I love it-my sons dog is a rocco
it’s a lovely name

OhBeAFineGuyKissMe · 06/10/2022 18:17

Very good name. Only know 1 Rocco and he is a nice guy.

itwasntmetho · 06/10/2022 18:18

I really like it.

chaosagent · 06/10/2022 18:19

I know it's a common Italian name, but my first thought is the porn star (not gonna lie).
I think it's okay but it wouldn't be my choice.

HotChocolateWithMarshmallows · 06/10/2022 18:21

I like it!

Mamoun · 06/10/2022 18:23

There is a super famous porn star called Rocco si Freddy so for me it's a no!

SirenSays · 06/10/2022 18:24

Not a fan sorry. Tbh I've only known it used for dogs, mostly boxers and staffies

clarepetal · 06/10/2022 18:28

My son is friends with a Rocco. He's a lovely boy, I love the name

ploopypleepy · 06/10/2022 18:30

I like it!

greektreacle · 06/10/2022 18:33

Can you pronounce your Rs because for me, even with months of practice, it'd be Wocko.

This is why my son isn't Robin (Wobin).

Lovely name though.

Winterfellismyhome · 06/10/2022 18:35

It reminds me of Rocco's modern life. Bit of a niche reference though i guess

Geamhradh · 06/10/2022 18:35

It's not very common at all in Italy and quite "old-fashioned"
I've only ever met one (named after his grandfather) in the 28 years I've lived here.
Of course, as mentioned above, the most famous one is an ageing porn star.

mycatisannoying · 06/10/2022 18:40

I like it!

Choconut · 06/10/2022 18:49

I like it but do think of it as a dog name.

Orangio · 06/10/2022 18:52

I usually hate these types of names but I actually quite like this one! Didn't know about the porn star, but I don't really keep up to date with porn stars... 🤷

Lavendersparkles22 · 06/10/2022 19:00

I've taught a few, they've always been lovely kids.

11GrumpsaGrumping · 06/10/2022 19:08

I loved it and then I met a horrible man named Rocco and now dislike it!

J0y · 06/10/2022 19:09

I like it.

Isitreally89 · 07/10/2022 08:17

I'm surprised, I didn't think anyone would like it! We are having fertility issues but the name just randomly came to me yeaturday! If it doesn't happen I agree, it does suit a dog so we will just have to get another dog lol 😄

Dreadful

Amdone123 · 07/10/2022 09:35

Awful.

PopcornParty · 07/10/2022 09:40

Bloody hell what isn't a dogs name these days 🙈

Rocco is a lovely name if u like it who cares what other people think xx

FishEagleonthelake · 07/10/2022 10:11

It certainly is one of those "tough guy" names that seems perfect for a particular dog breed; but there's also a Saint Rocco. 😇

CPL593H · 07/10/2022 12:41

Only known one, Italian, gorgeous Grin. I think it's great.
