Thinking of using the name Rocco

Thinking of the name Rocco
Really like it
Anyone used it?
What comments do you get ?

I loved Rocco’s Modern Life: en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rocko%27s_Modern_Life

Don't.
It's most famous here in Italy because it's the name of a sleazeball porn star.
Even if it weren't, it's really dated and old-fashioned. It's like calling a baby Enoch. Or Barry. Or Ernest.

Love it but it gets a bad rap on mumsnet.

Probably best not to.

Chavvy round these parts, sorry. Usually a sibling of Jenson/Jayden/Brayden/Cayden

If you are Italian you could get away with it possibly.

This. My friend called her little boy Rocco and at first I thought ‘what a silly name’. Once he was here though it just suited him, and I can’t imagine him being called anything else now. Don’t let anyone tell you it’s a shit name op. It’s perfectly fine, the personal preference of the individuals on here that like to tell you that EVERY name is shit just to be nasty don’t matter.

It’s a bit chavvy I’m afraid

I know of a Rocco. His mum was in my year at school. His brother is called Titan.

I love it, mostly due to Rocco Schiavone.

It’s the sort of name people will assume is cheap and ‘chavvy’

Really dislike it
Sorry

Could you please define what a ‘cheap’ name is, with some examples?

Nooooooo

Hard pass.

Dog name to me😬

It's dire. A 1970's rock star might call their child this.

Nope. In the absence of a better word that's not offensive I'd call it downmarket. Sorry.

Reminds me of rocky horror picture show, you know the scene where everyone is saying each others names?

Chavvy round these parts, sorry. Usually a sibling of Jenson/Jayden/Brayden/Cayden

Absolutely this.
I couldn’t have put it better myself.

It's only one step up from Ozzy (or maybe Izzy) though isnt it?

No I don't like it.

My neighbour has a lovely dog called Rocco 🐶

What is chavvy

Chavvy is a derogatory term for a poor person.

I like Rocco. I know a kid with the name and he is lovely. If you like the name use it!

Offensive term with roots in racial hatred against the traveller community. Says a lot more about the person using the term than it would about any name they consider to be it. Seemingly existed since Biblical times seeing as Jayden is in the Bible.
