Help[Opinions] Campbell
I looked up the popularity of Campbell and was surprised to see it is more popular for females than for male. I have long thought that Carter and Campbell would be a cute sibset, but had both of them in mind as male names. I have a weakness for surnames as first names. Also, Bell is a family name for me. What do you think of Campbell for a boy or girl?

Mmmm, mmmm good
Makes me think of Campbell's Soup. I don't mind it for a boy--I also think of Campbell Scott. :) But it's a little too surnamey as a fn for me, and I think it's awful on a girl.

I'm surprised to hear that it's so popular with the girls. It's all boy to me. I'm not a huge fan of it though.

Ugh. My mom wanted to name my sister this if she had been a boy, and I strongly dislike it on either gender. If Bell is a family name, use a Bell name, like Belle, Bluebell, or Amabel. Those are all nice, imo.

Campbell- boys name

I'm afraid that the combination of its similarity in sound to Camryn and the fame of the newscaster Campbell Brown means that Campbell will stay predominately female in the USA.

The name Campbell is not my style in general (partly due to the soup), but if I had to pick which gender I preferred it on I would say boy.

For me, Campbell is definatly for a boy. I have no idea why parents started using this names for girls. XD

Campbell is a type of soup. That's all I think of when I see hear or this name. Sorry.
Carter is alright. I know a boy named this he is very whiney kid. It doesn't bring a good image to mind.
