Help[Opinions] Re: US Presidential surnames as first names (long post)
in reply to a message by AwkwardElephant
I like Jackson & Arthur.
Others from this list that I feel absolutely work, even if I may not like them myself:
Jefferson (Can always go by "Jeff" anyway)
Madison
Monroe
Grant
Wilson
Harrison
Tyler
Taylor
Pierce
Kennedy (Prefer for a boy)
Carter
Raegan (Also for a boy.)
I personally think it's fine naming a child after
political/historical figures. I mean it's not something that I would do, but as long as it isn't an overwhelmingly bad or controversial association. *Cough cough* Trump for example. Also depends on the name itself. Trump wouldn't work anyway. Neither would Biden. Perhaps it was 'Kiden' or Briden/Bryden or something. The popularity of Raegan, Nixon, and also Kennedy surprises me as well in regards to their negative associations. But then again...names like Reagan and Kennedy have been often used so much, that they almost seem to separate from the presidential association. Like with 'Kennedy' being a common surname anyway, and not just connected to one particular person or family.
