Cameron? (for a boy)

[badg3r]

On my third iteration of potentials now for dc2, will find out the sex when they arrive. I am NOT GOOD at settling on names!
What do you think of Cameron? Is it becoming super common? What nicknames would they get apart from Cam/Cammy?

Makes me think of David Cameron, unfortunately.

Yes, why not. Cameron (Cam).
Cammy sounds feminine.

I know a couple of Cameron's, but don't think it's a massively common name. I like it. Think they would get Cam, Cammy sounds a bit girly and like Tammy.

I love it.

I think the obvious nickname would be Cam.

Could be Ron i suppose?

I know a Cameron and liked it until David Cameron came along

I'm not mad on it, but it's perfectly nice.

I think it's quite a nice name. But I imagine people will think you're a Tory.

I have one. Not sure how common it is now, mine is in his 20s. No one has ever mentioned the Tories or David Cameron. It's a lovely name, IMHO.

I'd not even thought of the David Cameron association... May is out for a girl then too

My little brother (aged 15) is a Cameron. He doesn't get it shortened. It's quite a common name in Scotland for his age group - think it was most popular name in 2001, or something.

I like it. The only Cameron I knows gets Cam occasionally which is nice.

In Scotland it is a very very common name. I know 5 Camerons.

Lovely :) Makes me think of my great-granduncle Carmine. Smart, generous, brave and also very cunning man.

It's a rather fabulous name!

I do really like it and we had it on our list (it would have honoured a family member) until David Cameron came on the scene and it really spoilt it for us.

If you don't mind that association then use it.

Love it!! I have a Cameron too so I'm biased lol

Yes it is the Scottish connection that I like, we are unfortunately unlikely to live there though so common in Scotland not a problem. I think there were two in my school year (a while ago now!) so I guess it has become more popular since I left.

Cameron / Cam is lovely. (usable again thanks to Theresa)

It makes me think of Dave too.
But I do like the name!

I think of David Cameron too (which puts me off). But as the years go by this won't occur to people as much.

Really like it. David Cameron doesn't spring to mind.
