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.

No to both Aston and Austin from me, I'm afraid. I am too polite to tell you my first thoughts on hearing them but to hear that they were both inspired by X factor says quite enough imho. Sorry.

If you like Ash, why not go for Ashley, which isn't my favourite name in the world but is better than the other two.

Not keen on either, sorry..

How about Ashton, or Anton?

As a Brummie I think of lots of things when I hear that name. None of them are babies (well... ) Aston Villa (the actual Villa) is quite nice, but that's about it!

Nothing wrong with spelling Birmingham with a "u" BTW, although it's usually Brumagem which is Birmingham in the local language.

Villa, continuing a theme....

Rubbish name.

Aston is one of the most dangerous places in Birmingham.
