Rosemary Jane's Baby Brother

  1. Rock

    • Origin:

      Word name or diminutive of Rocco

    • Meaning:

      "rock or rest"

    • Description:

      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.

      Greek

    • Meaning:

      "of the lyre; songlike; a personal, emotive poem"
