Today at work, I met two twin boys who couldn't have been more than 4 years old. Their names were Major and Thor.

Also at work today was another little boy named Jonas, nicknamed Jojo.

Last week my husband and I were at Office Depot, and the twenty-something-year-old girl who rang us up was named Rockee (Rocky). I felt bad for her, honestly...

Although I probably wouldn't use it, Jonas isn't that bad of a name. Rockee strikes me as a dog name or a nickname for something.

I knew a girl in elementary-high school named Raquel & she went by Rocky. I would hope Rockee is a nickname.
Major & Thor = dogs. However, I know someone who named their son Major (their last name is a popular & classic male first name)...I don't like it.
Jonas is cute.

My friend's middle name is Major; it was a family name. I think it's interesting. Thor is not a name that I would use, but I can understand why somebody might use it.

I would probably only ever use Thor for a dog (especially a golden retriever) or a middle name, but it's a cool name. Major is a rank and would work better for a pet.

I like Jonas. However, JoJo is a distinctly female nickname to me for three reasons: the teenybopper singer (Joanne "JoJo" Levesque), a '60s figure skater named JoJo Starbuck, and my younger sister, JoJo (real name: Josephine). It just sounds odd on a boy to me.

Rockee looks unnecessarily misspelled.

My boyfriends brothers names are Major, Colonel and Admiral lol. I thought he was joking the first time he told me, or that they would at the very least be nicknames.

Todd! (Along with Major, Colonel, and Admiral, he also has brothers Mike, Harry, and Wesley)
No clue how 3 got the rank names, while the others got fairly standard names.

Jonas isn't bad. Major, Thor, and Rockee sound like they belong on dogs.

My youngest is Jonas so I love the name, I dislike Jojo but we end up calling him that sometimes anyway. Mostly Mojo Jojo because that's what my older two call him.
