Hubby and I want to name our son Rocket.. any thoughts about this name? He came up with it, and even though I think it’s very outgoing.. I actually like it.... what do you guys think.. bad idea? Do you think I will regret it?

Reminds me of a dogs, ya know, “red rocket” ..I’m not sure why, and I’m sorry for putting the image in your head. I think teasing may come into play with a name like this. I hope I didn’t hurt your feelings, because I like the idea behind it and I think it’s cute your guy came up with someone so unique. I wouldn’t chose it myself, but if you like it, keep it.

Isn’t this the name of the raccoon on guardians of the galaxy...? I can’t remember. I personally wouldn’t, but if you two like it that’s all that matters.

It would be a cute name for maybe elementary but once he hit middle school till he graduates high school he may have it rough with being teased and picked on.

How about Rocco, Roderick, Roger, Ronald, Ronan, Roland, Roscoe, or Rowan?These could all carry the nickname “Rocket” and give him a more professional option for adulthood.

I won’t lie it definitely sounds like something your child will be picked on for. Could you use it as a middle name if you like it so much?

My friend's kid's name is Rocket. It works perfectly for him. If you love it, go for it.
