Nah. It doesn't sounds like a first name at all, and it doesn't have a "personal" feel to it at all. I dislike the nn Brock, too.

Nope. But what's wrong withjust Brock? It's a decent name without all of that pseudo-elegance of a long surname that ends in "ington".

I don't like the name!!!I was just asking what people thought because for some reason I was thinking of an old friend from a few years ago whose name was Brockington nn Brock and I hadn't seen the name on the board so I thought I'd post it. I repeat....I do not like the name Brockington! Hahaha.

Brockington sounds *very* pretentious. Brock on its own is fine, but a bit hard sounding. I think you'd have to be a stud to be called Brock :-)_____________________________________________________________________Elinor

Yuck, it sounds like the name of a town or something! My little brothers name is Brock, I like that much better than Brockington.

Oh gosh, I think it's awful. I loathe the name Brock anyway, but turning a normal name into that mouthful is completely unneeded imo.

If I just say no will that suffice?*

It sounds like a perfect suggestion for Lindsay's request for yuppie names. I can't imagine many names more pretentious sounding.Why not use Brock on its own, if you like it?Array

I don't really like it myself! For some reason I was thinking about an old friend of mine and his name was/is Brockington and everyone called him Brock. Just wanted to see what people thought of the name!

It seems more appropriate as a reply to Lindsay's thread for pretentious sounding yuppie names. Just name the kid Brock.
