Not expecting, but currently crushing hard on [name_m]Ford[/name_m] and [name_u]Gentry[/name_u], especially paired with big brother, Rhett’s name. They fit my trendy, [name_u]Southern[/name_u] style, and are unique enough where I live that they stand out without being too odd (much like Rhett’s name!).
What are your thoughts on [name_m]Ford[/name_m] and [name_u]Gentry[/name_u] with Rhett’s name? [name_f]Do[/name_f] they work for potential siblings?
[name_f]Do[/name_f] [name_m]Ford[/name_m] and [name_u]Gentry[/name_u] fit with the rest of my list (see below)?

[name_f]Do[/name_f] you picture [name_u]Gentry[/name_u] as being a boy’s name, a girl’s name, or evenly split?
I quite like [name_m]Ford[/name_m] and [name_u]Rhett[/name_u] together.
[name_u]Rhett[/name_u] and [name_u]Gentry[/name_u] together are a bit too Gone with the Wind-esque for me. It makes me think of plantation owners (not in a good way). As someone from the American [name_u]South[/name_u], my assumption would be the parents had some rather romanticized ideas regarding [name_u]Southern[/name_u] history. (Just to be clear, I am in no way saying you agree with these and this impression is likely highly dependent on location.)
That said, [name_m]Ford[/name_m] and [name_u]Gentry[/name_u] do fit very well with the rest of your list. [name_u]Gentry[/name_u] is gender-neutral in my mind, but I’ve only ever met girls in real life.
Personally not a fan of [name_u]Gentry[/name_u] but [name_m]Ford[/name_m] and [name_u]Rhett[/name_u] are favorites of mine. Currently considering both for baby four coming in [name_u]June[/name_u].
Though [name_m]Ford[/name_m] isn’t a name that’s my style, I think it’s quite cute with [name_u]Rhett[/name_u]! I’m not a fan of [name_u]Gentry[/name_u], as it reminds me of gentrification. I generally like “softer” boys names, so take these opinions with a grain of salt!
I think [name_m]Ford[/name_m] and [name_u]Gentry[/name_u] go perfectly with [name_u]Rhett[/name_u]. And I know in the rankings [name_u]Gentry[/name_u] is more popular for girls, but I see this as a boy’s name.
Yeah, I suppose we sort of stuck ourselves there with the GWTW associations. We’re from Canada so the associations wouldn’t likely be as intense, but I can see why they would be in the US.
Ooh lovely! Haven’t met another Rhett his age yet (Mine is 4mos. on Jan. 8!)! The only one I’ve met is in his 20s!
me too! It’s really grown on me!
Thank you! I used to prefer softer sounds but I feel like the vibe of Rhett’s name is a perfect compromise for S/O and I
This is my situation - I know it’s more common for girls but love it for a boy as well! It may be like Sawyer + Walker for me where it’ll just sit on both lists.
[name_m]Ford[/name_m] is wonderful! Rugged but sophisticated - snappy, sparky and charming, with a friendly, outdoorsy feel.
[name_u]Gentry[/name_u] is okay - a bit, upper gentry, a touch of english snobbery that I definitely don’t get from [name_u]Rhett[/name_u]. Still, it does have a cool sound.
I think [name_u]Gentry[/name_u] works on a boy - would I wonder if it was a fem name with [name_u]Rhett[/name_u]? Maybe, but I wouldn’t be surprised to meet a boy [name_u]Gentry[/name_u], since it’s not all that popular
[name_f]My[/name_f] son’s name is [name_m]Ford[/name_m], no regrets! We love it. I LOVE [name_u]Rhett[/name_u] but sadly we have a good friend who just named her son that. If we had another boy here are a few on my list in case you are open to others:
[name_m]Ford[/name_m] and [name_m]Wes[/name_m]
[name_m]Ford[/name_m] and [name_m]Bridges[/name_m]
[name_m]Ford[/name_m] and [name_m]Briggs[/name_m]
[name_m]Ford[/name_m] and [name_m]Jones[/name_m]
[name_m]Ford[/name_m] and [name_m]Whittaker[/name_m] (Whit)
[name_m]Ford[/name_m] and [name_u]Hayes[/name_u]
[name_m]Ford[/name_m] and [name_u]Banks[/name_u]
[name_m]Ford[/name_m] and [name_u]Crosby[/name_u]
[name_m]Ford[/name_m] and [name_u]Beck[/name_u]
[name_m]Ford[/name_m] and [name_m]Locke[/name_m]
[name_m]Ford[/name_m] and [name_m]Hart[/name_m]
[name_m]Ford[/name_m] and [name_u]Mercer[/name_u]
Hmm… I must admit that [name_m]Ford[/name_m] did make me think of cars initially (an image of a Model T came to mind)… but after all, it was someone’s name first, so I think it works! It has a nice retro elegance to it, and also reminds me of famous cinematic figures such as [name_u]John[/name_u] [name_m]Ford[/name_m] & [name_u]Francis[/name_u] [name_m]Ford[/name_m] Coppola. It goes great with [name_u]Rhett[/name_u], too!
As for [name_u]Gentry[/name_u], I’m afraid I can’t quite get past the “landed gentry” association, so for me it just sounds like a word, rather than a name.
