Hunter Elizabeth

[MeAndLee]

What do you think of the combination Hunter Elizabeth for a girl?

Hunter's awful

Hunter? Really???

Think Hunter is very masculine sounding but do quite like the idea of a classic name being paired with something more modern, and I do like surname type names, but dont know if I'm brave enough to go with it myself. If you like this style of name, how about Harper, Parker, same idea but not quite as masculine??

Hunter - as is wellies and someone who kills and hunts? And the rhymes that will go along with it are too awful to think about, and it's a man's name or surname

No no no no no - get a grip of yourself, woman.

as in

I like Hunter Elizabeth as I think it is a pretty combination, it is pretty and glamorous but not too much so. I am not form the US but I know it is a fairly common girl's name there.

Do you really want your daughter going through her school career with nicknames like cunt and munter? Because she will.

its silly

its a frikkin disease

just call her Thrush and have done

I think you'd have to think of the combinations that children will turn Hunter into - it's not a great list IMO!! I think Hunter for a boy is rather cruel - all I can think of is a thick male Gladiator - for a girl it's beyond cruel, certainly in the UK. Perhaps in the US it would be better?

Elizabeth is a gorgeous name though.

Sorry I don't like it. Using a word describing a job as a first name is really bad unless your child is already a film star at birth. If she becomes one later she can choose her own stage name when it happens.

Thinkiing along similar lines, Tyler, Sailor, TescoSecretShopper etc etc

all bad
get that? BAD

Do people really call their daughters Harlow?

I was born there. It's hardly glamorous now is it?

It's like that '1940s film star yourself' game isn't it. Take your grandmother's first name and the town where you were born.

I got Jean Harlow. Neat huh.

Even here in the US I don't know any girl Hunters, sorry. A few boys but I must say I'm not awfully fond of it. I sort of get where you're coming from; when I was young I liked River Elizbeth for a girl (Rivers are beautiful etc., and when I was growing up in the middle of a forest my dad always told me that, if I were ever to get lost, to find a River and follow my way out...I quite liked it but ended up married to a man with a "noun" last name so would never do.)

Anyway, it's YOUR dd and if you truly love the name, go for it. I personally would, as many other posters have suggested, go for Elisabeth Hunter.

Hunter a boy's name makes my eyebrows wiggle. Hunter as a girl's name - yikes, yikes, yikes.
But you must KNOW this is likely to be the reaction and you must have reasons for liking it. So ignore us and bring her up to have a TON of self-esteem.

I think one of reasons I don't like it is that I don't have warm and fluffy feelings about killing animals especially killing them for fun.

To buck the trend a bit here...I like it!

Hundreds of Elizabeths around, very few Hunters I would guess.

I think that's a positive - great to not to always be one of many and have to use your last name or initial to tell you apart from your classmates...she might not realise this at first of course!( speaking from experience...)
