What do you think about the name Rocky?

Most people think of it as a nickname, what whole name would it belong to?

Reserved for pets and boxers only.

I knew a guy in high school named Rocky (Rockford was his full name) and he was a total nerd. Not a good association for me.

I know three cats with the name, one of which is mine.

my friend has a cat named Rocky too, though he's big enough to be a dog. and my one of my parent's ferrets is also a Rocky but she's a girl. see? the unisex name trend is even crossing over to pets! (they didn't name her, the people they got her from did).

I had a dog named Rocky that got hit by a car...

As far as for a human, maybe find another name that can be a nickname for? It sounds too nicknameish (if that's a word!) to me.

It sounds silly. There's a guy in nursing school with me with that name, and it sounds ridiculous and childish and not professional. Don't mean to go off on the name or anything, but I really hate it.

I've known of two Rocky's for one it was a nickname that everyone called him and for the other I think it's his real name, but I'm not sure. Since my association is with people who are pretty cool I don't mind it.

Honest to God the first thing that I thought was Rocky Horror. "So named for the rocks in his head"

Maybe Rockwell. I knew a guy nicknamed Rocky, and I think that was his first name. But I hope I'd only ever see it as a nickname. Between the boxer, Rocky Horror, and Rocky Road... yikes.
