Thoughts on Cameron for a boy? We are 100% sure on the girls name we have chosen and I thought I was committed to Cameron for a boy but I am not 100% on it like I am with our girl name. Maybe it’s last minute nerves? Baby due in 6 weeks.

Not keen tbh
Makes me think of David Cameron

My name is Cameron and I’m a 22 year old woman. I do see it is a girls name but that’s not really surprising. Honestly, if you’re not 100% sure, it’s not the right name. What’s the girl’s name? We can give you suggestions based off that.

No, just no.

Cameron is going to go down in history for all the wrong reasons.

MrsEricBana · 02/08/2019 17:14

I like it. The Camerons I know are all known as Cam so maybe less good if single syllable surname is all.

I'd just assume you were a massive fan of a
"wonderful ex PM".

Frazzled2207 · 02/08/2019 19:47

I really liked it as a name but decided against because
A. I wouldn't want anyone to think there was any chance of him having been named after a Tory pm
B. I believe it means "crooked nose".

missmouse101 · 02/08/2019 19:51

I actually like it! Also Arron, which is similar.

dementedma · 02/08/2019 19:51

Popular in Scotland. Personally dont like it but go for it if you do

TalentedMsRipley · 02/08/2019 20:03

I like it! Especially if you have Scottish roots?

theunrivalledjoysofparenting · 02/08/2019 20:04

Fab name! Nobody in Scotland would think of david cameron!

DramaAlpaca · 02/08/2019 20:06

I like it.

ZeroFuchsGiven · 02/08/2019 20:09

Well My Son is called Cameron and he is the most amazing person I know!

MrsDimmond · 02/08/2019 20:10

Great name!
I hate the former PM but it didn't cross my mind.

Kaykay06 · 02/08/2019 20:12

I have an almost 18 year old Cameron and it’s a lovely name and he’s a wonderful boy.

Doesn’t really remind me of someone’s second name?...

Thanks everyone. The David Cameron thing did cross my mind and it’s definitely not an association I would like to make (not a fan at all!) but the few people in RL I’ve mentioned the name to said they didn’t think of him.

Reading the replies I think I like it even more now. I’ve been practicing saying it around the house and it works. Plus there are literally no other boys names I like enough!

I like it. I know a cute 3 year old Cameron. He makes me like the name

imtheonlyupsieone · 02/08/2019 21:30

Cam is a cute nn

Tillygetsit · 02/08/2019 23:01

Reminds me of the pig botherer

fitzbilly · 02/08/2019 23:04

Can I ask how it's pronounced?

Is it Camrun or Cam-er-un?

Sophronia · 02/08/2019 23:09

Makes me think of David Cameron.

IsobelRae23 · 03/08/2019 03:10

I don’t like it. I know one who is 19, and is basically a little s**t. I don’t know any girls with the name.

Frith2013 · 03/08/2019 16:43

It’s ok. My cousin is Kamran.

namestar · 03/08/2019 17:05

I have a 12 yo Cameron, he is funny, smart and kind. I think the name Cameron suits a baby, small boy, adolescent and man.
We are Scottish though and it's a popular name.

billhubbard · 03/08/2019 17:16

If I had had a boy it would have been a Cameron .
Ferris Buellers day off !
