I've been crushing on Rocky lately. It has that 1950's feel that I really love. 

 

However, I would want it as a nickname instead of an actual given name.

 

I'm wondering if you guys could help me brainstorm what I could use it as a nickname for.

 

I guess technically it could be for any name, nicknames like Scout and Buddy are used like that, but I think I'd prefer it to be at least slightly based off of the name. 

 

I thought of Ronan but don't love it. I know Rocky is technically for Robert(o), but I'm not big on that.

 

So any feedback/ideas please!

I absolutely LOVE Rocky. I had Raquel *Rocky* on my list for a while. I like them on both genders, but more preferably girl...but here's some suggestions-

Rocco
Rockefeller
Brock
Rockwell
Rockford
Roark(e)
Roderick/Broderick (kind of a stretch though)

Like any? It was kind of tough thinking of full names, lol

thank you, Karina!!

 

I really like Rockwell and Rockford. I wish I could get away with using Rockefeller and still stay out of politics!

Immediately I cringed, because Rocky comes off as a dog name to me, but as a nickname I don't think it would be too bad.

 

Karina got all the main ones. Anything I can offer here would be looser... And like you said, it could really be for anything. I'd say any R name you like could work. 

 

Rogan (like Brogan but without the B )

Rudy (although this one offers handsome Rue as a nn)

Reagan

Ronan

Ronald

Rowan

Russell

Rocky is cute. I've seen it for Roxanne and Rocco.

Cant think of any that haven't been suggested though maybe some "rick" names could go as Rocky as well
