I think it’s okay. Where I come from, it’s usually used as a last name. Whenever I hear this, the first person that comes to mind is Gordie Lachance from Stand By Me.

Surnamey, very dated and vaguely comical, probably because I've never met one and the main thing that comes to mind when I hear it is a silly novelty song from the 70s with the chorus 'Gordon is a moron'. Oh and the circle dance sometimes done at weddings - the Gay Gordons - and Flash Gordon.

Hi queenv !!!

My only links with Gordon are G. Ramsay and the Spanish word 'gordo' (fat). Ramsay is not a problem but the adjective actually is.

One of the very few lnfns that can comfortably be either.

I like it for its Scottish vibe; I know a James Gordon Ln who is of Scottish descent, and I like that. I knew a less than pleasant Gordon once, which didn't help, and a friend has a cousin Gordon who is known in the family as Gordy. This is enough to put any thinking person off the name for life! But if a Gordon can avoid Gordy, then it's fine.

I had a great-uncle Gordon. When I was a kid, before I ever met him, I heard his name and thought of warts...maybe because it sounds like gourd? It also sounds like gore / gored, which I find off-putting.

Now I hear it and mainly think of my great-uncle. He was over 6 and a half feet tall and thought everything was a joke. My only other association with it is Buffy the Vampire Slayer's stuffed pig that she called Mr. Gordo.

I have a hard time taking it seriously.

I think it's okay. Not really my type but I don't have it.
