Cameron? (for a boy)

[badg3r]

On my third iteration of potentials now for dc2, will find out the sex when they arrive. I am NOT GOOD at settling on names!
What do you think of Cameron? Is it becoming super common? What nicknames would they get apart from Cam/Cammy?

[Sophronia]

Makes me think of David Cameron, unfortunately.

[Sugarpiehoneyeye]

Yes, why not. Cameron (Cam).
Cammy sounds feminine.

[Mumzypopz]

I know a couple of Cameron's, but don't think it's a massively common name. I like it. Think they would get Cam, Cammy sounds a bit girly and like Tammy.

[NuffSaidSam]

I love it.

I think the obvious nickname would be Cam.

Could be Ron i suppose?

[HollywoodStunt]

I know a Cameron and liked it until David Cameron came along

[Rockaby]

I'm not mad on it, but it's perfectly nice.

[CheesyChristie]

I think it's quite a nice name. But I imagine people will think you're a Tory.

[Justmuddlingalong]

I have one. Not sure how common it is now, mine is in his 20s. No one has ever mentioned the Tories or David Cameron. It's a lovely name, IMHO.

[badg3r]

I'd not even thought of the David Cameron association... May is out for a girl then too

[TooExtraImmatureCheddar]

My little brother (aged 15) is a Cameron. He doesn't get it shortened. It's quite a common name in Scotland for his age group - think it was most popular name in 2001, or something.

[thisismadness77]

I like it. The only Cameron I knows gets Cam occasionally which is nice.

[KatieScarlett]

In Scotland it is a very very common name. I know 5 Camerons.

[ChippieBeanAndHorro]

Lovely :) Makes me think of my great-granduncle Carmine. Smart, generous, brave and also very cunning man.

It's a rather fabulous name!

[crapfatbanana]

I do really like it and we had it on our list (it would have honoured a family member) until David Cameron came on the scene and it really spoilt it for us.

If you don't mind that association then use it.

[flumpybear]

Love it!! I have a Cameron too so I'm biased lol

[badg3r]

Yes it is the Scottish connection that I like, we are unfortunately unlikely to live there though so common in Scotland not a problem. I think there were two in my school year (a while ago now!) so I guess it has become more popular since I left.

[JinCa]

Cameron / Cam is lovely. (usable again thanks to Theresa)

[triskele]

It makes me think of Dave too.
But I do like the name!

[ToastVacuum]

I think of David Cameron too (which puts me off). But as the years go by this won't occur to people as much.

[BaymaxismyHero]

Really like it. David Cameron doesn't spring to mind.
