I was told that the meaning is "to badger" not just the aminal. Used in a sentence "thow shall brocc me for thine answer?" or "The baby is broccing to get out."
The broccoli comment is SO original! That may have been the most CLEVER little comment I've ever seen! Give yourself a pat on the back! I think it's a damn fine name. Obviously.
I think Brock is a pretty nice name, although I can see WHY people might think of broccoli when they hear it. The way she said it was pretty stupid, though, if you ask me.

It's the sound a chicken makes "Brock, Brock, Brock" lol.

I don't really care one way or the other about the name Brock, but in my math class, we have a kid named Brock. Everyone calls him "Brock-the-Rock" and I think it is kinda cool but funny. Sometimes people call him "Block" too which is kinda annoying. One thing I definitely don't like about the name Brock is that it sounds too much like "Block" which reminds me of legos. Yea hope that helped somebody decide whether or not to name their kid Brock!

No offense, but this name sounds like the name of a very dumb, muscular, über-masculine guy.
My boyfriend of 8 years is Brock and I love it, he also loves it, we had friends who wanted to name their child Brock, and my boyfriend if he has his way would like to name our child Brock Jr. I think it is a good strong name.
There is this kid I know his name is Brock. When a friend of mine said his name I thought she said "rock". Brock is a dumb name, and I'm sorry, but, I suggest that you don't name your child this name.
I really dislike the sound of it but I'm a big UFC fan and Brock Lesnar has changed my impression somewhat. I think it's a very strong and masculine name but the sound is unfortunately still rather unattractive.
Brock is a character in Pokemon. He is the Pewter City Gym Leader in the Gameboy games and a traveling partner to Ash Ketchum in the Anime TV show. He is a very wise character who wants to be a Pokemon breeder!

I never liked this name, especially after it became associated with the Pokémon character. It makes me think of how Brock fell in love with pretty much every girl he encountered.
My eldest son's name is Brock, and I think it is an amazing name. I've had so many people tell me that it makes them think of someone who is strong, smart, handsome and kind. My sister calls him the strong B-Rock, because he 'takes care' of his little cousins (she has only girls), I think it's great.
I find this a very good, strong name for a boy, not too common, not too harsh. Of course, a lot of people seem to be negatively associating this name with the Pokemon character, but I used to watch Pokemon when I was a little girl, and I seriously don't think that's a bad thing.
