Roscoe

[badg3r]

Have I lost it? Is this terrible?! For a boy.

Sounds more like a dogs name

It's awful.

And in some regional accents will sound even worse.

Dictionary definition is that a roscoe is a hand-gun! That would put me off

@Winter hmm yes this is what I fear my brain is trying to tell me. For clarity I am naming a human boy, not a canine. Although apparently there are as many Roscoes born in 2018 as baby Rosses.

Not a good idea if you live in Greater Manchester, it’s the name of a pretty infamous roundabout which is mentioned regularly on the traffic news.

I like it!

Can’t get past The Dukes of Hazzard.

Dukes of Hazard!

Makes me think of Tesco and Costco

Or Seb Coe (Sebastian Coe)

Don’t do it.

Dukes of Hazard too sorry.

Well unless you want him to grow up to be a 50s gangster then maybe.

Peeee Coltrane

That's a surname

So this was our name for DC3 is she would have been born a boy. Other names we considered

• Casper
• Axel
• Jackson

I hate them all now

Apart from Casper

😂😂😂 these responses are brilliant!! Ok. Not Roscoe. Although there are apparently 17 of them in England turning two this year.

England’s a big country. I know 17 idiots and I don’t know that many people 😂

I know several Roscoes. But only because that's their surname.

Awful.

It is also the name of a chicken chain in the US
Google "Come to Roscoe's"

Sheriff Roscoe P Coltrane, Dukes of Hazzard

I know an Australian called this. He’s a great guy.

I don’t see that it’s any different from any of the other surnames as names popular with people on here.

What about just Ross?

I like the sound of it. It's a shame it seems to have negative connotations.
