At the grocery store the other day, I saw a mother yelling at her son, Sarge. Being interested in names, I asked if that was a nickname. She replied yes, his given name is Sergeant. I've never heard that before. Have any of you? Do you like it?

eh... I don't really like it but it's not the worst name ever. I've met a Souljah (Soldier) and that was miserable. This is OK at least.

I love it, actually...

I know a dog named Sergeant. =x I don't think it makes a good given name.

No, I haven't! That's just off the walls. I mean, I like a few 'odd' names, but Sergeant?! No way!

No and no.

I've known people with that as their last name.

I think it's really tacky sounding to name your son a military rank.

Nope. Sounds like a dog name.

Maria Shriver's father was Sargent Shriver. Apparently he was also known as Sarge. Spelled Sargent, it's more of a surname-as-first-name than a word-name-as-first-name. I prefer the look of Sargent to Sergeant, at least as a first name. Sergeant and Colonel just have such weird, non-intuitive spellings.
Oh, and I think Sargent nn Sarge is totally adorable. Guilty pleasure all the way, but oh...I'm glad you brought it up.
