Occupation names

Boy Names

The inspiration for this post: I’ve loved [name_m]Thatcher[/name_m] for a little while now. I recently found [name_m]Colter[/name_m], which I love, but we already have a [name_m]Cole[/name_m] in the family so I won’t be able to use it. I’m watching a movie with a character named [name_u]Mason[/name_u], which I also find intriguing, but I know a couple in real life and don’t want my child to overlap with them.

The bottom line: throw ALL the occupation names you can think of at me! The more uncommon the better but I’m happy to see them all listed here (could be a great resource for others).

As far as I can tell we haven’t made a list like this on the forum before, and searching for “occupation” on the advanced search doesn’t dredge up ALL the names because some say the specific occupation rather than just generally describing it as an occupation name.

Ooooh [name_m]Navigator[/name_m]!! :heart_eyes::heart_eyes: Nickname possibilities [name_f]Navi[/name_f] AND Gator?!?! Soooo good!! I don’t know that I’m bold enough to use it myself but I’d be STOKED to meet someone cool enough to use this name!

I’m also a HUGE fan of [name_m]Brewster[/name_m]! It’s soooo cool and spunky. I only falter a little on it when I try it out loud though - my mouth wants to slip into Bruiser and that’s not what I want. I definitely blame myself though, not the name, and would love to see someone else use this
