What is your opinion of the name Wyatt?

It's my 3 year old brothers name.

He's cute. So is the name.

I like it enough that I'd consider using it if my significant other loved it, but not enough to use it on my own.

I like it. It's not really my style but I really do like it, which kind of surprises me.

I like it quite a bit.

I like it a ton.

How do you pronounce it?

[identity profile] arbus.livejournal.com 2008-03-24 02:47 am (UTC)(link)
why-it

I do like it, but I don't love it.

i am on the fence about it, and cant figure out how i feel about it.

on one hand, it sounds like an incredibly hick sounding name to me. on the other hand, i kind of like it. i cant decide.

Same here.

i'm not a fan. why it? i don't really cringe at other people using it though...

i love the name ophelia, and likewise, i've never thought "oh, feel ya?" :)

I love it

i dislike it a lot. it sounds redneck to me, and i'm not even sure why. i don't know anyone named wyatt, but when i hear the name i automatically see the stereotypical shirtless loon in overalls with straw hanging from his mouth.

I have really conflicting images, because while I automatically think of exactly that redneck description, I also think of a cool laid back New England guy in one of my classes. I dunno I'd never use it for a human, I guess. Sounds like a good dog name though.

no offense, but i don't consider wyatt or jethro to be in good taste.

[identity profile] dustkitty.livejournal.com 2008-03-24 05:09 am (UTC)(link)
I like it.

I wouldn't use it, because I occasionally babysat a little hellion named Wyatt, but I otherwise like it a lot. But then, I enjoy the stories about Wyatt Earp and Doc Holliday and all, which is apparently a bigger influence to me than one bratty child who has probably grown up since then.

I didn't use to like it, but my friend has a son named Wyatt who I am absolutely in love with and the name suits him very well, so I like it now :)

[identity profile] 0o-faerie.livejournal.com 2008-03-24 07:42 am (UTC)(link)
I know it's crazy, but it always reminds me of light bulbs. Watt. See? Yeah, it doesn't make much sense.

[identity profile] scouty.livejournal.com 2008-03-24 09:44 am (UTC)(link)
I really really like it :)

[identity profile] rubytitania.livejournal.com 2008-03-24 02:10 pm (UTC)(link)
It makes me think of Charmed (there was a baby named Wyatt in that show I think). Apart from that it sounds a bit redneck.

I loooove it! Wyatt is one of my favorite boys names.

[identity profile] mountain-nest.livejournal.com 2008-03-24 06:49 pm (UTC)(link)
just makes me think of a bratty little kid kicking me in the shins with cowboy boots. Wyatt Earp was the only cool Wyatt, but even so, i call him "Quiet Burp." haha

It's very "My parents own a farm/horse/f-250."

Though I have a relative named Wyatt and he's from Boston. It really weirds me out to hear a Wyatt speak with that accent.
