In my head

I have a name that has been circling around in my head lately and it is Travis. What are your thoughts when hearing it? Do you like it?

It reminds me of Travis Tritt. I've never really liked it.

I like it. It's masculine and familiar but not overused.

i never liked travis. then i went to college and one of my dearest friends was named travis and changed my picture of the name. it still isnt a name id use anymore, but it doesnt have negative trashy connotations for me anymore either. :)

It's kind of a lite beer, mullet, sweaty wife-beater, truck rally name for me.

Oddly enough, my top choice for a boy name sounds very similar too it, but has entirely different connotations for me -- Tavish.

I picture a self-proclaimed Mormon redneck bullrider from Texas.

It reminds me of some dirty kid. Not really from experience, its just the image the name conjures up in my head.

travis barker is the first thing that pops into my head, then randy travis, then some guy with no shirt and his buttcrack showing.

i like it. solid.

i think in a few years it will sound fresh again. i like its sound, but i place it in the context of justin/dustin/jason/derek, etc., and i think it needs a few years to age.

I used to never like it, but recently I have fell in LOVE with it. I LOVE the name Travis.

I second this. :)

well, the only Travis I've ever known was a horse, so I don't really think of it as a people name.

I like it. It's not too over used and it sounds very boyish.

and it's definitely better than the common male T names (Tyler, Taylor) that have been used a lot on girls. I don't think you'd have that problem with Travis :)
