Your little rockstar deserves a name to match their energy, so consider the name Roche! This well-traveled name has multiple origins and is sure to imbue baby with a sense of adventure. When looked at through its Irish, English, and French roots, Roche means “rock.” Viewing the moniker through an Italian and German lens shows that the name can also mean “rest.” While these two ideas may seem diametrically opposed, they both will certainly allow baby to be whoever they want to be—whether that means they embrace rocking out or love a bit of a lie-in. And while this may be mainly known as a common surname, baby Ro can bring their new name to the forefront!
