Rockay, pronounced Rock-eye . The parents aren't foreign, they're british. They're from the NE, so I can only imagine where they got it from. Is it even a real name

Rock - tough person
Aye - yes

Poor child.

Are you sure it wasn't Ricky? Pronounced in the style of Eastenders Bianca?

That sounds like they've been watching too much EastEnders and translated 'Rickaaaaaaay' into some kind of Brummy dialect.

Are you sure it isn't Bianca's Aussie cousin, addressing her husband in Benders?

More seriously, not quite sure of the etiquette of denouncing 'realy (sic) awful names' on here, and adding in the origins of the parents. We Geordies have pride, ya kna..

No it is definitely Rockay. I was speaking to a woman (she works in the local shop) and she was telling me. I had to ask her how it was spelled. She isn't a fan of the name either.

Yes, sorry about the bad spelling of really, dodgy keyboard.
