[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you liked the sound of Trent, how about Grant?[/quote]

Grant is on our (very) short list!

Donovan is out because I'm convinced he will be called Don
Griffin seems trendy
Nathaniel was nixed because it seems to have a heavy biblical/Jewish connotation (nothing against Judaism but we are not Jewish) [/quote]

If you’re against “trendy”, most surnames are bad ideas.[/quote]

Not sure what trendy means to OP but why would specific surnames be a bad idea if they've been relatively popular since the 1800s as first names? [/quote]

IMO, there’re 2 categories.

Steady: Oliver, Lucas, Martin, James, Thomas

Trendy(not necessarily the specific names, but the type): Grayson, Grant, Graham, Elliott, Hunter [/quote]

Interesting. I consider a name like Lucas to be very trendy- not popular until the 1980s and way more popular today than ever before. Grant on the other hand has has steady popularity since the 1800s. I guess people might group it in with other trendy surnames.[/quote]

It’s partially subjective, I agree. When I think “Lucas”, my first thought is “first name”(it’s many countries’ version of Luke); when I think “Grant”, my first thought is “last name.”

I see Lucas as being trendy the way Oliver is; and Grant as being part of a trendy category.[/quote]
