Ok I am totally stealing Hannah's idea from this blog post, but I thought it was pretty creative so I set out to search for some other Roc's in this world. A few I knew of, others I found out for the first time. I am sure there are more out there but I figured this was enough to prove to Stella that Roc is actually a name. Now you know Stella-we did not make this name up!
Some are spelled Roc and some are spelled Rock. For those of you that don't know-Kevin originally chose this name for a boy when we were pregnant with Ella and we decided to stick with it for our second child. We of course first hear this name due to the famous Husky football player who's name is Roc. Kevin wanted to name him Roc Alexander Futrell, but that I would not go for that as I don't like the name Alexander. Ok so here they are... in no particular order.
Roc Alexander
Rock Hudson
Roc O'Conner
The Rock
"Roc"
Rock the rapper
Roc Hoover
Also Peter means Rock. Now I don't particularly care for that name but he was one of Jesus disciples and don't forget the lyrics in the hymn "The Solid Rock", so there is some spiritual emphasis behind his name.
If anyone out there knows anymore Roc's I loved to hear about it-famous or not.
The first post of many!

Very interesting. I have been trying to think of others but haven't come up with any yet.
I love his name and I am so glad you chose it for him. He is the perfect Roc!
That's cool to do a little name study. I didn't realize there was so many! We thought we were pretty original with Hudson, and had never heard of anyone with that as a first name, other than Hudson Taylor. :) But in the last few months, I've heard a couple people that have named their babies that!
With this question PLEASE keep in mind where I am from. What is the Full name of "the famous Husky football player who's name is Roc"?? Please Washington natives do NOT laugh. I am now moving onto to NCCA 2008 basketball ...GO KU JAYHAWKS! ~tscp www.tscpgraphics.com
I don't know a rock, but a friend of mine named his son Stone. Same family. ;)
