Now the Queen's Park forward is hell-bent on making a name for himself on a cup final stage just as cousin Aaron did as a teen.
Rocco Hickey-Fugaccia - his dad's family are Irish, his mum's are Italian - has featured every step of the way to today's Trust Trophy Final against Livingston.
At 16, then Hearts talent Aaron became came the youngest to start a Scottish Cup showpiece in the modern era against Celtic in 2019, only injury holding him back now at Brentford.
It hasn't come easy for Rocco either. Released at 15 by Hamilton before playing for Drumchapel Under-20s, he got his foot in the door with Queen's B team via Livi.
His first start came in this tourney last October, after which he quipped the Spiders kitman had been faced with "a uniquely long, annoying second name" that wouldn't fit.
