What do you think of this name honestly?

[greystars5]

Colson. Pronounce Cole-son.

It's a family name and at the top of our list currently. Do you think it's too out there?

I think it will forever get pronounced Coll-son.
I’m not a fan of it.

I don't like it at all personally, but it does fit in with the current trend for surnames as first names so I wouldn't see it as 'out there' at all.

It’s fine, especially as it’s a family name.

(I’d pronounce it ‘Cole-son’)

I thought it would be pronounced the way you say.

I think it's OK. I'm not keen on names ending with son. Just feels a bit egotistical in the same way as naming a child the same as its Dad.

I can't say I like it - sorry. I don't think anything is really wrong with it as such but it's quite American sounding?

It sounds like coleslaw, sorry!

Are you american? I dislike it. Sounds like a medicine.

I like it. You will have to deal with Avengers associations, but it’s a positive character so that isn’t really a problem.

Coll-son is how I would have pronounced it and Coleson isn't your family name so you would not really want to use that.

I'd not use it.

Its an OK name, I would think you were either American or perhaps slightly lower middle class if you used it, but it wouldn't bother me that much. I put it in the same bracket as Mason, Jaxon, Brent and Lennon.

Near me there is a Colson Skip hire place.

Well, the first thing that crossed my mind was that school in Bristol that was named after a slave trader. I was trying to remember what it was called, and wondered if you were considering giving your child the same name . I've remembered now: it was Colston's school, so bit different to yours, but similar enough that some people might confuse them.

@theconstantinoplegardener That was my first thought too.

Colson Baker (AKA Machine Gun Kelly) has this name so I'm potentially predicting a boom of a similar vein when Gen Zs as a generation start having children.

I think it's quite cute!

I like it

Sounds very american to me.

Sounds like a Surname. It,s a no from me.

It will be pronounced Col-son and your ds would be forever correcting people. It’s very American - using a surname as a forename. Maybe use as a middle name or just use Cole?

Agree it's very " surname ' as a first name. Very American. I wouldn't

It's awful (you did ask!) and I'd also pronounce it Coll-son not Coleson.

Sounds too much like Colston as in Edward Colston the slave trader.

Don't like it. Sorry.

No strong feelings either way.

I'd pronounce it cole-son

Not a nice name.

Coleslaw.

Whats the difference between the "Coll-son" and "Cole-son" pronunciations? They are the same to me
