We have decided on [name]Foster[/name] [name]Michael[/name] for our baby if it is a boy - long story, basically our first date involved someone named [name]Foster[/name]! - and we think it’s a neat, unusual name.
I’m starting to have a few second thoughts about the name because I am a little bit worried about teasing.
[name]Do[/name] you think that [name]Foster[/name] is a name that will be an “easy target?” I go back and forth - I feel like there are so many unusual names now, esp. where we live in Northern [name]CA[/name]. But I would hate to saddle our son with a name he will hate!
I really like [name]Foster[/name]! It’s really grown on me. However I can understand you worrying about him being made fun of. I don’t think it would be a big issue and [name]Foster[/name] is such a handsome name.
[name]Foster[/name] is an awesome name. I really like it. But I think that yes, he might get teased about being a foster child. Kids can be so cruel! Maybe use as a middle??
I think the foster-child association is definitely something to think about with this one.
Not sure if it’s just me, but the first thing I thought of when I saw [name]Foster[/name] was the nursery rhyme ("[name]Doctor[/name] [name]Foster[/name] went to Gloucester
in a shower of rain…")
[name]Foster[/name] is cute. I didn’t know what you were talking about as far as teasing with this name until others pointed it out. I wouldn’t worry about it. I think of [name]Foster[/name] [name]Grant[/name] sunglasses when I hear the name [name]Foster[/name],not foster care.
I love the name foster! I didn’t think of foster care at all when I heard it…but, I did think of the slogan “[name]Foster[/name]'s Australian for beer”. However, children on the playground shouldn’t be too familiar with beer ads, so you should be okay!
I just read a book called [name]Ellen[/name] [name]Foster[/name]…about this very subject. I wouldn’t of thought about the foster care association if I hadn’t just read this. Fabulous book by the way, you should read it.
