"Enoch Powell, English politician, academic, and poet, brought political and scholarly heft to this name." Yikes you might want to read up on Powell's career. Let's just say most people would be inclined NOT to use the name because of him

I think Boardwalk Empire is actually the greatest influence. Enoch may be a criminal but there is some gangster allure. Besides, the show definitely influenced hairstyles. Why not a name too?

I have been playing around with a family tree and found my great-great-great grandfather was named Enoch. He was born around 1845.

My sons name "Enoc" without the H according to family tradition, I loved it the first time I heard it. It's also my husbands and his grandfathers name, an uncles and a few cousins...it's a very popular name in our family but weirdly outside of our family no one really has heard of it.
