[name]Hi[/name], my husband has fallen in love with the name [name]Sawyer[/name] [name]Grace[/name] and i’m just wondering what everyone thinks about it. Thanks. Any suggestions would also be appreciated.
** EDIT – I guess i should have mentioned it before but i never thought. When my DH saw the name Sawyer Grace and fell in love with it, it was partially because he just loved it, but mainly because Sawyer is his grandmothers maiden name, and Grace is my gran’s name. I do realize that Grace is seen as somewhat of a filler or overused name, but that isnt the case for us. thank you everyone for your input !!
I like the name [name]Sawyer[/name] I think it works well for a little girl and I like it paired with [name]Grace[/name] its sweet and simple but obviously feminine. If your husband likes [name]Sawyer[/name] but you want something that is less common you might like [name]Sayer[/name]…it has a similar sound and is Welsh meaning “carpenter”.
I love it! I think of an adventurous little girl with freckles pretending to be a pirate. I have a couple of combos I have been mulling over, but I’m not completely satisfied with either of them. [name]Sawyer[/name] [name]Grace[/name] is nice enough, but I feel like [name]Grace[/name] is so tiring in the middle slot.
I don’t really like [name]Sawyer[/name] for a girl–it’s all boy to me. But [name]Grace[/name] is a lovely middle that give it some balance. Were you wanting first name suggestions, or alternate middles?
I prefer it for a boy, but that’s me personally. I don’t see any reason why it can’t be super cute on a girl, and [name]Grace[/name] would be a great middle with [name]Sawyer[/name]. It’s used a lot for a reason - it’s feminine without being too frilly.
I like [name]Sawyer[/name] - but not on a girl. [name]Even[/name] with [name]Grace[/name]. Most people will never see or learn her middlename and [name]Sawyer[/name] just doesn’t strike me as a good name for a girl or a woman.
Up until I started using Nameberry I honestly had no idea [name]Sawyer[/name] was a boys name! I’ve only ever met girls with the name, and because of that I prefer it on girls.
I think [name]Sawyer[/name] [name]Grace[/name] is cute.
My brother’s name is [name]Sawyer[/name] and I personally love it. However…he constantly gets asked when he tells someone his name, “wait, what is your name?” And he always has to repeat it and say, “[name]Sawyer[/name], like [name]Tom[/name] [name]Sawyer[/name].” His nickname from all his friends has been “Soy-Boy” his whole life as well. He is currently 21 and pursuing an acting career, so now he loves it because it is more unique. Oddly enough, my other brother is [name]Taylor[/name] and when he was born the name was solely used for boys, but now it’s more of a unisex name and I know many girls with the name [name]Taylor[/name]. In the end, it’s totally up to whatever works best for you and your family. Good luck!
I like -er names that aren’t occupational surnames, examples: [name]Ember[/name], [name]Briar[/name], [name]Esther[/name], [name]Demeter[/name], [name]Vesper[/name], [name]Winter[/name], etc.
Any of those are more appealing to me than [name]Sawyer[/name]/[name]Harper[/name]/[name]Piper[/name]/[name]Taylor[/name]/[name]Baxter[/name]/[name]Dexter[/name] etc. But I don’t think of occupational names as inherently gendered -carpenter, musician, baker, whatever, either girls or boys can be those.
I dislike [name]Sawyer[/name] on a boy, but I dislike it even more on a girl. It’s so masculine. [name]Grace[/name] makes it more girly, but it’s just so overused in the middle spot.
I love [name]Sawyer[/name], especially on a girl! However, I hate [name]Grace[/name]. It’s so overdone and boring in the middle spot that it seems like this decade’s version of [name]Marie[/name].
I dislike [name]Sawyer[/name] as a name in general. Probably because after the TV show Lost i suddenly knew several babies, boys and girls, named [name]Sawyer[/name]. It shot up here and fizzled out really fast and it just seems really trendy and meaningless to me.
However, if you really love [name]Sawyer[/name] i say go for it. But [name]Grace[/name] is such an overused, boring, filler middle name. Unless it has some personal meaning to you, I say find a new middle.
[name]Say[/name] [name]Sawyer[/name] and try to imagine a little girl?
[name]Imagine[/name] the teacher calling [name]Sawyer[/name] in class role to shockingly find out it is a girl.
thank you everyone for your input !!
