I don't mean to be disrespectful, but I think that name is far too dated. The fact that it sounds like landfill is a minor issue compared to the actual name. I would reconsider your choice.

Land Philips sounds cool.. But it probably *will* end up a tease factor (ireland, Scotland,even cleveland ohio... If you love it that will show through and give him the confidence to withstand (or even give back) any taunting.

JMHO...

P.S. Cleve sounds pretty cool too! :)

I wouldn't have even thought of it if you hadn't brought it up. I voted "no". Land sounds neat.

Another thing - if you both like the name go ahead & name your son Cleveland. Dh & I wanted to name our 4th son Lake & we didn't because of having to explain the reason for the name. Now we wish we had gone ahead & given our son the name we really wanted to give him. Don't make a decision, change your mind, & then regret it.

I think Cleveland is awesome. What about the nick ame Cleve? I know a little boy named Cleve and I think it is adorable! I also think it grows up well.

FWIW,

Did you think about calling him Landon/Landen? My friend named her baby boy Landen and she gets tons of compliments even from men!!
