DH really likes it, I think I like it?

Reminds me of Kurt Cobain.... don't know if that's a good thing or not?

What do you think?

Have to admit I've never seen the Sound of Music - was Kurt an awful character?

I'm not keen on Curtis - it sounds too American to me for some reason. Also it's 50 cent's name and I'm not a fan!

I know what you mean about it sounding harsh. I think that's why i'm undecided but I like how it's at the other end of the spectrum to the grandpapa trend.

Too harsh for my liking and for some reason am not keen on the letter 'k'.

No idea why.

I do prefer Curtis.

High on a hill was a lonely goatherd.....

Kurt makes me think of the Sound of Music.

It is a good name It's long enough after Kurt Cobain's death for it to just look like a nice choice of name rather than a bandwagon thing.

it's very cool. I always said i'd call my son Kurt, but didn't in the end.
Kurt Cobain is a good thing in my book!
