What do you think?

Lately I've been liking the name Leland.  So what do you think about Thatcher Leland as a combo?

If your going for original... you got it! I think it goes ok together, it just depends on the last name. :o)

I really really like it as a combo and with the names separately.

But it does sound like 2 last names, which can be weird. Thatcher Leland Johnson, for example. That's a lot of last names in a row. Thatcher Leland Thomas is weird because Thomas is so often a first name.

Leland Thatcher sounds a bit better to me.

I think Leland Thatcher sounds better too.

Me too, the flow is better this way, as well as the fact that Leland sounds a billion times nicer than Thatcher

I hate the sound of Thatcher. and Leland does sound like a last name.

Sorry, but when I hear Thatcher I can't get past Margret Thatcher.
It's such an unfortunate association IMO, and I have a feeling other people in the UK feel the same way.
Just forbid the kid from traveling here and it could be ok :).

I like Leland though, I also think it flows better with Leland first.

I agree.
