| I like it. Kids are generally accepting of names. It's the judgmental adults you have to worry about, especially the ones who were freaked out by the Alien series. |

If you said it was a family name that died out, I would be all for it. I like the idea of using mom's maiden name or another last name from your family tree as a first name.
If it's not in your family tree as a last name, it does seem a little weird to choose a religious title as a first name. |

Agreed. What about choosing a religion - see the thread about the first name Christian that is running! Hi, my son's name is Hindu, how about yours? |

| I think it's kind of weird, but it's actually my maiden name. There's an X-Men character named Bishop, right? |

| It makes me think of the android (named Bishop) from the movie "Aliens.' |

| I think the name will sound like a Catholic school. Like Bishop Ireton, Bishop Foley, etc. (And I'm not Catholic!) |

| My cousin's son is named Bishop, and although I've gotten used to it, I can't say it's a name I like. It is not a family name, and does not have any significance to them. They just liked the way it sounds. My cousin and his wife had also thrown out the name possibility of Deacon. No, I am not kidding, and neither were they. I am genuinely hoping that if their next baby is a boy, they don't decide to name him that. |

Put it in the middle if he really insists. Put a nice classic name in front of it, and then he can choose. Or you can call him Bishop if you have to, but at least he has better options.
Tell DH that if you put Bishop in the middle, you get your choice of first classic names.

| That was Tupac's name in the movie Juice. It's also a town in California. |

LOL, I thought I was the only one who thought of 'Juice'. Also, I think of the robot from Aliens. I actually think it's an ok name. |

| I don't like it. FWIW, my DH has always dreamed of naming his first child after his favorite basketball player in middle school. I said no. |
