We have a [name_u]Beck[/name_u] (short for [name_u]Beckett[/name_u]) and I really like the name Rook as a sibling name.
What do you think of Rook?
Any ideas for a longer version?

Firstly, I love your sons name!
Honestly, all I can think of is a swindler, so Iām not sure about it as a name. Maybe youād like something similar like [name_u]Brooks[/name_u], [name_m]Stone[/name_m], or [name_m]Rocky[/name_m] maybe?

i think rook is okay, but you would need a longer name to match beckett
i like the previous suggestion of brooks. beckett & brooks go well together!
you may also like reid as an alternative?

Rook is a word that means to cheat or swindle people and i use this word in that context alot so i canāt see it as a name
I prefer [name_m]Roarke[/name_m] NN: [name_u]Rory[/name_u],[name_u]Rooney[/name_u] NN:"[name_m]Roone[/name_m]", or even Rocco with Beckett

I absolutely love the name Rook, it was actually on my list for my third. I think of the bird. Gorgeous.

I also think of the bird when I hear Rook

When I hear Rook I immidiately think of the chess piece so I find it hard to imagine someone being named Rook. However, maybe itās something youāll get used to after a while.
As a longer version, Rokus, [name_u]Rocco[/name_u], [name_m]Rurik[/name_m] or Ruarc could work.

Oh my gosh, Rook is one of my favorite names but Iād totally forgotten it. I love Rook, and I think it goes perfectly with [name_u]Beck[/name_u]!

Love it as a brother to [name_u]Beckett[/name_u]! Agree with above - first thoughts are chess & the bird - but I actually think it works perfectly on its own without needing a longform.
If you still want one, I like the suggestions of [name_m]Roarke[/name_m], [name_u]Rooney[/name_u] or [name_u]Rocco[/name_u]

Seems to be a negative reaction to it so how about the E on the end like the surname. Rooke makes me think of the bird? I like it 
The only longer version I can think of is Rookery ?
Maybe youād like [name_u]Raven[/name_u]? [name_u]Or[/name_u] [name_u]Blake[/name_u].

Rook is very cool! [name_f]My[/name_f] first thoughts were the chess piece and the ear piercingāboth random, neutral things that I doubt Iād ever think of again after the first time meeting someone with the name. I didnāt know about the bird or the meaning āswindleā until I read this thread. Honestly though, the latter does put me off a bit. I love the previous suggestion of [name_u]Reid[/name_u] as an alternativeāI adore it on its own, and it feels equally perfect with both [name_u]Beckett[/name_u] and [name_u]Beck[/name_u] imo. I actually think Rook is a little closer to [name_u]Beck[/name_u] soundwise than Iād personally want, just because the ākā ending is pretty distinctive and theyāre both one syllable.

Maybe [name_u]Brooks[/name_u] or [name_m]Brooker[/name_m]?

I love [name_u]Beck[/name_u] & Rook together! āRookieā might slip out every now and then as a subconscious nickname. Personally, I donāt think Iād mind because Rook is still a really cool name.

Not a fan of Rook as a full name as there are so many everyday connections, however, I think as a nickname it really fits in well with Beck.
