I like one syllable names for boys. I think they sound strong and have less of a tendency to get used as a girl’s name. We named our son this name when we were living in the Midwest and there were no other children we knew with this name. We moved to the coastal southeast, and there are several boys with the name.

Personally I like this on dogs. Just think about the way this name ages on a human: Infant, 6, 12, 16, 21, 40, 60, 80.
Nash instantly makes me think of the gnashing of teeth. There are a lot of bible verses about it. I'm not even religious and I immediately think, "The wicked plots against the righteous and gnashes at him with his teeth," which is from Psalm 37.

Nash, the hyperactive alien shark in the video game Crash Nitro Kart.
I think Nash sounds unpleasant and ridiculous. It sounds like a dogs name. Plus, it makes me think of that sexist, homophobic, racist brat Nash Grier. ಠ_ಠ.

Nash Grier is an American teenager best known for his Vine videos.
My son is Nash. I LOVE this name (obviously). I named him for John Forbes Nash (of "A Beautiful Mind" fame), mostly because I am a math nut, and I believe the man was a total genius. I also happen to love Crosby, Stills, and Nash, so I am a fan of the musical connection as well. Everyone we meet seems to love it. It is easy to say and spell. It has that familiarity without being so, so common (Jacob, John, Matt, etc). The only two downsides we have found so far are the Nash Potatoes comment (his 5 yo cousin came up with it first), and his name and initials are (phonetically) both synonyms for chewing: Nash and NAW (surprisingly, he was more than a year old when this occurred to me, funny moment).

I don't know if this counts but there's Graham Nash of Crosby, Stills, and Nash.
Nash Latkje is quite possibly the greatest character in the Genso Suikoden video game series. And there's 108 characters for five games, so he's the greatest character out of . . . 540 characters? The games are loosely based on the Chinese novel "The Water Margin".
In the video game known as 'Lunar: the Silver Story' there was a character named Nash. He was pretty cool. Noble and gentle. From what I remember I think he had a thing for another character named Mia. Anyway I think of that video game when I hear the name Nash.
Good name for a dog! I just think of Gnasher the dog out of Dennis the Menace cartoons. Why would you call your child after an action you do with your teeth?
