Baby Names

Love the name Tucker- is it a bad idea?!

So I'm really stuck on the name Tucker for this DS.  My DS#1 is Tanner.  I just keep thinking about all the not so nice words that kids will come up with to rhyme with Tucker.  In my heart I don't think I could put him through all the possible name calling, but there's just something about the name I really like.  I'm having a hard time finding a replacement!  Honest opinions...is the name Tucker a bad idea?!  Other top names on the list are Carter, Hunter, and Nolan...uncommon but don't rhyme with bad words!

  • F*cker.

    Plus Tucker and Tanner as a sibset Ick!

    I like all of your other options 100% better!

  • I LOVE Nolan.  Thats what we will use if we ever have a boy.  Even though there is an obvious choice for name calling with Tucker, kids will come up with something for any name.

  • I generally don't mind Tucker much...I've known 2 around my age, and 2 that are under 5. No one gets called f*cker. That said though, I think Tucker is way too matchy with Tanner...pretty blech. I think you need to avoid another name ending in -er. With that, I love Nolan. Great name :)
  • Have neighbors named Tucker and Tanner...they're demon children. But I do love the name Tucker. Your other options are awesome though

  • My best friend's dog is named Tucker.  These are the things we call him:  Tuck Face, Mother Tucker, Tuck Head, etc. 

    He's an adorable dog, but it's just too easy to think F*cker when you hear Tucker. 

    I say spare your son, people suck.

  • The fact that it rhymes with f*cker as well as part of the urbandictionary.com definition is enough for me to say no way to using Tucker.  I love Carter though.

  • I've been so concerned about the rhyming that would come with Tucker I never really gave it much thought to how it went along with DS#1's name!  I just wanted something a little more uncommon.  Thanks for the opinions!  This helps me accept the fact that I need to find another name :)

  • I went to elementary school with identical twins named Tucker and Tayler. Not really a fan of their matchy names but I will say, Tucker really wasn't made fun of much. The bad word it rhymes with is well, more taboo than say "poopy head" so most kids wouldn't dare say it. And he really seemed to do okay with the name.

  • I like Tucker and I don't mind it with Tanner. Matchy sibsets don't bother me though. I wouldn't worry about what kids might rhyme Tucker with. We're considering Lucus or Luke if we have another boy even though they rhyme with mucous and puke, respectively. ;)

    OMG... dying of laughter! 

    Who in the world would come up with that?! 

  • I grew up with a Tucker and when we all realized that nickname, we thougt it was funny for about a week, and then we moved on..

     I'd go for it.

  • I grew up with a Tucker and I never heard him called anything but Tucker.  But I'm not a fan of matchy sibling names, so I'd say go for something else. I love your other names, especially Carter.

  • There was a Tucker on the old show Are You Afraid of the Dark?- but I think the teasing could be a big issue. 

    But really, I do NOT care for Tanner and Tucker together at all- and I usually like rhyming/alliteration/matchy names. 

    To me, Tucker is just a 'guilty pleasure' name- not one to actually use. Might be a good pet name... 

  • I knew a Tucker growing up, and YES EVERYONE called him Tucker the F*cker.

    Besides, Tanner and Tucker do not sound good together.

    I LOVE Nolan.
