Name too weird?

Question

Some background: My name is Annie and my husband's name is Peter. I'm from Texas and my husband is British and we both come from families with very traditional, mostly Biblical names (Sarah, Jonathan, Joshua, James, David etc)

We found out we are having a boy! And one of the names we can't seem to shake the idea of is Rockson. I like it because his dad's name is Peter (who was called the Rock in the bible). We are thinking he could go by Rocky or Rockson and we'll give him two middle names to choose from in case he hates it as an adult.

We are planning to keep the name a secret from our families until the birth. But I'm just anxious about how they will react because it's so unusual.

Too weird of a name? Thoughts?

Answer

I like it, I personally think Rockwell is a little cuter. But it's your child, you name him what you want. We are planning on naming a son (if we have one) Eisenhower, and calling him Ike for short. But we are going with a very traditional/ standard middle name.

Answer

I love this name! Especially the connection to Peter! So cool!

Answer

I think it's cute. Different but still works. You can call him rocky, or rocko.

Answer

I like Rocky. I had a good friend named Rocky and I think its cute :)

Answer

Awesome feedback y'all! I am glad we are keeping it a secret from family who might be shocked and make a fuss before the baby is born, but it's great to have some positive feedback 😊

Answer

My brother's nickname is Rocky (not related to given name at all) and its memorable, not at all weird. If you two agree on the name and it feels right, go for it!! Plus you already have nicknames picked out. Trust your gut.

I like Rockson but I wouldn't call him Rocky.
