Cassius or Rocco please help decide

[Leadfromtheheart]

Baby is one week old which name ??
Cassius or Rocco
Please help
If you don't like either that's fine
Just can't decide which

I will also say that Rocco is a proud traditional Mediterranean/Italian name, it's certainly not a made up or fad name. Associated with a fourteenth century saint who tended to those sick with plague and plenty of towns in the Mediterranean celebrate the feast of Saint Rocco as the protector of their communities.

Cassius!

Love Rocco!

I know it’s an Italian name but for some reason it seems to be rising in popularity in this part of Scotland and the families I know using it are not from Italy/the Mediterranean region. It’s been hijacked a bit I think, maybe because it sounds bit chilled surfer dude (although Edinburgh isn’t renowned for its surf)

Cassius.

Rocco is very old-fashioned and has some unfortunate connotations to a modern Italian ear. It is very rarely used in Italy at the moment.

I love Cassian, sorry it’s not on your list but wanted to suggest it.
Cassius is cool.
I like Rocco but it’s a little doggy. Roscoe?

Cassian is fantastic

Cassius over Rocco

Cassius

I'd go for Cassius because Rocco makes me think of the porn star. I don't think he makes the name unusable, but he's still not somebody I'd want my kid's name to be associated with.

It's something to be aware of for when your child is older and might Google his name.
