Dunno, kids are mean they will make fun of ANY name. If they can't find anything wrong with your name they will invent one for you.
DRAKE the Old Norse personal name Draki or the Old English personal name Draca both meaning "dragon". |

Drake? You might as well name him "Spike-the-volleyball-at-my-head-and-steal-my-lunch-money".
It's probably not a bad name, but we had a kid that lived across the street from us for a while named Drake, and he was a real weenie. So the name has a bad connotation for me. |

I like the name (although I prefer the other spelling of Stewart) - it sounds like a doctor's name [:)]. I actually wanted Drake to be my son's middle name because I had met his father in a little place called Drakes Branch. His father didn't agree on the name though.
If your child is the type to be teased, it doesn't really matter about the name. Kids will find something to tease him about. |

[Homer Simpson]Well then how about Bart? I can't think of anything the other kids could think of to tease him about with that name.[/Homer Simpson]
How about Tuff, Like Tuff Heiderman the bull riding champ. I think to some extent the meaning of your name has a real effect on your personality. It becomes how you see yourself. My sons name is Asher Isaac Nathaniel Zuriel Hathaway, & I picked those names by their meanings,to add to who he is,& help him understand what he is about. Asher = Happy, blessed,to be envied. Isaac = Laughter Nathaniel = Gift of the Lord Zuriel = The Lord is my rock,& sure foundation. |

Stewart is the proper Scottish spelling, Stuart is the French spelling (Yuck). The name is an occupational name, the Stewarts took the name as a surname from their title, they were the Stewards of Scotland following the failure of the Bruce male line.
The Campbells have a long and at points, infamous history of on again, off again collusion with the English invaders (but what clan in Scotland did not constantly trade allegiance to improve their power and status?) My own clan, the MacDonalds, suffered grievous treachery at the hands of the Campbells, but that was ages past, and grudges of that sort are evil to hold onto. The MacDonald's the Bruce's, the Stewarts, all trades allegiance many, many times in their histories. Robert the Bruce killed the head of the Comyns on the altar steps of a church. Scotlands history is colorful, but often less than noble. Drake is not a Scottish name. It is an english corruption of a Roman Word "Draco" "Dragon". My son is named Duncan (Scots gaelic: brown warrior). The name doesn't actually fit, because his hair is red, but my wife liked it. Obviously kids will nail him with Duncan Donuts or some such crap, but since his sister already made that connection, he should be used to it by the time he hits school. Virtually all names can be twisted into something nasty, so do what you will. |

Old traditions are not bad. Alot of people name their boys with a combination of their name or their dads for a middle name or the inverse. A grandparent or uncle in the mix is not bad either. A relative that is loved and respected is never bad.
It's great to tell the little guy their name came from somewhere and has meaning. Who knows you may start a tradition and add just a little more to the immortality a son brings to a father. 200 years from now someone with your last name just may have your first name. It will most certainly help them deal with people making fun of their names for a family name gives backbone to a kid. I know you guys are going to say it's a sourthern thing and it is............but I know who my great great great grandfather was. Everyone thought Michael was so origninal and cool 20 to 30 years ago now it's the most popular name and you say hey Mike and 10 people will turn around. I ought to know 10 years before that it was Bill. Tj/Bill |

I think you should name kids after a Saint (if you are Christian), otherwise make sure it is a name which reflects your culture. If you are Scottish there are web sites with Celtic names. My wife and I didn't decide on a name until the evening before we went to the hospital, and we didn't decide if he should be circumsized until after he was born. Pretty indecisive...
