The name reminds me too much of Enoch Powell, which is definitely not a good thing! Congrats to the family though.

I find her so adorable! I miss her on DWTS. Congrats! The name is interesting though.

Maybe it means “dedicated” in Hebrew, but it also sounds like “eunuch”, which is the term for men who was castrated. Not a good association for a boy.

The bible is becoming the best baby name book again.

How is it pronounced??

- JMO on August 1st, 2009

JMO,
it’s pronounced EE-nuhk.
In the Bible Enoch was the eldest son of Cain and the father of Methuselah.

JMO, there are apparently differing pronounciations. The most common one I know is E-knock, almost literally how it looks.

- Alex on August 1st, 2009

I though its pron. with CH like in Charles. I like the name Daniel. Congrats to the family!

- Alex on August 1st, 2009

Ammon and Enoch..I can’t pronounce either of her sons names! (ahhh- men and eee-knock) ??

- Ashley on August 1st, 2009

Ashley, not sure about Enoch (like Alex said, there are different pronounciations) but Ammon is like am-un.

Enoch makes me think of Enoch Powell too. Or St Enoch, who was a woman! The mother of St Kentigern/Mungo – Glasgow (UK)’s patron saint. There’s a St Enoch shopping centre in Glasgow, but we’d pronounce it Enoch, with a chuh (It’s difficult to type) sound like in loch.

Enoch is my grandpa’s name. We’ve always pronounced it ee-knock, I’ve never heard it pronounced differently =/ Congrats to her and her family!

- Annabel on August 1st, 2009

I’ve heard of Ammon not Enoch…thanks for the pronunciations

- JMO on August 1st, 2009

I’m from the same area as Ashley. I’ve always heard it said “EE-nook (nook rhymes with look or took). So if it’s a regional thing, that would be my guess.
