New BA
A friend has just welcomed a baby boy - Oakley Peter. WDYT? I know that she was previously considering naming him Tennessee Peter and I can't figure out which I prefer!

Oakley is numbingly trendy and I've only seen in on girls the past few years. Tennessee is not that much better, but definitely better between the two.

I don't like it. Peter seems so old-fashioned, and it's also a slang word for penis. Oakley reminds me of the sunglasses brand.

I much prefer Oakley Peter over Tennessee Peter (which sounds to me like, well, a euphemism for a type of male organ that one most commonly finds in Tennessee). Can't say I love it, but I really like Peter Oakley a lot.

I kind of like Tennessee Peter, but I feel like it's a guilty pleasure... I think Oakley is a more sensible choice even though I don't really like it myself

I think it's awful & it looks the wrong way round to me, like Smith John or Jones Henry. But it's still better than Tennessee. What on earth would you call him for short? Tennis?

I don't care for it. I like Oak on its own, though.

Oakley isn't my style although I do like it heaps better than Tennessee. I have to admit, there's almost something about the name that I find attractive. I can understand the appeal.

Tennessee Peter sounds like some old hobo riding the rails.
Oakley just sounds like a big, friendly and clumsy dog.

I prefer Oakley to Tennessee, but I don't do so with enthusiasm.
