Thoughts on name Colt?

There are some famous Colts. Colt Ford is a famous musician who fuses the country and rap genres.

Just reminds me of Colt McCoy, the quarterback. But Colt is not is given name, its is nickname. You could give your son a different name and jsut call him Colt.

But that's actually his nickname. His parents named him Daniel. Colt is fine as a nickname.

There’s both a Colt and a Colton in my kids grade!

I met a kid in a rural farming area named Rope. Colt isn’t as bad as that, but it’s in the same gene pool.

I think its a little rednecky or one of those names that some moms think sound sophisticated or cool-like Jax or Brayden.

Colton is worse than Colt. Neither are good.

I know a family with boys Boden, Landen, Colton and Jackson. Not enough eye rolls in the world.

This is one of those names which is ok... but it has strong associations (to me, a deep south white boy whose family attends church on Sunday and then follows that up with a tailgate party to watch the big game). I think that the person is a Republican. I also think of the gun.

That being said, I think it is a "normal" name unlike some of the more 2012 names out there, like Jax or Jaxyn.

I mean, she asked…

I think the associations (minus the judgment) are pretty accurate. The question is whether the parents are OK or even enthusiastic about those associations.

One of my kids has a name that a least one friend deemed "Southern nerd." I could see how she got there, but I am OK with any Southern nerd vibes the name gives off.

Porn isn't as lucrative a career as it used to be, so you might reconsider.

Sounds either redneck or pretentious prep school kid to me. I don't mind Cole though. What about Collin?

I don't like names that keep an individual a child. A colt is a juvenile horse. Your son is going to be 50 one day.
