Tanner

[Pineapples]

I like Tanner for a boy, what do you think?

Odd.

It's a profession, not a name.

Erm..no sorry don't like it.

I like Bob better, or Florin

Not a good choice, imo

No

No. And i like unusual names.

No

No, it's ludicrous

unless you have 'chosen' his profession already and then you would need professional help

Isn't barbie's pooch called tanner? The one that poos?

Nope - name of a pub where I live.

Why?

No, images of heaps of animal skins and the smell of brine spring to mind.

It's an occupation, not very nice for a name at all.

Elsie.

It's a surname. I do not like surnames as first names.

Like Tyler - it's a surname or a name for a dog.

Elsie just springs to mind. Sorry.

ugly, chavvy

Curing animal skins with urine extracts? No. Read somewhere that tanners were rather shunned in the Middle Ages as they were always so whiffy - if you're going to go for an occupation surname, Mason or Carter probably has fewer unpleasant connotations.

I know a Tanner, but where I live surnames (and particularly occupation ones for some reasons) are very popular as first names. I think it is a little odd.
