I just saw this name very recently, and wanted to know what everyone thought of it: Dusk. I didn't even know it was a name until I read it somewhere. It's a bit unusual, obviously. My dh and I are not planning to actually use this name, but I was curious about what other people think. So, what do you think of the boy's name Dusk?

Sorry... I think it is horrible.

A good name for a vampire, though. :)

I actually think it's not so bad. Definitely sounds masculine. If you say it aloud & think of it as a name & not a noun it can really pass as a decent boy's name to me. I've certainly heard much worse.

I love unusual names! I think Dusk is cool. A boy named Dusk would never have 3 other Dusks in his class, that's for sure. It's great!

I am not sure how I feel about it. On the scale of like to dislike, I think I'm leaning towards dislike. The rhyming word "musk" keeps popping into my head...which then brings images of skunks and ferrets and other such animals. Probably not the association I'd want.

Dusk, I agree, sounds like a vampire name. The palest one.

Horrible. Terrible. No good. Very bad. NO boy wants a weirdo name that other kids will make fun of. Ask your husband how he would like to be saddled with that name as a child or as an adult.

I like it. It sounds like one of those nature names with a twinge of the gothic to it.

I like Dusk. It's very unique and very masculine. I'm sure any boy would be proud of this name!
