Mason

Yeh or no?

Well you obviously like it so yeh. However it just conjures up a naughty child with parents who let him do what he want. That’s one persons perception though.

It's a no from me

Was there a book or something with a Mason who was a bully? Because it screams class bully to me for some reason.

Sorry OP!

No

I don’t mind the sounds of it, and for me it doesn’t conjure the same image as PPs

The only things it makes me think of are the Kardashians (one has a son called Mason) and the Freemasons - neither of which would be positive associations for me

No it's in the Tyler and Jayden file!

I prefer Jason

Not keen

If you do call him Mason, be prepared for everyone thinking he’s Nathan. We have a few Masons at school but apparently the name sounds like Nathan.

No.

It will be the Gary of its time.

Fletcher is an ‘occupation’ name (like Mason) that I think sounds much cooler.

I have a soft spot for Cooper too but suspect it might be a dogs' name at this point.

I think it's had its day and is overused

Seconded 🙋‍♀️

It makes me think of Mason in Wizards of Waverly Place (played by Gregg Sulkin) I hated him.
Although, apart from that, I think it's rather nice.

Nice surname. Does it shorten to May or Mase? It's better than Grayson.
Seems to tie in with the May, Mae, Mabel, Maeve trend.

Not keen sorry

No.

😂 there's a mason in my dd class and he's everything you've just said.

No. I don't like any surnames as first names.

It was bugging me who the famous Mason I didn’t like was - DH reminded me it’s the controversial footballer

Really downmarket around me I'm afraid. The classic 'naughty boy's name.

Absolutely not.

Masons and Conors are the cheeky tykes of this world 😊

My FIL is Mason, and it has been passed down to my DH and DS as a middle name. In their family it is the anglicised version of the Russian name Masonovich, my FIL's DF who moved to the UK shortly before WW2. He shortened his given name to Mason and took his wife's surname in an effort to integrate in the UK. I also disagree with the negative connotations mentioned up thread as I work in a school and have only encountered lovely Masons

No…
