Fern. I love it, and I think someone named Fern would be awesome, but it doesn't pass the business card test for me.

Gus. I met a little boy named Gus a few weeks ago and he was the cutest thing ever. Also, kind of Meriwether. I don't really know why.

aw, i've always loved the name fern, but, like you, doesn't pass my "Dr.." test.

I don't know how I'd feel going to Dr. Fern Blahblahblah.

Why?
The only Fern I know is in her 50's and seems very professional. It sounds like a business-card-worthy name to me. Names along the lines of Kayleigh and Jalen don't pass my business card test.

I think it's too hippie-parents for me. Like Rain or Skye or Petunia. I kinda want Fern to be my massage therapist or 13 year old babysitter. I dunno, just doesn't sit well with me and I adore the name.
