This is my great-great-great-grandfather's name. Do you like the form Enoch or (the Scandinavian form) Enok more?

I don't think I'd use it, but I've never seen it mentioned here.

It's sort of sweet. Like a little nudge... or e-knock :-X

it has some slight appeal.

though I think a little boy named this would get laughed at, even though it is a legitimate name, it is obscure.

I know a local girl who has 3 children, Charity, Faith and Enoch. Her 4th is on its way (or could be born by now -not sure).

I love the sound and the biblical meaning meaning of Enoch. I think it's time to bring back some of those names from our old family trees! :)

I like Enoch. It has a nice sound and some really interesting connotations.

Too close to "eunuch" in my mind. I don't like either form at all.

Ditto

The first thing that came into my head was "eunuch" too.

I've always had a soft spot for Enoch. I came across this name in my family tree and as soon as I had seen it I looked it up on this website because I wasn't sure if it was a legitimate name. I was pleasantly surprised.

ETA:
Oh, and I prefer Enoch.

In real life, Enoch, but on a character, Enok.

If I used it (which I wouldn't) I would use Enoch
