Austin

DH's suggestion. After some views? Thanks x

Powers comes to mind!

Yes! Family friend's son is called Austin, love it.

I like it. I didn't even think of Austin Powers until PP mentioned it.

I quite like this name, always think it sounds quite American to me a bit like Harvey.
Go for it unless your surname is Martin

I really like it. Not too popular but easy to pronounce and spell.

I know a couple of 80-something Irish men called Austin. So to me it's a grandad name but not one of the twee ones. I like it.

In my mind I’d always silently follow it up with Powers and have an internal giggle. Not proud of it but it’s the honest truth.

Clouded by the fact that the only one I know is a right twat

It just makes me think of a guy washing his car in the 50s.. must be the car
Or Austin powers obvs

I don't really like it, but it's not terrible.

Alllegro one of the worst cars ever made particularly the one that was turd brown

Like it

Harvey is an old name in England from the Norman French Herve.

Love it.

I believe it's related to Augustine. Could be wrong.

Austin is a truly lovely city with a great music scene.

Powers - yeah, baby!

I really like it. It’s a really happy, jaunty sounding name, I think, but with a serious undertone, so would work well in all walks of life. I don’t think the Powers association is a bad one - Austin Powers was gorgeous, wasn’t he?!

Love it! I had it on the list for our DS but DH wasnt a fan!

I just think of Austin Powers.

Check how it goes with the surname.
Austin Healey got away with it but he was a top cricketer. Austin Morris might not get away with it, and might get nn like All-aggro

Beautiful name, I absolutely love it. I had a great great uncle named Austin. He was lovely.

Texas

I don't mind it as a name but I know one who is a bit dizzy and affectionately nicknamed "Lost in"

Texas for me too. I'm not keen. I did know one once though and he was a bit of alright...

...Healey. slightly squashed looking, very opinionated former rugby player.

Austin Healey was a rugby player, not a cricketer.....

I don't like it as I just think cars - probably relate to growing up where everyone worked "at the Austin".

Sorry, yes rugby player, won Srickly. Very tired today
