So everyone has been posting their teacher's childrens' names, so I though I would share one.
My creative writing teacher has a little boy named Rocco. I think this is how you spell it (prn. ROCK-oh) My teacher is very Italian, and this seems like a very Italian name to me.
I'm not a huge fan of the name---to me, it sounds sort of like a nickname (like Rocky) but it does seem to fit my teacher's son, based on the stories he's told us about his crazy little boy :P
So what do you think of it?
Rocco

I disagree with this name sounding too celeb trendy. To me, Rocco sounds like a dog's name. Actually, I've heard the name on a couple of dogs before.

Sorry, Lilah. The reason that 'celeb trendy' came into mind was because of Rocco -Madonna's kid.
But I do agree that it sounds like a dog name.

I don't like it, and I agree with Zayda though. It does sound celeb trendy. But, I can see it on a dog, more than I can on a person. 
It's too much of a nn. for a person.. IMO.

I don't like it. It seems too celebrity, and too nickname-ish.

Interests:I love writing, reading, sports of any kind(my favorites being basketball & soccer), music, and hanging out with my friends and family.
AND, I of course love thinking of baby names even though that is a VERY far in the future thing for me because I'm still young!

I'm really not a fan, but it's probably because my uncle Derrick's rottweiler is named Rocco, and so hearing it on a child wouldn't eem right to me.
