Aston - unusual or just plain weird?

[babymt]

Whats everyones thought on the boys name Aston? Whats the first thought that comes in to your head when you hear/read it?

I really love it and it seems like it just has to be my boys name...thats if it is even a boy!

Dh not keen but doesn't hate it though so thats always a good start

Also quite like Austin.

Martin.

I think it's weird. Not horrid but weird.I wouldn't use it.

A friend of a friend has just called her ds Aston. I like it

One of JLS on X Factor is called it too.

Aston Martin, nice car.

like calling a girl Porsche or mercedes really

Austin is probably a better way to go imo. but your baby your choice if you like it then use it.

My first love (aged about 10 yrs old ) was called Aston.

It's a bit 'surname as first name' in my opinion, though.

"One of JLS on X Factor is called it too." Is that a good recommendation though??

Austin Maestro nooo

rather Aston Martin

naff

Sounds like a bit of a non-name to me, more like a sound or a word for a thing (possibly a car-like thing!).

Having said that it is not an unpleasant sound but doesn't conjure a picture of a boy called Aston.

I think of it as an American name.

Oh, and I like Austin, but I always think of Austin Powers when I hear the name. Do I make you you horny baby?

Aston.....what as in "Aston Villa"?!?!?!?!?

LOL I thought everyone was gonna say car but didn't wanna put ideas in your heads by mentioning it first. Oddly Austin makes me think of cars too rather than Austin Powers.

Surely its not really as bad as using Porsche or Mercedes is it?!?!!?

Noooooooooooo to Aston Villa!!!! Although Astons meaning is east town.

Oh and I did get both from X Factor

don't like either - both a naff and common.

suburb of burmingham...you drive through it dont you on the A38

or of course, for people that can read roadsigns etc properly - bIrmingham!

I dont like Austin at all, prefer Aston think its a nice name.
Reminds me of Aston Merrygold from JLS Xfactor (and fun song factory)

it's quite nice but i imagine would be shortened to 'ass'

haha 'ass' thats not good but quite funny!!
Id think it would prob be shortened to Ash tho which isnt bad as many people named this

Um, Aston is a not particularly salubrious area of Bham. we wouldn't use it.

Yes have you ever been to Aston?

a girl at dds school is Astyn which is nice.

Aston University in Birmingham.
Aston Martin.

Honest answer - Birmingham
