Wondering if I’m thinking too far into this, but our last name is “Kruis” pernounced “[name]Cruise[/name]”. I believe “port” from the name “[name]Porter[/name]” has some relations to ships/boats. [name]Do[/name] you think he would get made fun of if people saw his last name as a “[name]Cruise[/name] Ship” with first name “[name]Porter[/name]”. I never thought of our last name as a “[name]Cruise[/name] ship”, nobody really has, only until thinking hard about names. Would it be weird to name him “[name]Porter[/name] Kruis”? His brother is named [name]Harrison[/name] fyi.
I really like [name]Porter[/name], it’s on my list. Makes me think of [name]Cole[/name] [name]Porter[/name]
[name]Port[/name] and porthole are boating lingo but [name]Porter[/name] Kruis doesn’t give me that connection.
Porters are the men (usually) that help you with your luggage at fancy hotels or on trains
[name]Porter[/name] [name]Cruise[/name] is awesome. P.K. initials kinda through me off, but the sound is great. [name]Harrison[/name] and [name]Porter[/name] are great.
If it was me, I wouldn’t do it, but I don’t think he’ll be teased. It’s not super noticeable and little kids won’t know what a port is… I can’t guarantee that adults won’t notice though…
I find it hard with last name “Kruis”, as I like some names that start with “C” and I feel like it’s too many “[name]Kay[/name] [name]Kay[/name]” sounds if I used a “C” name. Like [name]Carter[/name] Kruis or [name]Cooper[/name] Kruis or [name]Christian[/name] Kruis. Anyone agree? Ugh so frustrating.
I think it’s cute. I would never have noticed the connection…I believe that when we spend a lot of time with names, sometimes we start to overanalyze a bit, and things bother us that no one else on the planet (even name nerds) would notice!
[name]Harrison[/name] and [name]Porter[/name] make a great combo!
I noticed the connection right away, but I am pretty sensitive to words as names and you already (almost) have one with your last name when you consider the pronunciation. The alliteration with ‘C’ names doesn’t bother me. Depending on the name you pick I think it could sound really great! I actually think [name]Carter[/name] Kruis is cute (although [name]Christian[/name] and [name]Cooper[/name] were a bit much for me- not sure why).
