, Stella.
Hugo, Victor, Vinnie, Gaïus, magnus
They are classic but go with Rocco.
