What do you think of Collier for a boy? Too much like Cauliflower?

Politely op, No.

How about Shearer?

What did you Collier child?

SourDoughToast · 22/06/2023 22:58

Big no from me- it's a job not a boys name!

It would be like calling your kid farmer, secretary or teacher.

DuchessOfSausage · 22/06/2023 22:58

How about:
Nurse
Porter
Judge
Baker
Thatcher
Tanner
Gardener
Cook...

This IS a joke, right?

Chocolatepumpkin · 22/06/2023 22:56

My first thought was boarder collie 😂 sorry op

UsingChangeofName · 22/06/2023 22:56

It's the name of a job, not a person.

continentallentil · 22/06/2023 22:55

Mining

Maybe call him Nicholas and use Cole as a nn. Safer. Also delightfully Dynasty-ish

HeddaGarbled · 22/06/2023 22:54

🤣

DuchessOfSausage · 22/06/2023 22:54

I like it as a surname but it's a bit too much of an occupation surname. cf Butcher, Farmer

Alittlesummeroasis · 22/06/2023 22:54

No. Sounds like a disease.

My entire family for generations were colliers. They occasionally died buried under ground or slowly suffocated from the coal dust.

No I don't think it's a great name for a baby.

Totallyconfusedperson · 22/06/2023 22:53

No…. I used to work for colliers international

cushioncovers · 22/06/2023 22:51

I thought of Border Collie

As in Coal Miner? I think they will be in for a rough ride at school.
