Garrett

tash_rn

This is the only boy name my husband and I can agree on at this point.  It would be Garrett Dutch (Dutch is after my grandpa, so no mean comments, my grandpa rocked!)  I don't want something super popular but not totally off the wall either.  I think this fits this category but please let me know if I'm wrong.  Is Garrett getting popular?

It's my son's name so I might be a little biased but I think it's a great name.  I don't think it's too popular either, most people comment on how unique it is.

I really like it, and there is something quite cool about "Garrett Dutch."

Awesome!  Does it get misspelled often?  Do people try to call him Gary?  I think we're definitely thinking that might be the name but I want to cover all my bases and make sure I'm not over looking something about the name I'll wish I had noticed in later years. ;-)

I like it.  I don't think it's overly popular, I don't think it's obscure- it's just a nice solid name.  I like the double r, double t spelling.  My aunt spelled my cousin's name that way and doesn't have a lot of spelling issues.  A friend spelled her son's name Garret and complains that it's always spelled wrong.

to Garrett Dutch.

Nobody has ever called my cousin Garrett "Gary".  Just Gare-bear.

I have a cousin Garrett and have always thought it was a really cool name.  He has never gotten called Gary (although his dad is Gary).  His nn was mostly G-Man, which again is super cool if you ask me.  

I like Dutch too.  It's very unique and makes the name sound solidly masculine.

My uncle's name is Garrett and he's the coolest uncle ever! Love it.

I do not think it is popular but I really give it a thumbs down.

Our Neighbour is named Garrett, I like it a lot and he is the first one I've met, it is a normal good unique name.

I don't care for the name Garrett simply because it makes me think of "A room on the top floor of a house, typically under a pitched roof; an attic."  Naming a child Attic just isn't appealing.

I really like it, but I will say that I'm from Chicago, so it makes me think of popcorn.

I love it!

I like this a lot - its "cool".  Usually when people try to name their kids something "cool" it comes off as superficial and like they tried too hard.  This is just cool without trying.  Love it.

I like it (and since my father's name is Gary I thought I might use it in the future to honor him)... HOWEVER, both dh and I have red hair and he brought up the unfortunate nickname "Garrett Top" 

I can't get it out of my head now!

OMG are we related, my cousin is Garrett and his dad is Gary LOL. I love the name and my cousin has never been called Gary.

My Favorite cousin is Garrett. I call him "G" when we're hanging out but around family it's always Garrett.

LOL!  I'm sorry about the NN possiblities for you!  But it is kinda funny!

I love Garrett!!! Great choice!

CourtneyRDH

No, it's underused and I would use it if my DH liked it! I love it!

I love it and if this baby is a boy it's the name we will use.  FIL is Gary so it will be to honor him (without having to name my son Gary
