Boq

Boq is a masculine name of American creation. Wicked fans will recognize this moniker as one of the Munchkin characters in the novel, stage musical, and film who’s known for having a friendly, good-natured spirit. While this name is an invention by author Gregory Maguire, it may come from the Old German last name Bock, meaning “buck” and referring to a male goat or male deer. Since animals play an important role in the musical, it’s fitting that Boq is connected to two animals that can represent anything from elegance to endurance. Bock may also translate to “from the beech wood” or “beech wood worker,” adding to the title’s nature-themed aesthetic. There’s plenty in the world for baby to explore, from the theatre to the great outdoors. Baby Boq will have plenty of time to decide which place they prefer.
