Beckett

[omgzits--tam.livejournal.com]

What's your take on Beckett? Too surname-y?
I've been reading this play with my friend, and the playwright's last name is Beckett, and I figured that was pretty nice.

What do you think?

Definitely a surname.

That's so weird that you just posted this! My little brother's name is Beckett. I love it. Everyone else learns to love it quickly after being like "Brecken? Brecker? Breckett?" It's very fitting for his fiery little self, and I like to call him Beck. Or Wreck-It Beckett, because he is a very destructive 15 month old.

He's lucky!
It's one of my favourite names. A little boy called Beckett, that's adorable.

No room for a first name?

[omgzits--tam.livejournal.com]

to be a first name*

I love it, its actually on my list of favorite names.

[alluminor.livejournal.com]

Great first name, in my opinion.

[omgzits--tam.livejournal.com]

Yeah, mine too. :)
I think it's great for any age.

[omgzits--tam.livejournal.com]

Personally, I think it's way better first than last.

I love that name. :) I don't think it's to surname-ish at all. :)

I love it

In fact, its one of my top girl names.

[sonneta.livejournal.com]

I like it.

[omgzits--tam.livejournal.com]

Yay!

Re: I love it

[omgzits--tam.livejournal.com]

Hahaha, I'd only consider it for a boy.

[omgzits--tam.livejournal.com]

Great!
It's a very nice name.

[ex-ollivande895.livejournal.com]

Good boy's name.

[makeitstopjamie.livejournal.com]

But I think that Becki would be a good nickname for a girl. Althrough my sister being a Rebecca hates it.

I think it's a fine first name, though I prefer it as Becket, after Thomas Becket.

Reminds me of the soccer dude David Beckham

bucket.

Pirates of the Caribbean

I actually quite like it!

It makes me think of bucket, but I like it alot. Its just if I met someone named beckett I would probably think of bucket everytime I saw them in order to remember their name, which I don't think is bad, but some people might not be too flattered. I like it alot though. Its surnamey but would work great as a first name.

I love it. If I were braver and could see myself "naming outside the box," I'd name my son that.

Why not Godot, to extend your homage?

I'm not a fan of either, to be totally honest. Perhaps it's because the name ONLY brings to my mind Samuel Beckett who has inspired you, and he's freakishly pessimistic. For a baby? Y'know?

[omgzits--tam.livejournal.com]

Godot would be okay, actually, I kind of like that.
Nice suggestion. ;)

He may be pessimistic but I like the idea of absurdist plays; I'm tired of the comedic ones and the romantic ones and it just gets so blase over time.

Beckett is a family name, so a few of my male relatives have it as a first name.
