[Opinions] Re: Campbell/Macaulay or ?
in reply to a message by TARA
Since Campbell breaks down to Camp + bell, it comes across as wordy as well as surnamey even if ringing a bell to alert campers has nothing to do with the etymology. Campbell has less teasing potential than a surname like Cockburn, but Campy might not be great to hear a lot especially if the kid doesn't want to be shoehorned. A boy with the name Campbell would probably go by Cam to his friends. Do you like Cam?
Campbell does stick out as very different from your other two children's names but so does Macaulay.
