Son's name debate?

Question

I want to name my son Josiah Rocco. A can't tell you how many people in my family are completely against the name. What do you think? Yea or Nay?

Answer 1

I like the first name and the middle name, just not together. Madonna's son's name is rocco, see what his middle name is to see if that is an option. Josiah Aaron? Good luck, this is a tuffy ; )

Answer 2

I think its really cute!!!.. :))))

Answer 3

My brother's name is Josiah but I REALLY don't know about ROCCO?? Is he being named after the cartoon?

What about......?

Josiah  Mitchell

Josiah Elloitt

Josiah Angelo

Josiah Reiley

Answer 4

i absolutely love it!

Answer 5

Josiah is a great name, but I am not too fond of Rocco.  It is not my child though and you should feel free to tell to name your son whatever you want, do not change it because your family wants you to.  It is your child!

Answer 6

Josiah Rocco is a great name; if that is the name you deem best, that is all that matters.  Your parents used their best judgement when naming you, now it is your turn.  And what is up with all these people who have never heard the name Rocco?  It is an established name, Madonna even named her son that and people still act like they've never heard it.  You name your son what you want, Josiah Rocco is a fine name.  I love it.  Congrats!!!

Answer 7

I honestly really like it. I LOVE the name Josiah. I have a thing about Biblical names. Im not really partial to Rocco, but it sounds really cute with Josiah. If you like it, go for it. Sometimes it just takes time for a name to sink in. My aunt named my cousin Rhett and I thought it was a horrible name, but now I love it and it fits him.

Answer 8

yay because you're the one whose carrying him for nine months plus i think it sounds cute.

Answer 9

Josiah Rocco is a lovely name for your son. Go for it.

Answer 10

I love Rocco! how about Rocco Joseph?

Answer 11

Nay on the Rocco...

Answer 12

Josiah is cute. Rocco actually made me laugh out loud, sorry. I would name my dog Rocco but not my son. What about Josiah Ross?

Answer 13

There is nothing wrong with Josiah. Rocco is a bit strange, but if you like it, then go with it. I mean, who really uses the middle name much anyway..

Answer 14

its ok why not use josiah rocky

Answer 15

I like it a lot, actually. I don't see what is wrong with it. Why is your family against the name? I'm not a huge fan of Rocco, but it's the middle name, and I just love Josiah. I think it flows well, too.

So it's a definite yes, I don't see why there is a debate! I hope you can convince them, but remember, it's your choice after all!

Answer 16

I love Josiah...Rocco is different, it sounds more like a nick name, but it isn't ugly.  He's your son and its a middle name not his first name.

Answer 17

I like it. Nothing wrong w/ Rocco. It's an old Italian name. Josiah is Biblical. good name.

Answer 18

nay

Answer 19

Yay!!!

I really like it :D

Answer 20

Josiah is nice, it is a biblical name, how could your family be against it?. The Rocco part doesn't go with it. how about:

Josiah August

Josiah Ross

Josiah James

Josiah Eli

Josiah Titus

Answer 21

josiah is one of my favorite boy names.  SO cute.  rocco is okay, but i think i would have to hear your last name to put it all together....  it would have to flow really well.

Answer 22

It's your baby so who cares! I think it's a nice name. Some friends of mine are having a boy in a couple of weeks and they chose not to tell ANYONE, not even their parents, the name until he's born. That way everyone will be surprised and no one can have input. I'm sooo going to do this with our next child! My son is Jaxon Pierce and for the most part our family liked it but we got the whole, "why are you spelling it that way, it looks dumb!" I didn't care! That's the way I liked it! I think the naming process is so personal and should be private between partners/parents of the baby. So if it's a name that you love GO FOR IT! If YOU love it then it's perfect for your child! :)

Good Luck & God Bless! & CONGRATS!!!

Answer 23

Josiah is a very good name, but the middle name does not go very well.

maybe another middle name...

Josiah Jonathan

Josiah Anthony

Josiah Matthew

just some ideas & best of luck.
