Anderson?

[flowerygirl]

My husband likes it for a boy. Opinions please!

Err, really only a surname because of the 'son' at the end of it.

(mind you there are Harrisons out there...)

Think it might be a wee bit confusing for the boy though, so no.

It's ok- there are plenty of harrisons, jacksons out there. I don't mind it but I'm not a massive fan of surname first names.

I like it, especially shortened to Anders

Awful.

It's clearly a last name. Terrible as a first name.

I like it. Like Anderson Cooper & he's very cool.

Would not be my choice.

I like Anders though.

I really like it and I like Anders.

My DS has a name that is usually a surname and I love it.

No. I don't like the Harrison/Jackson trend as it is, and I really don't like Anderson.

Just Anders is much better.

Makes me think of Anderson Shelter unfortunately!

No. What's wrong with Andrew?

Andrew is my husband's name! The surname factor doesn't bother me, I like that aspect of it. Does bother me that it's quite similar to Andrew though. Why are boy's names so much harder?!

could be a trend though not original obviously.

Andrew's son is called Anderson.

Still think you and he may get teased because of that.

Anders is much nicer

I think a man called Andrew having a son called Anderson seems a teensy bit vain.

Awful, sorry.

Ok hit me with your ideas PrivatePike. What's better than Anderson?

I prefer Anders or Andreas.

I like it.
