Help with a name that rhymes
| Wed, 01-03-2007 - 10:03am |
This is my first time writing here, so I'll tell you a little bit about me. I am 28 and am 8 weeks pregnant. My due date is 8/11/07. My husband and I are soooooo excited. My question is......my husband is stuck on the name Rocco for a boy. Which is ok, but our last name is giovacco. Is this as terrible as I think it is? And advice is welcome.... Thanks!

I agree with you ... Rocco Giovacco is much too similar/rhymey.
Since Rocco is very nicknamey -- although I know it is a stand-alone name -- why not use it as a nn?
You could use a name with some of the same sound elements as Rocco ...
Riccardo
Roderick/Rodrigo
Ruggero
Lorenzo
Or, since your ln already contains the same -occo/acco sound, nearly any R fn paired with it could easily lend itself to the nn ...
Raffaele
You could also use something like ...
Noah (has the same meaning as Rocco -- "rest")
Peter/Pietro/Piero/Petros (Peter means stone or rock )
Alan (also a "rock" meaning)
And of course you could just use Rocco as a nn even if it has nothing at all to do with the given name. ;)

It would drive me nuts if that was my dh favorite name. Maybe he might like another R name like:
Ryder
Rhys
Ryland
Robert
Roderick
Russell
Rafferty
Sorry, but I would definately avoid it. It doesn't have a nice sound at all. Give us yoru naming style and criteria and we can suggest some names that do go nicely.

I like Nicolas a lot.
I wouldn't do it. Not trying to be mean, but I don't think the combo is good at all.
