We are toying with boy names. Our last name is Moskow. What do you think of Wade Moskow?

I spent 7 years at school with a Wade and still think it's a very odd name, and not in a good name.

Agree that your surname is cool, and Wade drowns it out.

We aren't in love with Wade, but we want something that isn't super common and a little masculine (my husband wants that).

We did like
Hawk or Hawke
Dylan (maybe too common)
Jensen
Dean
But I'm not sure if any of these are the one. I would love suggestions.

Don't like it

bridgetreilly · 03/05/2018 09:37

Maybe Ward? Or for super-cool points, Hereward, nn Ward.

No it's not for me.

It's something you would do through mud (for example) isn't it? Awful.

TheLastNigel · 03/05/2018 06:28

Really no

tootstastic · 03/05/2018 06:20

Sorry I don't like Wade either, it always sounds a bit wet.

Try other single syllable names like:
Jude
Claude
Kip
Heath
Finn
Nate
Max
Rex
Gabe

I agree with Scrub. It’s Wayne with a heavy cold. Awful.

Bubblysqueak · 03/05/2018 05:17

Personally I wasn't keen, but I now look after the most lovely little boy called wade and now it just seems like another normal name.
Names often sound weird until they are attached to somebody .

ScrubTheDecks · 03/05/2018 05:08

Not Wade. Sounds like Wayne with a bad cold.

There are many other names out there.

Ollym · 03/05/2018 04:36

Lol, i love it actually but it does sound like a confederate slave owner sadly :(

Iwasjustabouttosaythat · 03/05/2018 03:55

Wade is awful.

HerRoyalNotness · 03/05/2018 03:51

It’s very 70s Australian. I have a cousin by the name. Must be something nicer that you like

isthisspring · 03/05/2018 02:47

What appealed to you about the name? That might help us suggest other names.

Bexter801 · 03/05/2018 02:31

I love the name Jude

Sophronia · 03/05/2018 02:31

No, I don’t like it.

HappyLollipop · 03/05/2018 02:28

It mainly just makes me think of deadpool if you don't mind that association but I do know one guy called wade and he suits it. I don't love it but I definitely don't hate it either.
