[shaqpe]

Not yet pg with #2, but just getting your opinions on the name Rocco?
Really LOVE it, have done for a while but never dared to get opinions IRL as a bit scared of getting flack!!!
Comments???

Rocco Forte and Madonna's kid come to mind.

It's ntmpt but does it fit with your other child's name?

Is other child called Lourdes?

Rocco Forte is the only thing that come to mind here too. And then that makes me think of Little Chef.

DS is called Tyler.. yeah I know, according to most of you on here "chavvy", but he's the only one in the nursery school, and also the only one under our health visitor so hey there's hope and I still LOVE it as much as the day I named him.

We have a difficult surname.

Storm.

I just love Rocco Storm.

Am I being daft?

If so, slap me!

storm is a totally brilliant surname - what d'ya mean difficult?!

Rocco a no-no

pointydog... my OH's fav girls' name was Summer...
Summer Storm?
More difficult than you realise!!!
I also like Zane but it sounds like one word ......zanestorm
see????lol

A boy at our nursery is called Rocco. But then his dad IS Italian.

Otherwise I would say its a no-no. (unless mum is Italian of course)

weell, shag - if I may call you shag - I think the problem is with your choice of first names, not your surname

Go for it. I'd be tempted to give him a more traditional mn though.

If you like it then go for it!!! Who cares what anyone else thinks! You don't like everyone else's choices all the time so it doesn't matter if some people don't like yours!!!

I think it's hideous. I don't think I could take anyone seriously called Rocco.

I knew an italian Rocco. I would just think it's an italian name. I would be surprised if any one non -italian used it.

If you like then go for it

... but his name is typical for the classlists that give the most gyp to teachers. Very much dislike it. But he ain't my dc, so you have to go with what you want.

Rocco only if you are Italian.

btw storm is a fab surname and will always be memorable. One of my best friend's surname is Wilde, which has same kind of connotation. Her kids are called 'traditional' names and they therefore sound like fanous writers and actors, rather than the latest excludee from school.

I would also go for a traditional first name if Storm was my surname.

Rocco Storm, two things spring to mind, either a Rock Star or headlines in the Crime Section of the local paper.

Then again, James is the most common first name for criminals.

Name him Rocco, everyone will remember him

James is a popular name - not just for criminals! [shock}

my friend has this high on her list for dc3 due in 4wks along with rufus and raphael

if you love it, use it no matter what others think its your child and your name

just fyi her dcs are called Luca and Lola

you asked to be slapped... sorry but its bloody awful.

I agree you do need an italian connection.I like Rocky though
