What do you think of these surnames-turned-first names?

Coleman or Booker, and why? Also, have any combos?

Coleman James

Coleman Reese

Coleman Pierce

Booker Jameson (Jameson is GP)

Booker Nathaniel

Booker Mason

Loving names one letter at a time.

I say Coleman because Booker just sounds weird.

I like Coleman. It's a brand of camping gear around here, so it has a nice outdoorsy feel for me. It feels rugged and woodsy. Cole is a nice nickname.

Coleman James - James in the middle is always boring to me
Coleman Reese sounds nice. I like Coleman Rhys better. Along the same lines, Coleman Reid?
Coleman Pierce is nice. The Cs pulls the names together visually, even though they have very different sounds and feels. I like it.

How about these?
Coleman Bram
Coleman Tate
Coleman Zane
Coleman Giles

I don't like Booker. It sounds silly, it looks silly, and it's just plain silly. :)

Thanks for your comments! I like Rhys for Reese as well.

Zane is one of my favorites, though you might have known that, and I think Tate is just the cutest. Thanks for the suggestions!

I also like Giles, probably because of the butler on ABC's summer show--Whodunnit.

I can't say I actually like it, but Coleman gets my vote.
It's a little-known fact that in the US it is illegal for anybody to have the first name Booker unless the middle initial is T.

It's a good thing I like Booker Timothy then, LOL. :) Thanks for your reply!

I don't like surnames as first names, so I don't actually like either of them.

Coleman makes me think of mustard, so I suppose I'd choose Booker (but I dislike Booker... a lot!)

Booker Nathaniel is the best combo. Jameson and Mason are ALSO surnames, and two surnames in one combo is just too much.

Nothing's wrong with either of them, but I definitely like Booker more. It reminds me of Booker T. Washington, and he was a really inspirational man. Some combos:

I agree! I read response after response thinking I would much rather have my child's name associated with Booker T Washintonthan with camping gear... Not that Coleman is bad at all- Booker is just better IMHO.

Booker Raymond and Booker Timothy are my favorite combos for your list (actually had the second as my own combo). Thanks for the comments. :)
