Thinking of using the name Rocco

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

I understood that Chav is the Romany word for people who are not Romany so logically Chavvy cannot be a adjective for them.
I regard it as a description of pretentious behaviour by people who cannot aspire to the genuine/original and who haven’t the good sense or taste to realise this.
Guess it originates from the Romany idea of “otherness” which is generally used in a derogatory sense.

Def not for a human baby.

Maybe a dog

Gangster name from the series Your Honor (is what sprang to mind)

@ScentOfAMemory , there isn't a Jayden in the Bible. There's a Jadon.

@NewBabyonboard , if you use it, you will get comments like 'Oh, what a lovely name', 'Are you italian?'etc but they'll probably thinking what the posters on here are saying.

One of my sons friends is a "Rocco". He is a delightful boy, use it!

I once worked in a factory in Bristol and the cleaner bloke was called 'Rocco' by everyone. I assumed it was his name, or else it was because of the Johnny Rocco character in the film Key Largo. No, it was explained to me, it was 'Rock-o' because he was thick.

Similar enough that you could get away with Balboa or Bullwinkle for the next one

I wouldn't, it is a brand of dog food.

I think it's a lovely name. I'm in Cornwall and my friend's son is called Rocco and I've always thought what a cool name it is. Interestingly I'm originally from Essex where I lived until a few years ago (home of the "chav" apparently, according to a previous poster) and don't know of any Rocco's back there (I only really knew of it previously due to Madonna's son and liked it then too!)

Same where I am too

People on mum's net always say it's chavvy but the only Rocco I know (aged 10) is incredibly middle class. I like it.

Sir Rocco Forte owns a chain of hotels, as did his father, Lord Forte.

I know a Rocco. Didn’t like it to begin with but it has totally grown on me. It suits him.

I like it. The only one we know is from a "nice" family. Brother is Hugo.

It needs to be said with an Italian flourish and you can’t get away with that unless you are Italian

Yes, and he is seventy-eight, which is at the younger end of average for an Italian Rocco!

He has italian heritage on both sides, and is rich, and as @PuntoEBasta posted is nearly 80.

No unless you're Italian and even most Italians wouldn't.

Rocco Pagliarulo (born 21 November 1994, Salerno), professionally known as Rocco Hunt, is an Italian rapper and singer. Proud dad Gino D'Acampo marked his son Rocco turning 18 with some selfies and a photo of the teenager (Daily Mirror Feb 2023)

Do you need me to explain averages?

I prefer Roscoe

Scusi, dottore! Mean, median, or mode?

You think there's something admirable about being 'average'? Like a sheep?

Don't come on Mumsnet and ask for name opinions. Most of the people on here are all up their own arses!
