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?

Colston Smith who plays Craig in Corrie

I meant Colson

It's not awful, though not to my taste. As you can see from this thread you'd spend a lot of time correcting pronunciation though!

It’s along the same lines at Jackson, Samson, Harrison, Mason.

Perfectly usable.

Fine as a middle name. A bit bland as a first name and I agree that people would say 'coll-son'.

It’s sounds very.. American

I think it will forever get pronounced Coll-son.

I dunno, I think he's going to get called colon through high school. The kids might be cruel too.

Whether a name is nice or not is subjective. It's not a name I would choose but it seems nice enough to me. Certainly not one where I'd think "why on earth would they call their child that?!"

Makes me think of colston the slave trader...

Yeah, I also thought will be shortened to Colon.
Inviting the 'You're full of shit, Colon' taunts perhaps?
Hopefully not.

Don't like it.

I might like "Cole" though. Short, only one way to pronounce it, and there's a family=tree link . Unusual, but plain and dignified.

Have it as a middle name. It's very American and that's rarely a good thing in my opinion.

I was thinking of Colman's mustard.

I agree with emptyplinth it would be fine as a middle name.

Colson as in “His first name is Agent”?

(We may have watched an awful lot of Marvel films recently)

I'd pronounce it Collson and it immediately sounds like a tacky american name to me - like Colton or something.

Nope

It's fine.

I am not keen on it as a first name - maybe a middle name?

I'd pronounce it Coll-son.

Yikes! People's opinions on a name... 'not your name, not your problem'

I don't like it at all, sorry.

I initially read it as colon! I haven’t heard the name before and would have prounounced it Coll-son. It isn’t my taste but I don’t dislike it either.

No reminds me of a Colon or coleslaw sorry

Not a fan, sorry

It's awful
It's one of those surname names

It sounds naff American. There’s better out there :)
