I like Rocco :)

I love Rocco! It is such an adorable name. A little boy named Rocco, so precious.

All I can think of is Rocko's Modern Life. Even without that, I don't really care for it.

Though, I really love Roscoe.

I used to work with a great guy named Rocco, so I guess that shapes my impression. To me, it is very masculine and tough guy (which I quite like) and it has some spunk. It definitely has a hipster vibe but that doesn't bother me so much. I don't like it enough to use myself, but I definitely wouldn't mind meeting a little guy named Rocco

If it's pronounced RO-ko, I think it's fine. A bit exotic, maybe.
If it's pronounced ROCK-o, I don't. Sounds sort of affectedly chipper.

It feels like either a nickname (like Bubba, Buddy, or Champ) or kind of silly and over-the-top. Also, it reminds me of Morocco and looks incomplete. That said, I hate Rocky and would way rather see a Rocco than a Rocky.

It's sort of uber-masculine in a laughable kind of way to me, but I think if I saw it on an actual person it would tone it down. I would probably like it under the right circumstances. :-)

I love Roch, though; Peter Roch is one of my favorite combos. Don't ask why I find Rocco kind of silly but Roch suits me just fine!

I've gotten used to Rocco. I used to think it was silly sounding. But I still prefer the sophistication of Roque more.

Not a big fan. It seems pretty hipster. Plus it makes me think of Rocko's Modern Life and Rocco from Boondock Saints. The prior isn't a bad association, but the latter doesn't make a good impression.

I'm not a fan. It does remind me of the cartoon Marie mentioned but it doesn't affect the way I think of it. It's a harsh but childish name in my opinion, like something a seven-year-old boy would want people to call him even though it's not his name.
In general, it's not that bad and I wouldn't mind meeting a little Rocco. I think Rocky is better though. Yeah, I would much rather see Rocky than Rocco.

It reminds me of the old cartoon Rocco's Modern Life. So it will forever be associated with that for me. I don't like it even without the association though. It just sounds like it's trying too hard to be masculine, kinda like Bruno.

I really like it. It's a very nice name.
