Whats the thoughts on Austin ?

[clairebear88]

Hi All

What does everone think of this name as I cant make up my mind. Goes really well with my surname

Like it a lot! it;s difficult to find boys names that are unusual without being wacky, and Austin is a great one!

actually I think it's a bit chavvy. Sorry if we're not allowed to use that word any more. But I do.

I like it. I know a young guy called Austin. He's very dashing actually!

Noooooooooooooooooooooooo! It's an old man's name and the only person I've known with it was a rather horrid old man.

I quite like it.
I wouldn't say 'chavvy' at all!

I know a really lovely bloke called Austin

I know a nice eight year old called Austin.

I know a very cute 6 month old Austin.

Unusual but not at all 'chavvy'

Healey, Allegro, Powers.

It's nice but makes me think of SCD atm (Austin Healey) and Austin POwers.

powers or texas

or allegro

Dd has a friend called Austin, his mum is americain/

I like it.

Austin Allegro, Austin Powers ... no, don't like it.

Yeah baby, yeah
Sorry - no, Austin Powers connection is too strong for me!

I like it.

Allegro or Powers

Not keen.

Like it - currently top of our boys list. worried that X Factor's Austin will see it rise in popularity though

I don't like it.

Ok, I think it really depends on the surname but you seem confident that yours goes. Ours would sound ridiculous and it's hard to set that aside.

I like it.

I used to pretend it was my surname when I was a teenager.

I know a 12 year old Austin - I like it a lot.

I know a 7 year old Austin. I think of Texas too.
