PacketOfBiscuits · 15/05/2012 16:20

Too political in a fox kind of way.

Showmethemhappyfeet · 15/05/2012 16:22

I love it!

DottieRose · 15/05/2012 16:23

I like it....really cool...has that American vibe to it!

sonniboo · 15/05/2012 16:25

Neither (pretensious nor cool) imo. Sounds quite surnamey to me.

RabidAnchovy · 15/05/2012 16:39

I like it

lisaro · 15/05/2012 16:40

Bloody awful. Truly, truly awful.

squoosh · 15/05/2012 16:44

Neither pretentious nor cool.

Sounds like a character in an American teen drama.

I like it :)

Gladiator

MardyBra · 15/05/2012 17:32

Sorry, smacks of pretentiousness to me.

Also makes me think of Gladiators and wellies.

Bunsouttheoven · 15/05/2012 17:36

'Hunter ready!' - def Gladiatorrrrrrrs

CheerfulYank · 15/05/2012 17:42

Don't like it, but it's become very...for lack of a better word, "chavvy" where I live. (U.S.) So that's probably why I don't like it. It's on par with Jaydin, Kayleigh, etc here.

Annunziata · 15/05/2012 17:42

Wellies?

Floggingmolly · 15/05/2012 17:43

Pretentious. Did you really think it was cool? And why must a name be "cool" anyway?

MrsJohnDeere · 15/05/2012 17:47

Wellies

SilkStalkings · 15/05/2012 17:57

I quite like it, has a sort of American literary vibe to it somehow, but you have to remember the nickname that will begin with C.

NaturalOptimist · 15/05/2012 18:12

Agree with sonniboo

WithACherryOnTop · 15/05/2012 18:30

Love it.

Spinity · 15/05/2012 21:02

flogginmolly names don't have to be cool at all. It was an arbitrary adjective I chose to ask the question. I don't know how I feel about the name, I was just canvassing opinions.

silkstalkings I too had thought of the unfortunate rhyming of thx nn Hunt... Grin

I knew a Hunter when I was a teenager, and he was gorgeous, so I've always rather liked the name ...........

SodoffBaldrick · 16/05/2012 01:27

Pretentious...?! Hmm Um, no...

Not cool either. Not to my taste.

ThePoorMansBeckySharp · 16/05/2012 03:19

I think it's kind of tacky, to be honest.
