Jenson and Rocco

Twin names, of course

Do these sound okay for 2 boys? Not me. My sister, she thinks they're really cool

It's my opinion that I'm not keen Grin but I've said loads of people will find that interesting and a cool vibe

She doesn't really care that I don't like them. For what it's worth! But I've said other people will

Alex Pollizzi has a son named Rocco, but she is of Italian descent. I wouldn’t use it if no Intalian ancestry Jensen is awful .

I do love both names though I think Rocco is maybe a little cooler than Jenson so maybe don’t quite match but completely up to you of course!
I would do Rocco and…
Maverick
Cooper
Orion
Jax/Jaxon
Xander
Evander
Atlas
Casper
Tyler
Albie

Totally agree. Rocco gives cool vibes. Jenson naughty kid, screaming mum vibes. Would be like having an Alby or a Milo with a Braxton.

love all the alternatives to go with Rocco, though Tyler is a bit common.

As per others. Both for me associated with kids with no boundaries. And they don't go together

serin · 17/04/2024 23:41

Rocco sounds very religious. I'm surprised at people saying it sounds "Asbo".
I'd assume the family were Catholic.

KeinLiebeslied54321 · 16/04/2024 09:11

I am not keen at all, it gives me some sort of Victoria Beckham wannabee vibe - not saying there is anything wrong with Mrs B (or Mr B) but their style/image wasn't/isn't something that appeals to me.
That said, some folk wouldn't prefer the more traditional names I like.

ManchesterBeatrice · 16/04/2024 09:07

Very chavvy

TheBirdintheCave · 16/04/2024 08:43

@MrsMoiraRose Yup! Used in Italy but it was originally the name of a 14th century French saint, hence it's popularity in a Catholic country :) The etymological root is a German word however.

AliceMcK · 16/04/2024 08:42

Jensen, Jayden, Jacobie are rife in my DDs school, all the sort of kids and families you don’t want your kids around.

DrJoanAllenby · 16/04/2024 08:41

Jenson and Rocco.

Awful Asbo names.

CiaoBe · 16/04/2024 08:38

Sounds like a pair of French bulldogs.

MistyBerkowitz · 16/04/2024 08:37

Both dreadful.

CattyCow · 16/04/2024 08:26

Naff.

inappropriateraspberry · 16/04/2024 08:21

They sound awful!

MrsMoiraRose · 16/04/2024 08:12

TheBirdintheCave · 15/04/2024 22:25

It's Jensen, with an 'e'.

They don't really go together in my opinion. One is a currently popular Danish surname, the other a very old given name with Germanic roots 🤔

I thought Rocco was Italian? I know one who is Italian and siblings have standard Italian names.

DramaAlpaca · 16/04/2024 01:11

I don't mind Jenson, I hate Rocco.

I like that they are not matchy matchy for twins, but those two names are just too different in style.

WhatWouldYouDo33 · 16/04/2024 01:04

Awful individually and worse together. Not a cool vibe more trying hard.

Rocco also makes me think of Madonna and Rocco Ritchie

SnowFrogJelly · 16/04/2024 01:02

Nope

Sparklybutold · 16/04/2024 00:07

At a push jenson.

Rocco is a pornstar name.

Maverick, Jax/on and Tyler are crimes against humanity

theduchessofspork · 16/04/2024 00:04

Jenson is going to be the Ryan / Jayden type name of the next couple years, so I wouldn’t do that

Rocco is a bit - yes I wish I were in Hello but since I’m not I’m going to give my kid a celeby offspring name

DuchessOfSausage · 15/04/2024 20:43

I don't like them at all but my taste is more traditional.

PossumintheHouse · 15/04/2024 20:37

Sounds like they're about to get in a ring and bash the shit out of each other.

PuntoEBasta · 15/04/2024 20:31

I would recommend doing an advanced search for 'Rocco' to find some of the previous threads where a number of us have explained the connotations that it has in Italy.

CrappyBarbara · 15/04/2024 19:47

They are perfectly fine names, not what I would choose but I’m sure plenty of people wouldn’t choose my kids’ names either.
