[name\_f]Do[/name\_f] you think it could be a girls name or not? I think it’s quite pretty… but don’t know if it’s actually usable or not. If so what would you pair it with? ---

I think Lockehart and [name\_m]Sherlock[/name\_m] have more potential as girl names. But I also think you should go with your gut I would recommend Locket [name\_u]Dove[/name\_u] for the name. ---

It may be a stretch for me, but I guess it could work… I’d pair it with a more girlie middle name. ---

Agreeing with PP here, it may be a bit of a stretch for myself. I prefer [name\_f]Locklyn[/name\_f]. ---

I would keep it in the middle name spot. ---

I am absolutely swooning! It sounds just like a name, even though it’s not, and the meaning is just divine. I love it. ---

I’m actually quite surprised by the number of positive responses. Not because I don’t like it, but because a random word as a name tends not to go over well in these parts. Anyways, I actually cannot see Locket as a name, for anyone. I would not have been happy if my mother had named me Locket. [name\_m]Just[/name\_m] my opinion. ---

I think it’s one of those words that sounds namelike, but probably wouldn’t work as well in practice. It’s too tied to the object for me, like [name\_f]Apple[/name\_f] or [name\_m]Pilot[/name\_m] or Chandelier. [name\_m]How[/name\_m] about [name\_m]Locke[/name\_m], [name\_u]Lake[/name\_u], [name\_f]Lark[/name\_f], [name\_u]Larkin[/name\_u], [name\_f]Cricket[/name\_f]? ---

Locket. A lock of hair? A gold locket? Pop it, drop it, and lock it? [name\_m]Lock[/name\_m] the door? At best, it’s saccharine mush, and at worst it’s trendy kitsch. I just don’t see it. ---

I like it, actually. It gives me a nice nostalgic image. I’d only use it in the middle spot though. It reminds me of [name\_m]Rocket[/name\_m]. ---

I can see the appeal…you imagine a heart shaped locket: a delicate fine jewelry that holds the image of someone dear to you…I’m just imagining it being called across the room…I don’t really like it, sorry. Would make a good mn bc of the reasons above, just not sure I like it as a fn. ---

No, I don’t think it’s usable.
