How has no one mentioned Colt Brennan, the NFL player? That is my association. Also he died this year May 2021 from a drug issue.

Colt? Like a horse or a gun? Not my favorite.

Really, any Midwest/southern sports and leisure activity - nascar, rodeo, fishing competitions, hunting’, etc.

Name is fine. The only east coast Colts in know are Coltons (3), one has the nn Colt.

Agreed, I like Colton as a formal/classic fallback but DH does not

90 Day fiance, yeah not a good name. Let the teasing begin...

Coltie, Cult: no thanks

I immediately think of that fat dude from the "90-day fiancee" show, the one his Brazilian wife called Colt-ee. Colt-ee.
Ugh.

Strong nascar vibe if that matters.

I don't think you will be receiving mispronunciations. It's a pretty common name in the mid-west.

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.

Blech.

Colton and call him Colt for short?

This is accurate.

Our boy is arriving in a couple months. DH likes Colt, I'm concerned it would be hard to pronounce with our last name (also starts with hard 'C'). Also will he be mistaken for Cole his whole life?
