Fletcher

Too much of a surname.

The "doggiest" sounding name ever! Don't saddle a poor child with this ugly old thing!

I named my son Fletcher for a few reasons;
•His due date was February 14 (Valentines Day) it seemed fitting with the meaning arrow-maker (Cupid, arrows, etc)
•We owned a yacht and spent a lot of our time sailing around the tropical isles of the Whitsundays. The story of the mutiny of Fletcher Christian on the Bounty seemed a romantic notion of someone wanting to live the good life in the sun and not return to the grey days of England - an ideal to which I can relate
•My husband's best childhood friend's last name was Fletcher, but everyone called him Fletch
He was and still is an incredibly intelligent individual and no one could have asked for a more wonderful child. His name suits him perfectly and btw, he is an avid Harry Potter fan too.

I think this name is adorable, but the comments changed my view.

My son's full name is Fletcher Gordon Hughes and I love it, he is the most content baby I have come across and the cheekiest chap ever :)

Don't like it because it's too similar to fetch. It sounds like a dog's name. "Fletcher go fetch!"

This is my brother's name, which was a great way for my mom to pass on her maiden name. He often goes by Fletch, loved the Fletch movies, and was called Fletchie as a kid. I've never met another Fletcher, which is kind of cool. His middle name is more normal, so he could have gone by that if he didn't like Fletch.

This is a total surname. Fletcher as a first or middle just doesn't work. Also, weird to say but Fletcher kinda sounds like a disease to me. *Laughs*

I don't mind Fletcher as a last name, but as a first name? No, it doesn't work at all.

Better as a last name.

It's a very cool name, in theory. But I think it would be a little strange on a real person. Not too out there though, I think the right guy would be able to pull it off.

I first heard Fletcher as a surname, but I like how it sounds for a contemporary first name. It's refreshing when you're reading down a list of all the Johns, Davids, and Michaels, then BAM, Fletcher. The name sticks with you!

My current baby name choice for a boy. I like the name, I think it's a good name for a child or an adult.

I find it horrible for a first name.

Just horrible. Sounds like the name of an insufferable frat boy jerk. I loathe the nickname Fletch. This is an ugly surname, and an utterly atrocious first name that sounds immature and silly.

Personally, I love the name for some reason. It's odd but not in a bad way. But it's also kind of cute.
