I think it's beautiful for a boy.

However, dp thinks it's strange to use a name like that when we've never been to the place?

Thoughts?

I agree with your husband...I think a name like that has to have some kind of link.

Everyone would assume he was conceived there!

I see to have read somewhere that it wasn’t Tennessee William’s real name.
It is a bit strange using a place name you don’t have any connection to but then I guess a lot of Children called Paris, Sienna, Dakota etc have parents who have never visited those places.
Your son will be asked many times just why he is called that so you need to give him a convincing reason.

Honestly? It's awful.

Tennessee Williams.

I like it.

It's certainly unusual...
