Travis Perkins springs to mind straight away, then Dave Lee Travis. If neither of those are on your radar I like it.

I thought of DLT - ugh!- but youngsters won't,

EmpressAdultHumanFemale · 31/12/2018 10:36

My first thought was Travis Alabanza. That's a very negative association but hopefully not on most people's radar.

GraceMarks · 31/12/2018 14:51

Travis Bickle, I'm afraid!

E20mom · 31/12/2018 14:56

I think it's chavy.

I know a Travis. He's one of the loveliest kids I've ever had the pleasure of knowing.

Shadow1234 · 31/12/2018 15:31

I like it.

DramaAlpaca · 31/12/2018 15:33

It's not my style.

It does work well with the sibling names though.

Magpiefeather · 31/12/2018 15:34

I know a Travis, he is lovely

Mid 90s Scottish band fronted by Fran Healey for me. Wouldn't work North of the Border for that reason, I don't think.

RavenWings · 31/12/2018 18:15

Love it.

MarmiteTermite · 31/12/2018 18:17

Travis Perkins here too I’m afraid!

I’m Scottish and I know a little Scottish Travis.

It’s a perfectly decent name but makes me think of an American teenager in a comedy from the 90s.

^I agree

American 90s name to me.

IdaBWells · 01/01/2019 00:56

No.

MarchInHappiness · 01/01/2019 00:59

Rebecca and Travis off Home and Away for me.

I actually do not mind it though!t

Astronica · 01/01/2019 04:26

No, very 1970s for me - out and not ready to come back.

Cookit · 01/01/2019 08:03

I associate it with Kevin, Keith and names like that. So, no...

WatchingTheWheels85 · 01/01/2019 08:07

Really popular where I live.

PinkFluffyFairy · 01/01/2019 11:29

Love it!

Jimdandy · 01/01/2019 11:34

Reminds me of Overboard (see my usernameGrin) and Home and Away but it’s fine

TatianaLarina · 01/01/2019 16:22

I know an American called Travis who’s very intelligent and cultured and quite good humoured about the white trash associations. I don’t know what his parents were thinking.

seeingdots · 01/01/2019 22:54

I know a little Travis and he's a lovely boy so my associations with the name are positive. We're in Scotland but I've never really thought about his name in connection to the band.
