What do you ladies think about the name Ross?
Now, I ask this because I grew up in the era of Friends....I'm 31, and could probably recite every single Friends episode. I still watch reruns every day on TV. But honestly, looking through baby books, my hubs and I both really like this name....and did NOT think of Friends immediately when we put it on our list.
Also, remember that our children will most likely not have much association with this TV show, as it's already been off the air for 8 years. I think I'm more worried about ADULTS giving us a hard time about choosing the name Ross. LOL. What do you all think? Thanks so much!

Haha, lol...that's funny. More of a sound than a name. I do really like it though, maybe you don't care for it because it's your brothers name? Haha....no I'm sure that's not the reason. I not everyone will love the name we choose....but that's okay. I appreciate everyone's thoughts! And I'm glad I have a 'love' so far too!

As you can see from my badge, this will be my son's middle name. I like it... but having it as a mn was a concession to Monsieur, who wanted the first name to be Ross (not for the Friends character, but for his favorite uncle). So I like it; personally, I don't like it enough to give it as a first name, but I think it's nice.
As for Ross as a Friends reference: I wouldn't worry about it. Phoebe is gaining popularity and that's a bit more distinct that Ross. All the other "Friends" names are pretty common. Plus, as you said, the show's been off the air for 8 years now. I wouldn't worry about it.

I like it. I know 2 people named Ross.
If you're concerned about the Friends reference, there's also Russell with nn Russ (also Ross's look alike on the show, haha).

Cute! Thanks! I loooked it up and was surprised how unpopular the name is....because I agree, it's really normal....the uniqueness is an added bonus!

Honestly, I did think of the show Friends, but that isn't a bad thing!
