WDYT of Porter?
I saw it in a baby name book last name, and I think I'm really liking it.
For a boy, just to clarify.

I usually really dislike the job names. But, mostly on principle. I often cave when presented with them individually.

Porter is nice enough. As long as you avoid angsting about the meaning.

i really don't like it.
the first thing that comes to mind is that it rhymes with "porker" and that the name on an overweight child could cause some horrendous teasing.

I think of Desperate Housewives. I don't actually dislike the name, but I wouldn't use it. It sounds really trendy, though I don't know if it actually is.

To me, it's a last name; I don't really like it as a first.

I love it. The woman that babysat my daughter when she was a baby had a son named Porter and he was just adorable. So it makes me think of him. :)

I'm not too keen on the job names, like Cooper.
