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.

A white trash name that nobody outside of the American South has. It's also associated with that jerk Nash Grier.
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.

No, no, no. This sounds ridiculous as a first name. I'm SO sick of this surnames trend.

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).

Rubbish. Sounds like a hillbilly name, and the sound isn't all that pleasant. I don't know why, but it sounds kind of. Itchy.
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?

I don't dislike, but it reminds me of Nashi pears too much.
