Maybe the Latin Americans might call him Ringo the Gringo other than that i don't see any problems, especially Rocco (popular name for male pornstars) is a pretty cool name.
Popular name for pornstar?? Serious? Thanks though!
I'm glad to hear other opinion here:
My family will be moving to the US soon, we are from the Philippines. My son's name are RINGO and ROCCO. I heard that these names are used for pet in the US haha!
You think I should be worried about it? Will they be bashed by kids and people there?
It's very popular in Asia as nicknames.
I tried to get rid of my English nickname,then I realized that no foreigner could pronounce my Mandarin name rightfully and they all look pretty painful whenever they try to call me,so I had to stick with my English nickname when I'm abroad or stuff.
It is the same in Quebec: names that even remotely sound like they were inspired by American soap operas are considered to be lower-class by a lot of people.
Those are surnames in the English-speaking world, is there any reason why they have been adopted as Brazilian first names?
I have always been perplexed by the popularity of English surnames as first names in Brazil. And they are VERY popular. My father in laws name is Gladstone and brother in law Emerson.
I've noticed these types of names are also popular in Central America and Colombia.

Very popular indeed.
Parents just have no idea those names are actually surnames.
I think it's because in the USA and UK it's usual that people are known by their surnames, but that's not usual in Brazil.
If president John F. Kennedy is often presented as "president Kennedy", many Brazilians will assume Kennedy is his first name. No wonder there are many people in Brazil called Kennedy (first name).
I believe there are already some kids in Brazil with first name Obama.

Did they do the same thing with Adams, Madison, Monroe, Van Buren, Polk, Fillmore, Buchanan, Hayes, Garfield, Cleveland, McKinley, Taft, Harding, Coolidge, Hoover, Roosevelt, Truman, Eisenhower, Nixon, Ford, Reagan and Bush?
They probably did with Tyler, Taylor, Pierce, Lincoln, Grant, Arthur, Harrison, Wilson, Johnson, Carter and Clinton.
Washington, Jefferson, Jackson and Kennedy are names that are used for sure.
