Are these names awful? Do you like any of them and if so, which?

Agree with them sounding Italian and American.

Others similar ..
Ross - crisp and non fussy
Roland - nice nickname.
Pasco - Easter related
Francisco
Cisco - energetic and cowboy vibes
Scott - smart
Vasco - Vasco Da Gama
Basco - related to Basque regions
Bosco - woods, forest.
Rosco - better spelling than Roscoe

For anyone with any F1 knowledge, Roscoe will always be Lewis Hamilton’s dog. He was a most excellent dog, but just in case you weren’t aware!

Was about to say this !

Rocco, I love that name. Definitely was in my top 3 if I was having a boy this time

My dog is called Roscoe.

Think they're both awful, sorry.

I like rocco. Rosco would get shortened to Ross which I am not very fond of.

Middle name Purvis? (And a brother called Boss)

Rocco if you have Italian heritage.

Roscoe if American.

If neither think again.
