Thoughts on the name 'Drake'?

[HopeWish]

Basically as the title says.

DH really likes this name. I like it too, especially the nature connotation, but I know that it is more unusual.

I have never met a Drake, only know it from a TV show called 'Drake and Josh'.

What do you think of this name? Would you think it was a bit 'out there' if someone you knew named their child Drake?

Too close to Dracula (Drake would be irrelevant to a child born now and his music probably deemed old fashioned)

No.

Duck, suspect would get teased.

Huh, I think my brain is broken I thought of Sir Francis Drake before "duck"

I think of either the rapper or Joeys character on days of our lives from friends (dr Drake Ramoray)

Love it

I'd say no.

What about Blake instead?

never heard of the duck connection
The duck connection? It literally is a duck. 😄

First thought was Drake Circus the name of Plymouth Shopping Centre.

@paradisefalls oh dear.

Too close to Dracula

Yay for Count Duckula!

"His birth certificate says I definitely do."

Well congratulations, your son will be so grateful, I'm sure.

He’s 10 ffs. He could tell me now if he didn’t like it. He’s got more chance of hating his surname which his sister has asked to change ASAP. Is it really so hard to believe that someone might actually like their name being that?

Nope . I know one and he gets the piss taken big time poor sod .

@ikeakia Look I'm not going to get into a massive debate, if you like it you like it, but as you can see from this thread, most people think it's stupid.

A lot of people slagged off my son's name too but I like it so whatever.

Well as long as he doesn’t subscribe to the belief that just because ‘other people’ do it then it’s ok to be a sarcastic cunt online then he’ll probably be ok despite the the stupid name.

Also, male ducks are really not very nice

This. Drakes are right bastards.

Dr Drake Ramorez 😊

Duckling as a pet name is adorable though 😊

"Well as long as he doesn’t subscribe to the belief that just because ‘other people’ do it then it’s ok to be a sarcastic cunt online then he’ll probably be ok despite the the stupid name."

Chill out doll, it'll all be ok despite his stupid name.

It’s horrible.

Well if you compare it to Dracob it sounds ok, even if is the name of a famous rapper.

Dracob?

No, nobody real called their dc that did they???

Always makes me think of this young woman...

Quack quack. it's a male/young duck isn't it?
