[name_m]Hi[/name_m] there.

I personally prefer the name [name_m]Jacob[/name_m]. I think that it goes really well w/[name_f]Susannah[/name_f] & [name_m]Jonah[/name_m] (great names!). It is super popular though. You seem like nick-name people. What nns were you thinking for [name_m]Jacob[/name_m]? I think that if you did [name_m]Jaco[/name_m] ([name_m]Jock[/name_m]-oh…rhymes with [name_m]Rocco[/name_m]!), it would make him stand out from all of the Jacobs/Jakes. That all being said, if you guys love [name_m]Rocco[/name_m], go for it. It’s not my personal favorite, but I can see the appeal. It’s kind of cool & certainly unique.

[name_f]Hope[/name_f] this helps. :slight_smile:

I think [name_m]Jacob[/name_m] [name_m]Clarence[/name_m] is a lovely name that fits in very well with his siblings’ full names in terms of style.

But [name_m]Rocco[/name_m] [name_m]Anthony[/name_m] is definitely the frontrunner. [name_f]Zuzu[/name_f], [name_m]Jones[/name_m], and [name_m]Rocco[/name_m] make such a great, fun sib-set. You’re still honouring family with his middle name, and the meaning is quite fitting. A unique name for unique times.

I like [name_m]Jacob[/name_m] [name_m]Clarence[/name_m] more, and I think [name_m]Jacob[/name_m] is a better style match for [name_f]Susannah[/name_f] & [name_m]Jonah[/name_m]. To combat the popularity, perhaps you could come up with a fun, unique nickname to match [name_f]Zuzu[/name_f] & [name_m]Jones[/name_m].

However, [name_m]Rocco[/name_m] [name_m]Anthony[/name_m] is a really cool name, and, if that’s the one you love most, there would be nothing wrong with using it. [name_m]Rocco[/name_m] may feel out of place with [name_f]Susannah[/name_f] & [name_m]Jonah[/name_m], but it doesn’t with [name_f]Zuzu[/name_f] & [name_m]Jones[/name_m]. :slight_smile:

Hmm this is tough

[name_m]Jacob[/name_m] and [name_m]Jonah[/name_m] is adorable. ([name_m]Jonah[/name_m] is one of my FAV boy names)
and I like [name_m]Jake[/name_m] better then [name_m]Rock[/name_m] as nn

[name_m]Jacob[/name_m] is more classic despite its popularity, where [name_m]Rocco[/name_m] is more modern/a bit trendy. (I dont mean this in a bad way at all, but its getting more popular)

I voted for [name_m]Rocco[/name_m] [name_m]Anthony[/name_m] as I like the full name better.

[name_m]Rocco[/name_m], [name_m]Jonah[/name_m], and [name_f]Susannah[/name_f]…

Yea, I like that best the more i think as im typing.

[name_m]ROCCO[/name_m] ! :slight_smile:

I love [name_m]Rocco[/name_m] for you and it feels right for now

While [name_m]Rocco[/name_m] may seem a bit daring next to [name_f]Susannah[/name_f] and [name_m]Jonah[/name_m], it works perfectly with [name_f]Zuzu[/name_f] and [name_m]Jones[/name_m]! I personally grew up with SO MANY Jacobs and Jakes (I always had at least 2 in my classes at school) so while it is a classic, it is much more commonplace than your children’s names. If you do go for [name_m]Jacob[/name_m], I’ll suggest Cub or Cubby as a nickname as something cute and more different.

[name_m]Rocco[/name_m] [name_m]Anthony[/name_m] is so handsome! I think it goes very well with your other children’s names, especially with their nicknames! I think that since you have a family connection through [name_m]Anthony[/name_m] it works well, it’s not like there’s no honor names in the combo.
Though [name_m]Jacob[/name_m] [name_m]Clarence[/name_m] is objectively very handsome too, I think I suffer from an over-saturation of Jacobs, so the name has lost some of its charm to me. I’m also not wild about the doubling of initials that [name_m]Jacob[/name_m] and [name_m]Jonah[/name_m] would have in common, but that’s just a matter of personal preference.
