What do you think of Logan?

[Koalafications]

DH really likes it, I'm not so sure.

I only know one Logan who is from a vair posh family

The only other Logan is Wolverine.

What do you think when you hear the name Logan? If you know a Logan, what are they like?

I absolutely love it but it is sadly very much down with Jayden, Scarlett and the like as mentioned by someone else.

Are you Australian, Koalafications? If so, you'll understand that 'Logan the Bogan' is a possibility when DS starts school.

I like it it was on my lis... to my ear it sounds American even though I know it's not.

It seems to be fairly well like atm. It's seen a bit of a surge in popularity from just in the top 100 to top 30 over the last decade iirc. I think it's because of the rise in the surname, American type name. Logan, Harrison, Harvey, Hunter, Bailey, Taylor etc. To me it fits in with that 'type' of name. Not my kind of thing tbh but that's just personal preference.

I tend to think of Logan's Run too!

My ex-SIL always disliked it because of "Logan The Bogan". She's Australian!

Agree with Waiting.

Wolverine

Really don't like it at all sorry

I don't like it. It might depend on your accent, but it sounds bloody awful round here (Yorkshire). Just thinking about yelling it across a park makes me shiver.

Sounds very dank and dour. Not a nice first name

I work beside a Logan (I'm in Scotland) and he is a very nice young man. He would have been born mid-80s. I don't know how popular it is now - none of my friends with young DCs have a Logan.

Unfortunately the Logan I known is only a few months old so no idea what he'll be like but his mum is the chaviest person in the playground

Surname or the kind of name a teenage character from an Australian soap would be called.

I don't know any Logans in real life, so I go straight to Wolverine, and then Logan Echolls from Veronica Mars comes in second place. And then maybe I think of loganberries. None of these are bad things!

Really common up in Scotland. Loads of them and often chavvy wee radges.

I'm a teacher and they are little pests.

It's the name of Boston's airport

LOL at agent cooper thinking laird is a posh scottish name

It's not a given name, it's a rank of the Scottish gentry . A bit like Sir or Lady

Logan is very nice BTW .

Straight to Wolverine.

Kristina, I am Scottish. I know 'laird' is a title. Which makes it all the more obscene that I saw a curly headed child in the Ecosse section of the Sunday Times who was named Laird. Anyone who references titles of lazy spoiled rahs 'the gentry' in their child's name is a toolbag, IMO.

Donald Trump has a son called Baron and he's definitely a toolbag (Donald that is, not his unfortunately named child).

I am Scottish and did like it but it is the most popular boys name I know. If they are about 8 years old and male, you can bet they are called Logan or Lewis. Still a nice name though.

I concur, squoosh

Trump is a manky old toolbag that's been left in a damp garage for a decade, full of rusty screws and scrunched up Safeway bags!

I know a very nice Logan, mate of 10yo ds (Scottish dad, now living in Yorkshire).

It's like any sort of name; they go in waves, & I reckon Scottish names have probably peaked in popularity, so if it bothers you that he (& his nursery mates Hamish & Morag ) may be dated by their names, then avoid - otherwise go for it, it's a lovely strong name!

Can't think of an obvious or attractive diminutive though? Ds's friend answers to Loge, although they're increasingly using surnames for each other...

I love it. I lived in Logan Street before I came here and it was one of the happiest times of my life. If I had another son, I'd call him Logan.
