honest opinions, boy name.

don't like it, sorry.

At first, i thought, "hmmmmm."

But by the time I got through all the responses and re-read the name a number of times, I am really digging it!

But who cares what any of us think, OP! Do what you and your partner like!

So, what names do the "higher socioeconomic stratas" give, if not Connor/Logan/Mason? And why would using a family name scream middle class??

It's frequently not a family name. Perhaps for some, but how may of the dozens of Logans running around the playgrounds can possibly have mother's with that maiden name?

2nd poster who thinks Fletcher is an EXCELLEnt name for a dog.

Probably a sporting breed, like a hound or German short-hair pointer. Who lives on an acreage near a creek, and whose human dad drives a 1982 Jeep.

I'm really interested. What are classy people naming their kids these days?

They'd likely object to the word "classy", since that's rather tacky in an of itself...but classic names like Thomas, Christopher, Andrew, William, Alexander, etc. Take a look at the Royal houses of Europe--how many Logans, Masons, etc, do you see there? None. They all have classic names appropriate to their language/culture, and they are all first names. (Denmark: Frederik, Henrik, England: Charles, Andrew, Wiliam; Netherlans: Willem-Alexander).

Is your last name Christian too?

I rarely chime in when someone asks for opinions re names, but I must with this one: no, no, no, no, no. It just sounds awkward in almost every scenario I can think of. It's not cute-goofy like Oscar, or endearing like Flynn. It just sounds bad. I'm so sorry to be so critical!!

NO. It sounds terrible.

Ick.

I can see an Old English Sheepdog being named Fletcher. For some reason the first thing that comes to my mind is how it sounds like 'flesh'.
