Does anyone have a Brock, and what are your thoughts?

[Kafeeundkuchen]

Hi, dh is very keen on Brock (with traditional middle name). Has anyone called their ds Brock and are you still in love with the name? I do like it and imaging a lovely, gentle, fun little boy but worry if it's a little too unusual?
Thanks

I didnt link the negatives like that Bert, thinking nice little boy/ grown man and Britain's largest (living) carnivore which isn't a bad thing to me. I guess it's like lions aren't bad (although once in a badger release I ended up involved in a -not so good- collegue hadn't secured the transport boxes properly and I ended up in a car with a rather strong grumpy large adolescent badger! An interesting day! Lol! Anyway, it wasn't my choice so it's not a 'oh I'd like to call him this because I love animals' thing, DH is liking it and he really hasn't had much to do with badgers... . I I think it's like Antsmarching, he knew a really nice Brock growing up.

Tabula- your Brock is lovely! Aw.

Badger.

I would think badger, raise an eyebrow and judge the parents.
Sorry.

It's just not a very nice sound. Brock. Why?

Brock O'hurn. The only thing I think about when I hear the name!

I've never heard of it as a boy's name. I think the image is aggressive and American.

I actually like it, it sounds a bit alternative but in a good way, and I disagree with it being a bad sound. I think it is rare to end up disliking the name of your child because you fall in love with them and they become the name.

Badger
Scouts - the leaders of our local Scouts are named after woodland animals. Area head chap is known as Brock.
Never heard of it as a first name.

I know a dog called Brock - I think it's a great name, but for an animal not a human.

Makes me think of Eddie Brock that turned into Venom, the evil Spider-Man (I have 2 DSs)

Makes me think of pokemon. Sorry! I do like it though.

I know it as a surname. Don't mind it as a first name though. I think it depends on your surname.

I also think badger and my next thought is it is a bit harsh sounding and then I would wonder if it was short for something else as it sounds a bit incomplete on its own .

Don't like it. It sounds like the name a stereotypical American 'jock' would have, like Chad or Bret.

Aren't St Bernard, for example, dogs bigger than badgers? How is the badger Britain's largest carnivore?

You don't tend to find st Bernard's in the wild...

a badger, not a name for a person.

I'm obviously very much in the minority but I like it.
I thought badger first but it doesn't putme off it as a name.

In my experience it's best to ignore what others think if you are happy with a name.

I asked on MN about DS name, pretty much everyone said don't use it, so I used it and we never have negative reacions to our faces

Before I saw this was on the baby name board I thought by "does anyone have a Brock?" You must have been referring to a type of fridge or cooker or pram. Not a name for a baby.

Brock the Badger!

Mind you I doubt his peers will know those books so I doubt he'll get teased for that alone.

It's from Breaking Bad.

Thanks everyone for your honest opinions, I'll show dh this thread later.
. Wuthering- I'm intrigued, what's your dc's name?

Margot- I mean wild animal, quite a few dog breeds are larger than badgers but they're domesticated. We had wolves and bears once, but they're no longer classed as native to the uk in the wild.

Eachandeveryone, a character in Breaking bad?
