Really?

A friend of mine was over last night catching up when she told me about a friend of hers who recently had a baby boy. He was named Reznor. As in Trent Reznor. Sometimes I like last names as first names (Marley, Smilth, Walker) but not so much in this case. Discuss.

I actually don't mind it.

Strangely, I don't mind it. I don't like it, and I wouldn't use it, but it's not bugging me for some reason.

I think this is part of a larger trend of naming kids with the last names of rock stars: Lennon, Hendrix, Jagger, and Cash for boys; Presley for girls. I once met a Jagger and Cash sibset and I did a double-take when the parents called out their names. I can't see Reznor catching on like those have, but it has a more pleasing sound than Jagger does.

whenever I see that name, my eyes see Razor. and I don't like it.

Yep, that was my thought, too.

I don't dislike it, but I'd be much more apt to use it for a pet than a child. I don't generally have a problem with using last names as first names, or the names of musicians. Lennon was on my list when I was pregnant.

I actually quite like it!

Love this! We are considering using it for a next son's middle name. My 1st son's middle name is Steele, as in Peter Steele.

I think of one of the bosses from Super Mario World on SNES

Well at least the kids isn't name Spears or Aguilera. They are worst musicians to be named after. But I don't know if I even like the sound of it. I think Trent would have been a better option in this case.
