It is totally Margaret. At all costs, avoid!

It reminds me of the character Corky Thatcher on the TV show Life Goes On.

I love it

Don't like it and not attached to Thatcher

Hi !!!

If people use Washington, Jefferson or Lincoln ... What's the problem of using Thatcher? She was a great woman.

It is, and it’s not a particularly nice name besides that.

It pretty much owes its familiarity to Margaret and nobody else.
I don't think Margaret Thatcher was a particularly admirable leader, though of course I'm not British and opinions will vary and she was certainly not the worst leader who ever led.

It also makes me think of thatching, like on a roof, or like pubic hair.

Yep, totally connected to Margaret Thatcher for me. Maybe not a problem for a kid born today, it fits in with other surnames as a first name trends, but maybe it is. I mean, Thatcher was Prime Minister before I was born. Maybe it's like Gandhi or Churchill that it is always going to overwhelmingly attached to a world leader.

I would like it if Margaret Thatcher didn't exist. It would be a lot like Fletcher (a surnamey job name that evokes an old-timey village where you lived in houses with thatched roofs and hunted with arrows). But as it is, it reminds me too much of Margaret Thatcher and if someone's name was Thatcher it would make me suspicious of his parents!

I like it well enough. Might be a bit awkward in the UK given Margaret Thatcher and thatched roofs.
