How do you feel about the boy's name Hunter?

you never know... my aunt considered it for my cousin, & i did for my son. & in our family we do have an over abundance of avid hunters. so, our kids *might* end up being hunters lol.

That's true. :P

But honestly, Hunter is one of the better medieval occupation names. At least it implies an important task or occupation. Something like Cooper, on the other hand, implies that he's going to be making barrels. Not to say that making barrels isn't important, but really.

Same here. Where I live (southeast Texas), there are a LOT of hunters. I don't really like the name, but people do still hunt!

yeah, my grandfather, his friends, my dad... they go all over. they just went to North Carolina, are going to Canada soon, Colorado, Wyoming. he basically travels all over the US doing it.

i kinda hope my son doesn't get that into it, because it's a really expensive hobby lol. if he does, he can get into when he's over 18 & out of the house, paying his own bills hahah.

Exactly! My dad has always hunted. It drives my mom crazy that he spends so much money on it. My SO is more into football than hunting...so hopefully my potential sons will be into football like he is and avoid the hunting thing. Haha.

yeah, my grandmom sometimes has a fit over what the trips cost... but he always comes back with enough meat to last like an entire winter. plus, it gives her time alone. they are both retired now, so they drive each other nuts haha.

Well, my dad is the only one in my immediate family who eats deer meat. Plus he never actually kills anything 'cuz he is on terrible leases. Not to mention the fact that my mom's birthday is right at the beginning of hunting season and this year my dad told her that if he would've realized that her birthday would conflict with his hunting he wouldn't have married her. Sooooo...as far as she's concerned, hunting is no longer an important hobby. Haha.

I know that people still hunt, but it's usually not their primary occupation, that was my point. :P And even hundreds of years ago, people were given the name Hunter as a surname if they hunted.

Yeah, I agree and understand. It was just interesting to take that sentence a bit out of context. Especially considering how closely involved I am with hunters. Every male in my family has hunted and I recently moved into a new house and it is literally about 3 minutes from a deer lease and whenever I go outside I can hear gunshots. Haha. Sorry for somewhat poking fun at your statement. I do understand where you're coming from, though! =)
