I had a thread about this when PG with DS as DH was desperate to name him Hunter, general consensus was don't do it.

I really like the name but I wouldn't and didn't use it in England as hunting has such a poor reputation, I also think it would be pretty difficult name to live with if you were a skinny spotty geeky 13yo.

If I was back in NZ, Canada or anywhere else with a similar attitude to hunting I would use it no problems.

Hmm no. Makes me think of the gladiators tv programme. Wasn't hunter the one that dated ulrika johnsson?

I like it, but as someone else said it needs the right surname, and perhaps even the right family iykwim?

Writer Hunter Davies - married to novelist Margaret Forster. It always struck me as an unusual name, but manly.
