Hunter.

DH loves it. I actually do like it too, but living in ruralish England think everyone will think we are bloody bonkers.

I quite like it actually.....which is odd as its not my normal taste. There is something quite cool about it.

I like the name but would assume the family had American connections

I wouldn't think anything. I'd be glad to meet him, I suppose.

Why are people so concerned with 'judging' names..., let's focus on judging people!

Squite nice

I normally like very traditional British names, but secretly I like hunter. I say go for it Grin

I thought of Gladiators too. Other than that I think it would suit an outdoorsey type, long blonde hair, muscular, walks around carrying a spear in his tanned toned arms.......you know the type.x

Wellies, wood-burning stoves... all very apt for a rural baby.

I don't love it, but I don't hate it either...

Maybe give him a regular middle name so he has something to fall back on if he hates it when he's older?

IthinkIamUndecided · 13/09/2011 22:57

Hate it. And I'd find it difficult to use his name without feeling like a prat.

gorgeous - loved it for years
reminds me of Hunter (french accent) in Paris Texas

grumplestilskin · 13/09/2011 23:06

I'ld assume it was a surname, like how in some private schools they all go by surnames IYKWIM

Moominsarescary · 15/09/2011 02:26
