Winston vs. Truman?

We have 2 historic last names for first names and are expecting a 3rd (unknown gender). For a boy which has the cool factor without being super popular and are either of these dorky or “old man” sounding which I want to avoid? Really liked [name_m]Truman[/name_m] until I started to over think it. Then loved [name_m]Winston[/name_m] until I worried it sounded like [name_m]Walter[/name_m] or other old man name instead of cool surname which is more my style. [name_u]Baby[/name_u] due in 4 weeks.

I quite like [name_m]Truman[/name_m]. It doesn’t sound like an “old man” to me and you could get the nn [name_m]Tru[/name_m] out of it if you like nicknames, which is cute. [name_m]Winston[/name_m], however, does sound like an “old man” name to me. [name_m]Winston[/name_m] also sounds like a name you’d use for an English Bulldog. I love those dogs and it’s a cute name, but I wouldn’t want that association personally. lol Of course, if you don’t think of bulldogs when you hear it, it’s a completely different story. Anyway, if it were me and I was choosing between the two, I would definitely go with [name_m]Truman[/name_m]. =]

I love [name_m]Winston[/name_m]. I don’t think it’s an old man’s name at all! While I prefer not to nickname, [name_m]Winston[/name_m] does have nn [name_u]Winn[/name_u] which I think is very cool.

[name_m]Truman[/name_m] - Not an old man’s name either [name_f]IMO[/name_f]. My mind goes straight to the movie The [name_m]Truman[/name_m] Show. I like the beginning of this name a lot ‘[name_m]Tru/name_m’, but don’t like the ending ‘man’ to me it’s a deal breaker. I would go with Truesdale or [name_m]Trumaine[/name_m] just to avoid the ‘man’.

But overall, I just love [name_m]Winston[/name_m] if it goes with your other children’s name I’d go with [name_m]Winston[/name_m].

I like both. [name_m]Winston[/name_m] [name_m]Truman[/name_m]?

[name_m]Winston[/name_m]! A hundred times [name_m]Winston[/name_m]. I know a little boy with this name, and it is adorable. I think it would age well, but is certainly not an old man name once you have a different association. Such a handsome, fun choice. Good luck!

[name_m]Winston[/name_m] does have a bit more of a vintage feel to me than [name_m]Truman[/name_m], but I prefer it out of the two!

I prefer [name_m]Truman[/name_m], as [name_m]Winston[/name_m] feels dorky and old man to me.
