About Rock
Rock definitely has a macho image, if a somewhat caricatured one, ala The Rock. But with the rise of word names and also of tough guy names, Rock feels more plausible than it did a generation ago.
Pronounced RAHK.
As of October 2026, Rock ranked #5566 in US births in 2025 SSA, peaked at #618 in 1957.
