Thoughts on the baby name Knowledge with a surname like Smith

[Sweethearttttttt]

Me and my partner really like the name "Knowledge" for a boy. I'm curious to see what other people think of this name choice.

Knowledge Jamie Smith (our last name is very similar to Smith)

Jamie is the middle name because his father's name is James.

I think it holds a warm and curious energy. What do you guys think?

Don't be daft

I think using abstract nouns like this for names is ridiculous. What will you do if he turns out to be stupid?

Why do you hate your child

This has to be a wind up…. Knowledge is something most people have not a name… please don’t do this to your kid.. use Jamie Knowledge Smith instead and give your kid a fighting chance of not having to explain he has loopy parents

😂😂😂

I think you should change your name to knowledge since you love it so much and call your child Jamie.

Ever heard of Encyclopedia Brown?

I think this would work in some cultures but if you don’t have a connection to those cultures then it wouldn’t. Try looking at the Greeks for inspiration. Homer, Augustus, names like that?

🤣

Could you use a name that means knowledge? Sophian?

Uhmmmm, no. What's the nickname going to be "ledgie"? Maybe Noah which would be a better choice of name.

Hehe!!!

Ghastly, just ghastly. Please be a lot kinder to your little one.

Awful name - hope this is a joke.

Brilliant idea. If you want your kid to be teased mercilessly, that is. (Especially if they were, well, not terribly academic.)
Other names that people would ridicule less, for you to consider: Herod, Adolf, Peregrine, Aloysius, Lucifer. All improvements on Knowledge.
Hope that helps.

What about Citizen?

That goes well with Smith.

What if he’s a bit dim?

Foxy 😂

I agree with this. I think it’s fairly narrow minded to ridicule a name like Knowledge out of hand because it’s not used in your culture, but that said I’d be very surprised at a white British boy called Knowledge.

That would be too cruel.

Are you hoping he'll become a taxi driver? 😂

Nickname ledgie would soon turn to nickname wedgie I fear.

No! Just no! Do not do this to your child.

Sounds like he will be the modern day Capability Brown.., though he was christened Lancelot Brown and earned his nick name for his garden design.
Your son would be better to earn such a title too. What if he were terrible at retaining knowledge? He would be a laughing stock.
The middle name Jamie sounds childish to me.

Other suggestions:
Ernest James Smith
Hugh Jameson Smith
Peter James Smith
Kenneth James
Kenrick James
Kingsley James
Lancelot James
Noel James

A name that means knowledge as opposed to just using the word would be a far far better choice.

It also doesn’t work with your last name. It reminds me of Fishsmith or Blacksmith
