So my friend has just announced his baby's name on Facebook, Rocco Red. Am I the only one who thinks she's bonkers?

I quite like it.
However a few weeks ago I was in Tesco in inner city Dublin, when one angel faced little boy shouted to his mate at the top of his voice..

"HURRY THE FUCK UP ROCKO"

Rocco Red? Sounds like a fragrance. Grin

I don't like most names on the Baby Names threads because I'm an old gimmer , but I love Rocco! Not sure about Red, though.

I know a young Rocky. Now that is bad!

That is not a great name. Rocco is pretty bad, but Rocco Red is a brand name not a person's name.

I kind of think you are setting yourself up for a bad-assed child if you call them Rocco. I just can't imagine a well-behaved, studious Rocco - you have to be slightly badly behaved to pull it off..... (Do I still need to put "lighthearted" on here for sentiments like this or do people take them in the manner they're meant?)

Lol, I think your friend is bonkers too. Rocco is a pretty out there name, but useable. However pairing it with a middle name of Red makes it sound like a crazy celebrity name or a terrible entertainer!
