Rocco or Roscoe

[KatieB356]

Are these names awful? Do you like any of them and if so, which?

Rocco if you have Italian heritage.

Roscoe if American.

If neither think again.

Roscoe

Rocco

Middle name Purvis? (And a brother called Boss)

I like rocco. Rosco would get shortened to Ross which I am not very fond of.

Think they're both awful, sorry.

For anyone with any F1 knowledge, Roscoe will always be Lewis Hamilton’s dog. He was a most excellent dog, but just in case you weren’t aware!

My dog is called Roscoe.

Rocco, I love that name. Definitely was in my top 3 if I was having a boy this time

Yack

Was about to say this !

Agree with them sounding Italian and American.

Others similar ..
Ross - crisp and non fussy
Roland - nice nickname.
Pasco - Easter related
Francisco
Cisco - energetic and cowboy vibes
Scott - smart
Vasco - Vasco Da Gama
Basco - related to Basque regions
Bosco - woods, forest.
Rosco - better spelling than Roscoe

Yep I like Roscoe and like the nn Ross

Dog names.

I like Roscoe and would suggest Roland

Definitely names for dogs. A bit like Benji, Oscar, Milo.

Both pretty awful, sorry.

I hadn't thought of them as dog names before reading pp but I agree with others that they do make good dog names.

Not a fan. To me they both sound like characters out of a lame 1970s cop show or something!

If you like them, go for it. But they're more dog names to me. Although I'm now imagining a sweet, sensitive boy being called Rocco and it's making me chuckle.

Rocco - cool name

I was trying to think of why Roscoe sounded familiar when I have never met anyone with that name - Rosco was the corrupt, inept sheriff in Dukes of Hazzard.

Roscoe is from the Dukes of Hazzard. I appreciate I am showing my age however that’s the first thing I thought of. Possibly anyone from the 80s will think the same.

Neither

Madonna named one of her kids Rocco. This isn’t a problem since nobody your child’s age will know who Madonna is plus he seems to be a normal adult but an fyi that older people might comment. Do you have Italian heritage ?

I think that unless you live in the US where any surname can be turned into a first name, I would assume that Roscoe is a grown man or teen who is called by his surname. I’ve read on here that it’s a dog’s name but there seems to be less distinction between human and animal names these days.

I like both, but like Roscoe best.
