Cameron?

We're desperately trying to find a name that sounds good with our surname, which is Otter. We think we've got a name if this DC is a girl (Rosalie Joy) but still stumped for a boy. We already have Francis, William and Daisy.

DH just suggested Cameron, opinions on this name?

Great name

If you don't mind the David Cameron connection, and it being used as a girls' name as well (Cameron Diaz) it's fine.

I know quite a lot of Camerons, No ones ever said anything about the DC connection

Cameron Mackintosh seems to have done OK :)

The PM's name is David.

My pfb is Cameron so of course I'm biased.

Why a Cuban man chose to name his daughter Cameron I'll never know! ;)

LOVED this name all my life but can't stand the PM so can't use it... please use it for me!

Camoron Otter?

Sounds fine although I'd prefer a name not ending in 'o' or 'on'.

UnSocialite · 03/07/2012 12:30

I agree that having an 'o' sound towards the end does make the flow a bit odd but there are so few names that flow well with our surname and aren't already used by family members.

Cameron Otter

Notter will be the shortening' notta-chance would be my guess (I have four boys, I know these things sadly)

I have a Cameron. We really struggled to agree on a name we liked as we have a really common surname so we wanted a name that was traditional but not too common.

No one mentions David Cameron when I tell people his name, in fact he is always complimented on what a lovely name it is.

My DP wanted to call DS that but I didn't like it. I don't know why Sad

Lovely name. It always reminds me of the character from ferris bueller's day off.

Hugely popular name north of the border.
