Hunter?

[GiveMeVegemite]

My husband has suggested the name Hunter for DS3. I think it goes well with our surname, but not 100% sure that I like it.

I have named our other boys so it is his turn and so far he likes Bruno and Hunter.

Any thoughts?

Bruno is a million times better IMO

X-post with Tiggery - totally agree, I'm not a massive fan of Bruno either but I much prefer it to Hunter!

I can imagine hunter working as a name in Australia. It has a very Ramsay Street/Summer Bay vibe.

I have friends whose surname is Hunter. The DH wanted to leave DS's name just as Hunter and not bother with another name

oldandcrabby I'm sure they don't do wellies in Oz. I'm a kiwi and we call them gum boots

There are no hunter wellies as far as I know.

Oh my word MrsLeighHalfpenny what an idiot!

I love the name Hunter its one of my ds's middle name. Think its a real strong name. I don't like Bruno at all.

Not keen but it's our surname!

I am not MrsLeighHalfpenny's friend though, honest.

DH has English parents but migrated to NZ as a child. He's saddled with a name girl's name in NZ. It's a very popular boy's name here in the UK in the 70s.

Is the name Ashley? My NDNs moved to the US with their 4yo DS called Ashley. When they visited again their DS was 10 and he was known as Logan. He had been teased for having a girls' name.

I love Hunter btw.

The gladiator is who I thought of too fighterpilotsthumbs haha

I think it you would need to be a certain 'type' to pull it off IMO.

What if you called your DS Hunter and he grew up a seven stone, anti-hunt protester?
That would be ironic!

I hate it... Silly American name imho.

Also, sorry but the only Bruno I've met was a dog. What are your other boys called?

Yep, they are gum boots here too. I haven't seen Hunter wellies in Oz so far!

Imagining my unborn baby as a 7 stone PETA type activist is quite unnerving, but thanks for the visual MrsLeigh

My other sons are called Ellis and Jasper....

Any other suggestions that you think could go well with the other names if not Bruno and Hunter??

I don't think hunter goes with jasper. Bruno goes better

I like hunter. Names that I think are similar are Carter, cooper, Jackson?

But when I seen Ellis and jasper I immediately thought Noah.

Like I said I really like the name Hunter and it was on our shortlist. I also liked the name Jensen which may go nicely with your other children's names.
Don't listen to us though, for one you're in Aus so people are more open there and 2. He's your baby, call him whatever you damn well please!

pixie thanks!! And I will. Hunter it is!!!!
