I really like the name Thatcher. I think that it would age well.

Thatcher is- hmm. . . As another post said, it reminds me of Margaret Thatcher. I think it ages a little too well. To me it sounds like a feeble elderly man, unfortunately. Sorry, I don't like

erm...
I'm not even English and the first thing to pop into my head was "Margaret Thatcher"... as well as A Knight's Tale (wasn't he a Thatcher or something? Or maybe I'm remembering thatch roofs.... I'm a little confused lol).
I think Thatcher could be used as fn as a lot of kids don't know what "thatch" or a "thatcher" or "to thatch" means until they're a bit older... I think adults might be more confused though. I think if Parker can be used, though, why not Thatcher? It's nmsaa but... I have a thing for Bowen so I can't really say anything :-) lol

Thatcherism
Margaret Thatcher is all I can think of, which is *not* a good thing in my eyes. (She was self-serving and attempted to destory the welfare state that had been built up for decades, in order to save richer Britons money. She also introduced a flat-tax, meaning millionaires paid the same as those on minimum wage. Ugh. Sorry, rant over!) She is often referred to simply as "Thatcher" in Britain so it's a complete no-go here.
I do love Thackery, for what it's worth :-)

Hmm...
I think dragon hatcher, a la Jeremy Thatcher. Or perhaps a prime minister.
I don't think this one has the wings to take off, sorry.

Love it!
I cant picture a sandy haired boy who would be very fun but down to earth. Its one of my favorites. I love names like Archer, Thatcher, Ranger (only for charachters) etc..

Margaret.
Margaret Thatcher.
The association with 80s politics is even stronger with this name than with Reagan.
All I think of is Maggie- not a great association. And perhaps quaint roofing types, and those who make and maintain them.
Fletcher and Archer have fewer connotations that way, if you like the sound and the style.

I have a sophomoric, dirty mind, I'm afraid. I hear Thatch, think "snatch," and it all goes to Hell in a handbasket. :/ Sorry!
The similar Fletcher doesn't have that problem, so I like it a bit better.
I think Thatcher would age well; I just would have a hard time taking his name seriously.

Fletcher always reminds me of...
the less than desireable slang insult 'felcher,' which is a disturbing reference. :-/

Believe me...
what I know about it is vague. But I at least recognize it as being something a kid's name ought not be close to. :-)

It's a sexual practice that's achieved a lot of, ah, notoriety. I won't go into detail, but sufficed to say it'd be a damning reference for a kid in high school.

I normally have a very dirty mind, but I have to admit I didn't think of that. LOL.
...and it all goes to Hell in a handbasket
This cracked me up because I say this quite a bit, and many people find it to be so "old-fashioned". Glad to see a "youngin'" using it, lol. My best friend said it wrong once as '...we're all going to hell in a handbag' so now we often say that, and crack ourselves up. :b (Maybe I need to get out more. LOL.)
