What do you think of Wade?

irishgirlmd · January 2009

It's a family name. ?I'm undecided.

EmmaRain · January 2009

I've known a few Wades. I've always liked the name. It is distinguished and masculine, similar to Will in my book. Yes

smismar · January 2009

I'm kinda "meh" on it. I picture a guy in his 50's wearing wire-rim glasses and a cardigan smoking a pipe. I don't know why that image popped into my head. I've never even met anyone with that name.

Just so you get the image that I have when I think of Wade, both Wades that I know are very good-looking, athletic guys with blonde hair. One looks a lot like Prince William and the other looks like Michael Vartan (the teacher on Never Been Kissed).

I must have had different experiences because the image that comes to my mind is a middle-aged guy wearing a wife beater with a mullet and beer belly hanging outside his trailer with his beer-drinking buddies.

That's exactly what I think of!

Not really fond of names that are really verbs (or related)--Wade, Chase, Walker, etc. As a name, I picture a guy who's kind of ... slow.

Not a favorite it kinda reminds me of the trailer w/mullet thing

gibs · January 2009

hate it as a first name. ?it's okay, I guess, as a middle name.

Wade was the duck in the Garfield cartoons. He was also my vice principal in high school who was later caught messing around with a middle school girl. It's a pedophile sounding name to me for that reason.

Ditto. Sorry.

It just dawned on me... I bet I'm thinking of Ward, as in Cleaver.

KarlsSweetie05 · January 2009

well, I'm in the definite minority. I don't think of the trailer park reference.

Its NMS, but I don't have any negative thoughts around it.

I thought possibly it was an old english or scottish name.

iluvtom · January 2009

Sorry-I am not a big fan but if you want to honor family that is vey special.

ali-1411 · January 2009

I think of Scarlett's son in Gone With The Wind.

jaredswife · January 2009

I dont really like it

MaudGonne · January 2009

I really dislike it. Very trashy.

kathleenso · January 2009

I really like Wade! I knew a little boy named Wade and he was sweet and quite the individual.

beth thacker · January 2009

thats my daddys name!

I've always liked it as a mn. For a boy i've always liked "Hunter Wade" but my FI says no!

I don't care for it, but I know how important it is to carry on a family name. My first son with my fiance will be Gregory (greg) the 4th. I didn't like it at first, but once I got to meet his family I could see whay it is important & I feel honored to carry it on.
