My BFF just found out she’s expecting and she told me today that if her baby is a boy, she’s going to name him [name]Roper[/name] [name]Lane[/name]. I think its cut, but I’m unsure of it. [name]Just[/name] curious what the Berries thought.
That’s a surname/occupational name I do not expect to get very popular. All I can think about is Mr. [name]Roper[/name] from the show Three’s Company. I’m really not a fan.
Also, [name]Roper[/name] is a place name… I don’t remember where it is a city, but I know it is one. So [name]Roper[/name] [name]Lane[/name] really sounds like the name of a street.
Also, [name]Lane[/name] was the name of a really mean girl who went to my high school. So… no, I’m not loving the name.
My first thought exactly!
Second thought is a cowboy saying, “Rope 'er”. As in a cow or something of that sort.
[name]Lane[/name] is really sweet on a little boy. [name]Love[/name] it!
The name as a whole? Not so much.
Also, the baby’s father is a cowboy to the core. He works on a horse ranch, rides in rodeos, the whole nine yards. I think that also has something to do with her choice.
Ooh. I think of cowboy-ism as more of a lifestyle than an occupation. In this case it’s more of a lifestyle influenced choice. That definitely softens my opinion of the name as a whole.
[name]Roper[/name] [name]Lane[/name] sounds like a dirt road on a ranch. I like both [name]Roper[/name] and [name]Lane[/name] separately and I think I’d prefer if they were paired with a name-name instead of an word/occupation-name. It doesn’t sound enough like a persons name to me, instead of being part of the directions to someones house.
[name]Roper[/name] [name]Wolfgang[/name] or [name]Matthew[/name] [name]Lane[/name] I’d be all about (Sorry I couldn’t come up with a name that sort of means [name]Roper[/name] but isn’t the guy who makes ropes for a living.)
It’s nice to see some different occupational names being used
I like [name]Roper[/name], while [name]Lane[/name] is just OK. It really sounds like a street. Since Dad is a cowhand he may like [name]Roper[/name] Rein (as in the reins on a horse). I think a 2 syllable name would also work. [name]Landry[/name] maybe?
It sounds like a road name. Not a fan.
All I hear is “rope her”. I think some occupational names just don’t work in the real world and [name]Roper[/name] is one of them.
[name]Roper[/name] sounds like a cowboy, so if they are ranch people and he will grow up as one then why not? I would not call a city kid [name]Roper[/name] though!
uh…raper
Based on the way you described your BFF it sounds appropriate. Cute name, I’m sure he’ll grow into it
Sounds like it suits them very well, though I do agree that it sounds like a road. I have positive associations with [name]Roper[/name] - the lead singer of a band I loved as an early teen was named [name]Reese[/name] [name]Roper[/name]. He was a very cool guy.
I agree roper reminds me of mr.roper on threes company.
