Baby boy name troyble

[slauren303]

Hi my husband and I are having trouble coming up with a boy name. We were wanting something somewhat unique and he likes strong names. We both like the name Hawke our last name is Moskow. But now I'm having doubts, because I'm worried about having to explain his name all the time. We also like Dylan. Thoughts??

Dylan is really popular.

What about Rudy?

or Geordie (normally nickname from George).
or Denny.

Hawk without the e is better. Eagle, Falcon or Peregrine are possible alternatives, or Heron perhaps.
Dylan isn't unique.

Hawke Moskow sounds like the lead from an 80's action film. I can't decide if that's a good or bad thing.

Dylan is lovely but seems very safe in comparison.

I read this as you were going to call your baby boy troyble
I was about to say i am not too keen but what about Troy instead . .

Me too. I am not keen on Hawke at all. I just can;'imagine and adult male being called that in the workplace.

I thought your chosen name was Troyble too!

Hawke Moskow is problematic as both names have strong meanings of something else iyswim.
Dylan is lovely but not at all unusual, DS has two friends called it.

Dylan, go with Dylan.

Dylan is fine, Hawke not great, IMO. But definitely not Troyble!

Jago

Hawke moskow sounds like a helicopter.
Dylan is a great name.

Dylan is much better with your surname.

Chester
Rex
Otto

Hawke Moskow is too much imo, sorry.

Rudy as suggested by pp is good - Rudy Moskow has a great ring to it.

Or Alexander nn Xander?

Another relieved for the kid you're not calling him Troyble!
Hawk doesn't need an E. That takes yoonique to more yeeuuuneikh levels!
I agree with PP that Hawk Moskow would be a cool 80s action movie hero. People would probably snigger at such a fancy actiony name if he was bag packing at Tesco or telesales marketing, or any desk job really. He'd have to be a police detective or something at least.

Troyble is the sort of name a teacher sees on a class list and immediately thinks...

Here comes...

Dylan is a great name !

I'm sorry but Hawke is a terrible name! Please don't call your child this!

I know a Griffin

Another one here who thought Troyble was a name suggestion. I absolutely love the name Hawke, and it sounds great with your surname.

Griffin is great

Dylan does go perfectly with your surname. Asher is nice and would also fit, as would Edward. I do like Hawke (are you fans of The Path?) but not sure it's a bit much with the surname. However, we don't get called by our full names all that often do we?

I do all the time at work when I am in meetings and either need to introduce myself or be introduced. I just can't see introducing yourself as Hawke (even minus the surname) in a workplace as being anything but uncomfortable for an adult.
