Thoughts on Rockford

mlackerman · January 2019

My husband and I are expecting our second d child in July. We found out a week or so ago that it is a boy. For years my husband has wanted to name our son (if we had one) Rocky Tyler. The name finally grew on me, but I feel the name Rocky shouldn't be the whole name, but would be a cute nickname. So, we decided on Rockford Tyler. Thoughts? We haven't shared the name with many ppl, but I wanted to know what some thoughts are. We figure this leaves options open for the future as far as nicknames or names he may choose to go by

I think both Rockford and Rocky are terrible.

I'd flip it if you're set on those names, Tyler Rockford. That way you can call him Rocky if you want. But I don't think Rockford as a first name works. Reminds me of the team from A League of Their Own, the Rockford Peaches.

What about Rocco nn Rocky?

I immediately think of the kind of crappy city in Illinois called Rockford. I don't like it at all but I think you could definitely use the nn Rocky with another full name. Roderick, Rocco, even Richard wouldn't be too out there for Rocky as a nickname.

Not crazy about Rockford, personally. Adding Robert nn Rocky to the list of suggestions by others.

Definitely not a fan. I agree with others to use a different R name with a nn Rocky. Just think about him later in life applying for jobs and being an adult.
