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

I love it. Really! As a teen I knew a Fletcher. He wandered his dad's store while I worked there. He was too young to work but old enough to want to chat up the girls in the most endearing way. I haven't been back to this town in 25 years, but he is definitely one person I would want to see. I'll always associate the name with a sweet and earnest kid. I bet he turned into a magnate of some industry. I am going to go google him now!
OP, don't be afraid to name him according to your instincts. My kids have names meaningful to us but not oft used and now that they are in elementary school, we all really appreciate that they are not the 23d Olivia or Sophie or Matthew or Connor. |

| I think of Fletcher Reed from the soap opera Guiding Light. Back in the 80s. Always liked that character so I guess I like the name. |

| Better to use it as a middle name. Gives the kid more flexibility, ultimately. |

| Like it. |

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

Not that poster, but they are usually things like James, Thomas, Robert, William. Very old, and very common in every generation. |

Don't like it. For some reason, it makes me think of fart.

| Fletcher is a huge family name for us, so I love it. I would use it as a middle name, though (almost did). |

| I think it's a great name for a dog but not for a child. Honestly, it sounds like you're trying to hard to be original. |
