@Vroomfondleswaistcoat - "shut that door" was Larry Grayson, not Les Dawson.

I didn't say it was. But Daw will equal Door in many people's minds and 'shut that door' will be said enough for them to snigger. Nobody will remember 'shut that door' as a catchphrase.

My other DCs all have American style or really unusual names too so I guess it's maybe just something I didn't know I liked.. But now it's been pointed out 😂 I guess that's my style.

I'm not keen on "normal" or "common" names like David, John etc etc. Don't know why but they've just never been my vibe.

If I like Dawson what else would anyone suggest?

There’s a whole world of names between “David, John etc” and American-sounding surnames used for names (Dawson). The former really aren’t “common or normal”… In fact, I’ve not heard of a baby being called either David or John for for decades.

I'd be worried about Daw as a nickname.
In Ireland Daw is a derogatory term, ie a fool, eejit

I know a Dawson. He’s lovely 😀 It’s a good name - ignore the haters @OnNaturesCourse

Like other posters of a certain age…..Dawson’s Creek. It’s not my cup of tea but definitely not a horrible name.
