Anyone know or have an Austin?

[likeaforcefield]

Really like the name Austin but never met any in RL!

Just wondering what general opinions are?

I know an Austin - he's 6, lovely chatty boy.

I think it's a great name!

I know a 40 year old Austin in the UK, never come across any others. It's one of those names that are pretty normal, timeless but aren't overly popular.

I know one. He's a great kid. It's a lovely name.

I know a lovely 3 year old Austin. We are in northeast england but his mum is Scottish

A colleague has an Austin, he's 5. It's a lovely name

I know a delightful little boy with that name

I know two. Initially not keen but it has grown on me. My first car was an Austin metro so let to think I've some affection for it.

I know three. Had it on the list for DS3 but DH said no

I know a 4 yo. He's lovely.

I know of an Austin. His mother is an awful Hyacinth Bucket of a woman not really my cup of tea and calls him Awwww-stin. It has put me off the name as a result.

Never met one but I think it's a great name!

I know or know of about 6 Austins - am in NI. Youngest is 4, oldest is in their 70s.

I know two - both born in the mid 1970s.

Met one yesterday at toddler group. He was 2. Thought at the time it was a lovely name.

I know 2 austins. One is 5 and the other is in his 40's.

I know an Austen. Lovely chap!

I know three under 5. Good name, thinks it's creeping back into popularity.

Oooh surprisingly good feedback, thanks everyone ??

I know one in london, great kid and name. I don't think of it as American.

I know one - he's a nice kid and the name suits him. It's unusual while remaining a solid boys' name IMO. not at all American.

I'm married to one and my son's friend (age 13) is one.

It's not american, it's my OHs mothers maiden name.

he didn't like it when he was young but now likes the fact that if someone shouts it in a pub they usually mean him. :)

They always spell it wrong when they write it on his cup in coffee shops - he either gets Oscar or Aspen

I know two, aged 3 and 9. Both lovely boys so in my head its a lovely name :)

wiggles as far as I understand it is an Irish surname so hence being more popular in Ireland and Scotland too.

I liked it as a name, but I went right off it when I encountered a family whose children's names were makes of vehicle: Mercedes, Bentley, etc.

I kid you not. The mother used to shout at them so there was no missing it.

I know 2 one is about 5 now and the other 17. Both nice enough boys. Name doesnt make me go eww :)
