Roscoe?

[ilovebooks]

DS3 now imminent. I've posted here before as DP and I find it hard to agree - we both like Roscoe but I don't like Ross. Would it inevitably be shortened to Ross do you think?
Is it terrible? It ends up being an amalgamation of quite a few names I like..

Thank you!

I know one little Roscoe and have never heard it shortened. Good name.

Oh I love Roscoe, I would shorten it to Coe if anything?

I'd assume you were a fan, which may or may not be the case but I think it works OK as a name.

I really like it.

I like Ross a lot better than Roscoe.

P. Coltrane.

Sorry, makes me think of the Dukes of Hazzard. Think it's horrid, sorry. Ross is ok though.

Thank you - yes we do like Midlake and that is a lovely song so good connotations for us.

I feel I just wouldn't shorten it.. dP thinks we should avoid totally if I don't like Ross.. Thought of trying to come up with another name at this stage too daunting!

Love it

I only heard of this name a few weeks ago, it's lovely but I'm not sure you could prevent it being shortened. How about Pascoe?

Really dislike it.

Reminds me of Costco. Sorry

Zumby

Thanks yes I love Pascoe Hedgehog but DP doesn't.

We don't have Costco around here so not a problem for us Zumby!

There is a big family on Hollyoaks ATM called Roscoe. They are always fighting, in and out of jail etc, so not very positive connotations. That shouldn't put you off though!

Thank you for the heads up Monkeymamma - Hollyoaks not on our radar so think can overlook that one..

It's the boys name in 'mom' the new us tv series.

LOVE! and love Ross too.

We had a cat called Roscoe. It was never shortened

Thank you everyone, am feeling like it's the right choice for us!

I do not think that it will be shortened. but it definetely reminds me of Costco.
