I voted no. It reminds me of the bloody battle between the Normans and Saxons at the Battle of Hastings. :o( Sorry.

I also immediately thought of the Battle of Hastings, so that nixed it for me. I have the same problem with Hastings as I do with names like Shiloh, Colt, and Blade; despite being stylistically different, they all make me think of something violent.

I voted no, but not for the scholarly Battle of Hastings reason - in TX their is video rental store with that name and that is what I first thought of. Is Hastings a family surname? If so, it would make a great mn.

good luck,
