Rocco

Thoughts on the name Rocco?

For dogs and low-grade influencers.

I love it! 👍

Chav central

Same.

also it’s Cheesy (in a non Italian context)

Too rocky horror for me I'm afraid! And I love Rocky horror, but not for a babies name

I absolutely love it !!!
It has history "st rocco" so it's not a new fad name
It's not too common, unusual yes, but not too out there!
Super cute and cool that would be great for a baby toddler teenager and adult
As for porn star well who actually cares
Chavvy no
Great for a dog but let's face it dogs are given the best cutest cool names so great for anyone!!
I think it's an awsome name if you like it who really cares what people think 🤔
Who wants boring !
I say it an awsome name go for it x

Pornstar, sorry. I don't even watch porn.

Well if that's what you think of show the level of your mentality x

It's not a dog's name, hate this, dog's do not own names. My grandson is Rex, he is not a dog sand my great nephew is Felix, he is not a cat, the cat doesn't mind... think outside that little box people!
It is a lovely name, don't give a stuff what anybody thinks, better than being a sheep... now what is a sheep's name!?

I'm not mad about it. Kind of name footballers were giving their son 10 years ago.

Exactly agree with you Mimilamore!
A name is a name whether it's for dogs, cats, babies and even sheep 😆
As long as you love it that is all that matters
People will always have opinions good bad ugly but who actually cares there's no right or wrong!
At the end of the day go for what you love don't follow the crowd don't be frightened to be individual be happy and confident
Rocco is a brilliant name !!

It is very much an old man’s name in Italy and not in a chic way. A bit like naming your baby Nigel.

It's a good job we are not in Italy then 🤣🤣🤣

What a weird thing to say.

Not as weird as saying rocco is the equivalent to nigel very strange

I’m Italian and it is, in Italy. If you’re going to use a name from another country it’s a good idea to know how it’s perceived back there even if you decide you don’t care about that 🤷🏻‍♀️.

I like this board because people are knowledgeable and happy to share that knowledge so that parents can make informed choices, rather than a load of ‘u do u ignore the haterz hun’.

Have a nice evening.

Oh I will have a lovely evening
Thankyou so much xx
Oh and no I don't care if in your opinion its the equivalent of nigel
Very weird
I have family in Italy so I know its origins and popularity whether people like it or not at the end of the day its irrelevant
If someone likes it what does it matter
Oh and by the way i also like the name nigel 🤣
Thanks hun sending lots of love xx

Did you decide to use Rocco for your own baby in the end? (Your thread in September had you undecided)
I'm guessing so, given your support for it.

If someone likes it what does it matter

Are you new?

As for porn star well who actually cares

As this thread shows, quite a lot of people!!

Oh dear.

Love the name rocco 👍

Riccardo is very popular in Italy at the moment and might have a similar feel.

I have registered to post this - my friend and I had exactly this conversation this week and she sent me a link. I am British but I am married to an Italian and I live in Italy. Rocco isn’t quite like Nigel in Italy. It is old-fashioned but there is also a slight innuendo to it due to the connotations other posters have mentioned. It would be more like naming a boy Dick or Roger, or a girl Fanny.

This is really specific to Italy however and if you don’t have any plans to travel here then I don’t think most people in the UK would know anything about those connotations!

Have taught a few - always seemed to become violent drug dealers. So no from me.
