What do you think of the name London for a boy?

Question

His middle name will be William after my husband father. What do you think? Is it too weird?

OOPS!! Meant to put husband's father. :)

Answer 1

I really like it actually. Go for it. I even think that could be a girl's name too. But either way I think it's nice. I'm all for the unique names. As someone else suggested William London sounds nice too if you're too worried about what anyone will say. But I decided I'm going to name my son Braedon Cael and I've all kinds of smart remarks. Unique is good. I don't want my child to have the same name as every other kid on the block. And people are saying you can't pronounce Braedon, I can't see more than one to pronounce it but whatever. And I've considered changing the spelling to Braydon so that people won't get confused but then I wonder should I change it just for those people who can't read. My sister's name is Raquel and people still call her Rachel. I can't believe it. It's a nice name goodluck.

I don't understand why people think that a child would get made fun up for London, what is to make fun of for that. People can say maybe that it's weird but I can't think of anything funny to say about that name. People said the same thing about Braedon. If someone is going to make fun of someone else they are going to do it regardless of the kids name. Should we encourage bullies by bending to their will? I have never known anyone who's life was ruined because their name was a little different. Every now and then someone may say it's interesting or weird but what is there to make fun of. If a kid is a bully they are gonna find something to make fun of even if it's not the name. As long as it's not some rediculous name like Cheese or something then who cares what people think.

Answer 2

London to me is a girls name because I know two names London. What about Landon? That's more of a boys name I think. I know you said William is a family name, but it is so over done. But if it is a family name and you like it for a middle name sure! I just wouldn't have that be the first name.

Answer 3

I love a unique name and I think London is great:) When it comes down to it, names don't mean a whole lot, so if it's important to you, name the child what you will. Then again, i can say from experience that it is very fun to go through life having a middle name that people will never guess. To this day, no one has ever guessed mine...and isn't it about the little things in life?;P

Answer 4

I really think that London would be a cute name and especially using William after ur husband father... I think ur husband is very excited since ur naming ur sons middle name as his fathers... "Good Luck"

Answer 5

I like the name London for a boy... as for the middle name, it doesn't move me. But that's not a bad name to go with the first!

Answer 6

I agree with the first two. William London sounds great.

Answer 7

Flip it. William London

Answer 8

Now, William London is nice, but I don't know about London as a first name. I guess it sort of has a nice ring to it.

Answer 9

Absolutely ridiculous. Do you actually want him to be picked on at school ? So many people saddle their kids with "unique" or "different" names without thinking through what their child will go through as a result. I'm not saying that only the very conventional, conservative names should always be used, but surely there is a happy medium ? The child has to live with it, so think of that first before you consider anything else.

Answer 10

A little too weird for me. I think London as a middle name would give him the option to use it or not.
