What is your opinion of the boys name: Heath?

[CathyWuthering]

Just looking for thoughts really.

We like strong, slightly uncommon boys names but nothing too crazy/out there. Just wondered how it would be perceived on a LO.

Any similar names, or middle name suggestions appreciated!

We named our 2 year old son Heath. The name gets a really positive response from people. Parents took a while to warm to it but love it now.

Oh I love it. My boy name choice was Heath up until very late on but we changed our mind at the end and I still regret it.

It makes me picture a surfer dude. Which isn’t necessarily a bad thing!

Yeah, me too. I feel like it might be quite a lot of name to live up to if he turns out to be, well, ordinary?

very American said a la Lady Bracknell, so I'm hearing. Really, the prejudices you come across here. In any event, the only one I've heard of was Australian. And like others, I like it.

Sounds like Keith. Want some cake Heath?

Not keen. More of a surname to me. And yes, it rhymes with Keith.

Great name. Wholesome and strong. Sounds like nature and wilderness.
