Or similar. Looking for that level of unusual name for a boy. Any ideas?

Rocco is terrible, sorry.

I feed my dog Rocco, so for me it's a dog food brand Grin

But it is actually a nice name.

Rocco, Ricco and Rocci? I've met one of each, all under 3

I love it, it's awesome.

Reminds me of a cartoon character from Rocco's Modern Life (now have the theme tune stuck in my head!).

I don't like it but like all of Sugar's suggestions (except Bruno) and they're similar.

My DSis just bought a puppy and called it Rocco. Sorry, not a fan

HundredMilesAnHour · 28/06/2017 23:13

Rocco?? No. Definitely not. Are you a Madonna fan OP?

Rocco Forte: hotels.

Oh no, it's awful!

It's not even cool in Italy! Italian children are only called Rocco if their granddad was and they have to honour his memory.

It's very very old-fashioned, and not in a chic way.

I've only known 2, but the image the name conjures up is shirt open to waist, medallion and short cropped curly hair.

Almost was DS' middle name because he was conceived in Morocco Grin Grin

But I didn't think we were cool enough. It's a little bit toooooo cool IYKWIM. Like, truly cool people probably wouldn't pick it. Not saying I'm truly cool of course Grin

BendydickCuminsnatch · 29/06/2017 17:17

Oh but YES to Otto (pp suggestion)! My Italian friends think that's a weird name as only boys with 7 older siblings would be called Otto. But I like it! I was a family on YouTube with the sweetest boy called Otto.

I have a Rocco. I love it obviously! My family are Italian, I also have a Luca.
Other names we considered were

Matteo
Vincenzo
Hugo
Nico
