For a boy. I really like it but wanted other people’s thoughts.

It’s a thumbs up from me!

Sorry for some reason it reminds me of sour milk Confused
And to me it's not a nice sound but then we probably have different taste.

bigmap · 13/08/2019 19:53

It looks nice written down but I don't think it sounds nice

ZaZathecat · 13/08/2019 19:58

Sawyer in Lost was gorgeous, so it is a name that makes me smile!

NearLifeExperience · 13/08/2019 20:00

I think that’s why I like it, too, Zaza Grin

DramaAlpaca · 13/08/2019 20:02

Yes, I like it too. Lost has a lot to answer for Wink

Love it but I know DH would never let me use it!

ZaZathecat · 13/08/2019 20:06

Sigh

Sawyer?

Ohhh not a bad name association then Wink
@bobstersmum
I did mention it to my (twin) brother and his response was “only if his middle name is tits”
ffs, we are 27 now, nice to see he’s as mature as ever!

How are you pronouncing it? Surely it's like "soya" rather than "saw-yer"? Either way, I'm not keen - people might think he is actually called Soya if they hear it being said without seeing it in writing.

missmouse101 · 13/08/2019 20:37

Soya? Not great.

Abouttime1978 · 13/08/2019 20:53

My little girl is called Sawyer, so clearly I'm biased.

If you like it, go for it.

joystir59 · 13/08/2019 20:55

Awful. 'Saw yer!

Dreadful name.

hardyloveit · 13/08/2019 21:24

MrsBertBibby · 13/08/2019 21:26

Hideous.

It’s like lawyer with an s so I guess it’s like Soya Blush
I still do really like it though

SteeperThanHell · 13/08/2019 21:46

I really don’t like it

Whoops75 · 13/08/2019 21:50

I like it

NobleRot · 13/08/2019 21:53

I don’t like those US/activity craft names like Sawyer, Carter, Hunter, Tanner, Cooper. They make me think of Bible-quoting survivalists in lumberjack shirts.

KTara · 13/08/2019 21:59

I don’t like it, sorry
