Roscoe

[littlemissm]

any thoughts?

Boss Hogg?

and gladstone

I'm old enough to think of Emperor Roscoe

We use that as a nickname for our friend called Ross.

Makes me think of American pioneer types due to Midlake song Roscoe:

"Whenever I was a child I wondered what if my name had changed into something more productive like Roscoe"

Terrible grammar, nice song.

Oh, and I think it's a cool name.

Roscoe P Coltrane - Dukes of Hazard. Or am I just showing my age?

neolara I was thinking the same thing

i love it! very cool. i think it works because it's like a cross between ross and hugo/jago i can just see a baby Roscoe.

i love quirky names though. i also like bruce, donald, victor, howard..

my dad's cousin who is about 75 is a roscoe so i would have been embarrassed to use it in case he thought it was a bit odd. but other than that, it was so near the top of my list.

Rosco is a huge brand of scenic paint used in theatre/film...that's the first thing I thought of.

It's the sort of name that self-consciously cool parents (eg Fatboy Slim and Zoe what's her name) might bestow on their unfortunate offspring, who will end up changing it in the year between school and university, where he'll be studying Social Work or primary teaching.

Awful. Really, truly awful. If I saw it on my DD's class list, I would assume the parents were wankers.

Emperor again.

As others have said, it's a very self-conscious name, chosen for maximum impact IMO. Yuck.

Dukes of Hazard .

Shows age and prediliction for crap American telly as a child

Lets go Roscoe!

I'm assuming I know that saying because, firstly my Dad used to say it to me as a child, and I guess he must have got it from Dukes of hazard?

OMG I love it!!! If I was having a boy I would pinch your idea! I wish I was having a boy now

DP loved Dukes of Hazzard as a boy

ninedragons, it is a bit cool i admit, but it could be Ross if he does become a social worker!!!

also, give me roscoe over woody any day of the week!

Boss Hogg, sorry.

urgh

I love it! I love the Midlake song as well and it makes me think of the great outdoors!

Could always be Ross or Rossy for short?

ninedragons...roffle

I must be a wanker then ;)

I'm a wanker.

My dd is adamant that if we ever provide her with a brother, we will call him Roscoe Saul. She is 3.2 and decided this about 6 months ago.

I like it a lot.

I love it

I'm quite content being thought of as a wanker.

I may have more DC and may exhibit further wanker tendencies in the future.

I'm cool with it.

And I'm not married to Fatboy Slim either.

I like it.
I think adventurer, sailor etc when I hear that name.
It's cool!
