Character in "Brideshead Revisited" with a sceptic foot. And awful in any case

I am a Nirvana fan and I too associate Kurt with Kurt Cobain. So naming my child Kurt may seem like a 'fanboy' thing to do. But my partner and I do like the name Kurt.

It makes me think of the holly oaks character.

It doesn't have the nicest sound or meaning but it's not that bad.

I much prefer Curtis. I think that's a lovely name.

Love it.

Awful, unless you are American. Still awful but more acceptable. ;)

Kurt cobain is what my generation would jump to...

Wouldn't be my choice. I always think of "curt."

I like it but I do associate it quite a bit with Kurt Cobain.

i really like it! it is a lovely little name and would be as cute as button
I once watched a programme with a very lovable character called Kurt!

Don't like it at all. Very 80s feel and the word 'curt' doesn't have a particularly appealing meaning.
