Writer Hunter Davies - married to novelist Margaret Forster. It always struck me as an unusual name, but manly.

Gladiator

It's bloody awful. And tacky.

I like it, but as someone else said it needs the right surname, and perhaps even the right family iykwim?

rosebery · 20/01/2012 16:22

Hmm no. Makes me think of the gladiators tv programme. Wasn't hunter the one that dated ulrika johnsson?

I had a thread about this when PG with DS as DH was desperate to name him Hunter, general consensus was don't do it.

I really like the name but I wouldn't and didn't use it in England as hunting has such a poor reputation, I also think it would be pretty difficult name to live with if you were a skinny spotty geeky 13yo.

If I was back in NZ, Canada or anywhere else with a similar attitude to hunting I would use it no problems.

Imagine you call your DS Hunter. Now imagine he grows up to be 5' nothing tall and an IT consultant. It's a lot to live up to, right?

woolly76 · 20/01/2012 15:51

Sounds a bit silly and faddy

I have just named my boy Hunter just because of the reason that he looks hunter.

My cousin has just named her little boy Hunter, but then she does live in Pennsylvania!

ilikeyoursleeves · 31/05/2009 22:10

Makes me think of Bear Grylls, sorry!

littlelamb · 31/05/2009 22:09

There will only ever be one Hunter
I do like it though. Needs the right surname with it though

thelollipoplady · 31/05/2009 22:04

are you my dh in disguise pineapple?! hunter's on his shortlist ... not mine. it also includes thor and orion...

Heated · 28/05/2009 21:07

It is very romance novel, where the men are rugged and laconic and have brothers called Tate and Ryder. One of those names I secretly like but would never use.

jkklpu · 28/05/2009 21:04

big game

janeite · 28/05/2009 21:03

I have seen (and liked) Paris, Texas.

Don't like Hunter at all though, sorry.
