What do you think of Tasker?

[Buntyray]

Anyone know another Tasker.....?

Its the name of a hardware shop around these parts

Nah it just sounds like someone who does tasks

terrible, sorry. Can you think of anything else you like?

It sounds like the name of some dodgy character in a US soap such as Falcon Crest or Days or our Lives.

It is a stupid name. Call the baby Bernard or summat.

Um, honestly? Makes me think of "a-tisket a-tasket a green and yellow basket". And also that it will be pronounced differently in the north and south of England, which may or may not be an issue for you.

I think there is a reason that noone knows anyone called Tasker.

Don't do it

Taskers = furniture shop

sounds like a dog's name to me, although not really a name at all.

Dreadful. Not a name.

Names along the same vein but are slightly better are:

Hunter
Archer
Mason

It sounds like a '70's detective series for some reason.

as in multi-Tasker?

really?

I had an uncle Tasker I always thought it was a nickname rather than his real name when I was a child. I think it was a family surname used as a first name.

A surname as far as I'm concerned.

Why do you like it? Is it a name?

I immediately thought of Tarka the otter!!

Tasker is awful.

Depends where you live as well as to how people will say it.

Down south - TARSKER

North TASSKER

It is not a name at all imho and will be shortened to Tass or Tassy.

Makes me think of that penchant some Americans have for choosing random nouns and assigning them to their children as names.

See Sarah Palin for the definitive list of said nouns:

Track
Trig
Bristol
Willow
Piper

The last 2 not as bad, but the first three? Come on...

just remembered that one of the Hogs in Terry Pratchett's The Hogfather is called Tusker - a bit too close for comfort.

Yuk. Sounds like one of Sarah Palin's boys.

Oh god, Ziggurat just said it before me.

I know a girl called Talisker (after the distillery I guess)
LOL at multi tasker!!

I agree with Duchesse! got to be one of Sarah Palin's children!

Normally I don't like 'er' names (sur names) as first names. I could rearrange my face in to a bland 'oh that's nice' for some of them though. Spencer and Fraser are nice. Cooper ,Carter, Thatcher,Parker, Hunter, all dreadful.

A big rock off Wexford with a lighthouse on it.

Hang on, that's Tuskar.
