Heron: Usable or Not

I know [name_m]Heron[/name_m] for a boy is out there, but is it totally unusable?

Big sis would be [name_f]Marceline[/name_f].

Definitely usable [name_f]IMO[/name_f] - I really like it, actually!

I keep coming back to [name_m]Heron[/name_m]. I love it and think it makes a lovely name.

It definitely feels unisex to me, and I do think of the bird. But think of other nature names as [name_u]Robin[/name_u], [name_m]Hawk[/name_m], [name_u]Raven[/name_u]- I think [name_m]Heron[/name_m] is jut as usable (if not more than some of the other examples.)

I like [name_m]Heron[/name_m]! It’s very handsome and definitely usable.

I think it might be hard to pull off, but not impossible.

I do think it’s usable and nice, and I don’t think that about a lot of other bird names like [name_f]Lark[/name_f], [name_m]Hawk[/name_m], or [name_u]Wren[/name_u]. Definitely male, though.

I think its usable, and very cute with your daughter’s name!

it doesn’t have a nice sound

I know a few people with that as a last name so to me that’s how I view it.

I also think it’s completely accessible and not super crazy as a first name. I’d say go for it.

Ill probably get alot of negative comments from this post but when I first saw the name it reminded me of the drug heroin . Its only one letter off and no im not a drug addict. For that reason alone it would fall into unusable for me. Sorry if I came across as insensitive or rude in my comment it wasnt my intention.
