Rocky is the name of a character from the YouTube cartoon Battle for Dream Island. He is a sentient rock with legs.He's probably more of an infamous bearer than a famous bearer at this point, because he is infamous for his running gag: his tendency to vomit, and just having a wide smile on his face. He's a rather simple character, but the community seems to dislike him a lot nowadays.Fun fact: Rocky got the most votes to join BFDIA, at 1,008.
Well, I'm clearly in the minority opinion (of this comment section, at least), but I don't care; I love the name Rocky. I think it's awesome. It's a good length, and it's unique but recognizable, a modern classic, if you will. It just sounds like a cool guy's name too.
I love this name. I'm planning to have 4 more kids and I will name them Rocky, Dusty, Sandy and Cliff. Rocky is a name given to a strong, resilient, passionate, generous, honest, inclusive, and mentally quick person. It means rest, and so I imagine a Rocky to be kind and nurturing.
My name is Rocky and I can't even begin to tell you how many times I get complimented on my name throughout my life. Yes I'll always be asked if I was named after the boxer or conceived in the Rocky Mountains or if my parents liked "that one picture show." But I love it. It's super unique that no one really has it, but yet it's very well known and easy to remember because of the movies.
I think it works best as a diminutive or nickname. I think Rocky is synonymous with champion in the U.S. If you like nature-inspired names, Rocky could be a good name for a child born in the Rocky Mountains.
Rocky Balboa is the greatest sports hero in Philadelphia despite not being real.

This sounds like the nickname of a dimwitted macho or a guy who is anxious to be masculine. It makes me think of dumb criminals and ugly, overly muscular idiots. There was once a guy on the Finnish Idol who had changed his name to this, and I thought it was tacky, and a pathetic attempt to be cool. This name will sound very amusing on rather shy and quiet boys, and it makes the bearer sound dumb. This was also the name of some hideously sexist cartoon character in a magazine that used to be funny before that cartoon.
Another famous bearer of this name is Rocky Horror, the (blond, muscled, and tanned) creature Dr. Frank-N-Furter creates in the movie The Rocky Horror Picture Show.
