I too prefer Ralphie over Rocco.

User6761 · 23/09/2022 16:18

Definitely Ralph, nickname Ralphie.

Queenieloveforever · 23/09/2022 16:59

Ralphie Is lovely! Is it your 5th?

toastedcat · 23/09/2022 17:31

I think both are cute but love Rocco

Spanielsarepainless · 23/09/2022 17:36

Ralph not Ralphie.
Rocco fine. Sir Rocco Forte was on the radio earlier!

How is that relevant Grin?!

I love Rocco and its spelling, not keen on Ralph or Ralphie.

Lunabun · 23/09/2022 21:56

Ralphie is so sweet, but I really do think Ralph ought to be his legal name. You can call him Ralphie as a nickname Smile

My sons dog is a rocco
its a lovely name but I adore Ralph-Ralphie is really sweet when he’s tiny

Sparklythings1 · 23/09/2022 21:59

I like Ralph/Ralphie.. I also like Raife 🤍

Elspethelf · 28/09/2022 14:14

Ralph has my vote

ChillysWaterBottle · 28/09/2022 14:15

Love them both!

Kanaloa · 28/09/2022 14:24

I like Rocco better. I think it’s a really nice name. Ralph is ok but I prefer Rocco!

OceanbreezeSun · 28/09/2022 14:34

I really like Ralph/Ralphie

Thewolvesarerunningagain · 28/09/2022 14:40

Ralph is lovely but be aware it's slang for vomiting in some parts of the world. Raife or Ranulph could be nn Ralphie without the slang connection

babyjellyfish · 28/09/2022 15:04

I like Ralph, with Ralphie as a nickname.

Rocco is dreadful.

Agree 🤣

Livingbestlife · 21/10/2022 08:17

I like both ralphie and rocco x

S25 · 21/10/2022 12:49

I just personally don’t think Rocco is a name for a person so imo Ralphie is much better but I’d be inclined to put Ralph on the bc and nn him Ralphie?

Lilacsunflowers · 21/10/2022 14:07

Rocco is a porn star

Rocco is a saint’s name. The saint himself was born around 1340 AD so it’s been a name for some time now! So it is a well established name for a human although I know what you mean that it does have a pet-like vibe to it. It feels trendy and modern although it really isn’t.

Thisisnotmyname2 · 21/10/2022 21:30

Ralph nickname ralphie

Roscoe is a name you might like.

Daphnis156 · 05/08/2023 19:01

As Ralph is pronounced "Rafe", I don't know Ralphie would be said.

Rocco is good.
