He was only 37.

Colton is worse. Colt is a bit backwoods sounding but also cute for a baby. I’d tuck it into the middle name rather than primary to give the kid a chance v

Are you in the DMV?

I feel Colt is the type of name that makes a statement. You’re signaling that you’re culturally rural, pro gun, NASCAR type of family. Nothing wrong with that, but think about if that fits with your intent.

It's cute but I would think a boy named Colt cute but a man, less so. It's literally the name of a young boy horse.

Colton is more flexible.

Colt Conner sounds like a Southern Senator. Elect Colt Conner for Texas Governor!

Not that your last name is Conner, it's the first hard C name that came to mind.


Yeah, I think it sounds good with C last names. Colt Calloway. Colt Cohen. Colt Collins. Colt Crawford. Sounds like an athlete.

Not as good though if the last name has only one syllable: Colt Clark. Colt Cox. Colt Cook. A little too staccato.

Colt McCoy, former Redskins QB. But he as the last name "McCoy" to go with it.

Don't name your kid "Colt" if you have a vanilla last name like Smith or Jones.

+1 I would be embarrassed to have that name as an adult, especially introducing myself professionally.
