Ok before I say this name know that we do live in the South and its pretty normal around here. lol

My hubby loves the name Browning for a boy...I kinda like it but IDK what do yall think? Good and bad advice please...

Kmommy91 · February 2013

Gah! Sounds like you're cooking meat. What about Bronson?

doremi29 · February 2013

I think of Browning guns/rifles. I like a lot of southern names but I don't know if I could get on board with that one. MN, fine, but I can't see it for a first name.

aishaweatherford · February 2013

hahaha I know. I do like the name Branson. But im not so sure my husband does he loves Browning because its a hunting thing. Hes not exactly redneck but hes about as southern as they get. Like Im talking everyone in this town knows his family and him and now me and know them for being "The Weatherfords" IDK and all of there names are very southern. Trying to stick with the theme. Some names sound very strange with Weatherford because I feel like its so country for some reason. haha

This is exactly why he loves it.

I think it's clunky in the FN spot. Maybe as a middle?

TheLuckiestOne · February 2013

Outside of the South, it's going to get a major side-eye that could really represent a problem for your child.

Southerndancinmama · February 2013

I like it but I'm southern ;

Well, if you want to go the hunting/gun route, there are other's that I'd like over Browning. Also, keep in mind that while you guys may live in the south and your child will grow up there it doesn't mean he will always reside there.

nikintheheart · February 2013

I'm from the south as well, but I really can't see Browning as a name. Just not a fan, I guess.

aishaweatherford · February 2013

Thanks guys! Im glad now I have more reason to Veto it since hes vetoed all my names! haha I was on the edge with it but I think I would like it better as a MN

PinkLillyLover · February 2013

Not a fan and I usually love southern names. How about Bronson or Bowen?

+ASH+ · February 2013

I live in the south - never heard it used as a first name.

avonbride · February 2013

Browning Weatherford is certainly a mouthful...what would a NN be? Brown? Bro?

doremi29 · February 2013

Have you guys considered Colton Weatherford? I'm only mentioning it since Colt is another brand of gun. I'd suggest Remington but that's a mouthful of a name.

nikip6454 · February 2013

I am sorry I just can't jump on board with that one-I like the suggestions of Bronson or using it in the mn spot!

I'm not from the South but this was my first reaction too.. Browning rifles! Sort of like naming your kid Hunter because you like to hunt...

What about something like Bronson or even Brian?

This. lo may not live in the South forever. Plus, the whole name is really too much. I like PPs suggestion of Colton.

CeCe8579 · February 2013

No! I think meat, guns and symbols on every truck in my area! BTW, I live in the country, hunt, eat deer meat, ride four wheelers and have a Browning symbol on my truck!

June2007 · February 2013

It's a family last name to me. I don't prefer it,

pettycrocker · February 2013

Uh.. yea, sorry. Not good.

PunkyBooster · February 2013

It's a last name for me. I went to school with a girl who had that as a LN.

What about Brooks?

Baylor?

inthelost · February 2013

I live in the DEEP south and I've never heard it.

jburdet1 · February 2013

I live in the South and I don't like it or understand Browning as a name. It's a brand name. I shop at The Gap for jeans but I'm not going to name my DD that. Very silly to me.
I suggest Beau.

divinemsbee · February 2013

Another Southerner here who thinks it's a no. I have family that hunts, but I don't, so when I hear Browning as a name, I would think he was named after the poet Robert Browning.

queenbone · February 2013

I'm not a fan of random surnames for FNs.

ETA: Just read this is a gun name. Add me to the hell-to-the-no category. I hate violent baby names.

Mrs.G123 · February 2013

Yuck.

catahoulatte · February 2013

I keep hearing Brownie when I say it out loud. Then I want brownies.

I'll second the Beau suggestion. If you REALLY want to go with this theme, I'd honestly go with Colt, Heston, Remington, etc. WAY before Browning. Although for the record, I wouldn't use any of those anyway. Colt and Remington are actual names, though. Just NMS.
