You've unlocked a secret door... to the story behind Coque's unusual name

 

Cōque got his nickname from a nickname. You read that right: it's derived from another nickname.  Growing up he was given the nickname "Coqui" by his parents; a subject of much conjecture and no one knows exactly why.  Over time his oldest sister cut the nickname down from Coqui to "Coque" and friends and family have called him that ever since. 

He's well aware that his name could be pronounced Coq or Cock (with a short "O" sound), and has heard every joke therein, he prefers you remember to pronounce it with a Long "O" as in:

"Oh wow, that guy Coque can really sing!, or perhaps

"Oh I love Coque's music" or

"Oh wow, that guy Coque loves his fans".

As long as you know it's pronounced like the soda, not like the rooster.

Cōque Ross = Koak Rahs

Coke Not Coque
a rooster with a no symbol Coque NOT Cock

Cōque NOT Cock

Coque Ross Gibson ES 340

Congratulations! You've done it!
