About Dock
A sailing and sea-related choice, which also feels connected to the reparative powers of nature (via dock leaves) and to doctors generally, Dock made the Top 1000 in the first half of the 20th century, though today, it is only quietly and sporadically used.
Similar in vibe to Mack, Jack, and Rocky, it could make a cool nickname for Donovan, Duncan, Frederick, Theodoric, Roderick, or Benedict.
Pronounced DAHK.
As of October 2026, Dock ranked #12697 in US births in 2023 SSA, peaked at #186 in 1883.
