It's a real shame that most people associate this name with the famous cat, since I happen to love the name Garfield. It's fun to say and pleasant to hear, and the nickname "Gar" sounds really cool, too.

Garfield is the strip's title character. He is a lazy, fat Orange Tabby. He also appears to be more anthropomorphic and/or humanoid-like as the series passes by and there are more strips being made. He is usually depicted eating or sleeping. His favorite food is lasagna. Hates Mondays, spiders and raisins. Loves bullying Odie and mailing Nermal to Abu Dhabi. Garfield also hates Nermal but sometimes love her. His girlfriend is Arlene, who does not appear at all in Garfield and Friends, but Garfield and Friends has some episodes and specials of female cats as his love interest from time to.

I don't know what to make of this name. I mean, Garfield was a president's surname, which is possibly good (I am not familiar with American presidents as I am Canadian and have little interest), but Davis' Garfield is a double edged sword.On the good side, he is witty while not being able to talk (through thought bubbles), and can easily put something over anyone he chooses, while on the other side he is very proud of being fat and lazy, which might be teasing material.All in all, a name that should be used with slight caution and care.

Who couldn't love the comic strips? I have always loved Garfield ever since I was little. I think it's interesting, though I couldn't see a modern-day boy with this name. More like a grandfather or a great-grandfather, but that's it.
This name sounds really pretentious as a first name, or would, if it didn't immediately bring the cartoon cat to mind. The poor guy would be teased mercilessly, especially if he was fat.
