HelpKarl Roch and Robert Peter
in reply to a message by BBH
Karl and Robert are my tops right now, although I have about twenty boys' names that I fairly consistently cycle through. And honestly, if I had a significant other than vetoed eighteen of them, chances are really good that I'd still like whichever two were left when they were paired with each other. I tend to be warm on a whole lot of boys' names all at once for a long time, whereas with girls names I'll cycle through maybe one favorite combo and a lone name and that'll be it.
So, Karl Roch and Robert Peter. Although, like I said, mix those around and I"ll probably still like them just as well. I would only not do Roch Karl; the ch-k makes me stumble. I don't mind repetition but it has to be a sound that can easily roll from one name to the next. Peter Roch, for example, works just find for me.

I've never heard of Roch before. Where does it come from? How is the "ch" pronounced? Like an airy "kh" in Scottish Lachlan, or exactly like it looks in English, a "ch" as in church? Is the "o" in Roch long ("oh") or short ("ah")? It reminds me of Roque, which I love.
Not knowing how it's pronounced, it's a little difficult for me to say how I feel about Karl Roch. But Robert Peter really makes me smile. Both names are underappreciated, probably due to overuse in teh past. But they are both ready for a comeback, big time.
Hmmm. Karl, Karsten, Casper Maximilian, Oscar, Oswald, Frederick, Ludwig. Am I detecting a Germanic / Anglo-Saxon trend for boys in the works? I hope so. Very handsome.
