What can Rock (m) be a nickname for? And please, please don't say Rocky or Rocco... they're so lame... well IMO.

Not sure. Peter or Simon perhaps? :-) Personally I wouldn't say Rocco is "lame", it's a well-established name with a history, it's not anything like Rocky, which is nicknamey and reminiscent of Stallone.

Petrock

Petrock / Petrok/ Petroc is a Cornish boys name. St Petrock is the Patron Saint of Miners.

It's pronounced Peh-trock rather than Pet-rock :)

Just look for surnames or places that have Rock in them, like Rockford. Personally, I like Rock by itself.
