So I saw the movie The Space Between Us last night (terribly cheesy by the way!) and the main character is a young man named [name_u]Gardner[/name_u] - who coincidentally tends to a garden in the movie. Never heard this as a first name before but I quite like it! It suited the actor too.
I really like [name_u]Gardner[/name_u]. I think it would make a cool middle name, or a first name for someone who was a little bolder. I wouldn’t use it, because I have to many names I love more, but I do think it would suit my style!
I agree, I thought it just sounded like a “cool name”. Not sure if I’d be cool enough to use it. Fits in with the [name_m]Archer[/name_m], [name_m]Fletcher[/name_m], [name_m]Thatcher[/name_m], etc. group of names as well.
I knew a girl named [name_u]Gardner[/name_u] once (but I’m not sure if it was spelled this way or [name_u]Gardener[/name_u]- I would pronounce them basically the same). It was a family name and worked really well on her!
