was one of dh's favourite when I was expecting dc1 (and I was swaying towards it!) dc1 turned out to be dd1 and she has a big standard common name now

Depends if you like surnames as first names. Same vein as Harrison, Jackson, Cooper etc to me. Sounds American.

I like surnames as first names - but you do have to think of nick-names that children will get.

Having said that my son's name is a terrible american surname/nickname combo so go for it!

I agree with choufleur. to me Fletcher is always preceded by Norman Stanley.

Sorry, but the only Fletcher I have know (and that was his surname) was known as Feltcher.

Not a typo or nickname I would want associated with my child.

Bad. Unfortuntely I know a Fletch(er). He is a moron. Referred to either as Wretch or Letch.
