Baby Names

Trafford - yay or nay?

Hello,     I am 38 weeks and 6 days with my first baby. I have been able to keep the sex a secret, but am still undecided on a boy name. There are a couple of contenders but I'm most curious to see what your thoughts are on the name Trafford? 

Re: Trafford - yay or nay?

  • I'm not a fan of the surname as first name trend in general.

  • No. If it has meaning to you, it would be a decent mn.  I don't like it at all for a fn.

  • I agree if it has meaning then it works a mn.

    beyond that I just think of Old Trafford (home of the Manchester United football team) but not sure if that's so well known in the US?

  • I am a BIG FAN of different names and I must say I do not like this one bit. It sounds made-up and on top of that just has a bad sound to it. Like Giraffe or something.
  • No.

  • Ehhh, if it's a family surname-name then I'm ok with it.  You can always come up w/ a nn.  I can't see calling a kid Trafford all day long.  But otherwise, I'd move on.

  • Are you from Manchester, England?  Like an above poster mentioned, it's the name of the soccer pitch where Man United plays (Old Trafford) and it's a massive shopping mall and tourist destination outside of Manchester's city center, called Trafford Centre.  Don't use it as a name.  Terrible.

    With this 100%. It sounds made up... even as a LN. Like others have said - use it as a MN if it has meaning or you really love it. Sorry, it's pretty bad.
