It is a family name - as a middle name. I just wasn't sure about it being a first name. His middle name would be Henry because of a grandfather who my husband loved very much. Thanks for the help so far!!
Huh, Cabot, eh? Surprisingly enough, I seem to like it! Didn't make me cringe and say "poor kid" so that is a good sign! Cabot Henry you said? Sounds nice. Good choice, especially being family names.
I like it. It is different but not weird, but sounds like a very strong boy name to me. I love it actually the more that I sit here and say it. Good luck!

What a neat poem. Thanks everybody for your responses, you have really helped. I'm worried about people calling him Cabby or Cab for short, and I would hate that. But on the other hand, I do like strong names - so maybe that will outway the bad that can go along with it.
Like Easteregg I am also from the Boston area and immediately think of that poem. Being from this area, and having been to Vermont numersous times, I also think of cheese.

Well, it was good enough for these dignitaries (MN, at least):

http://bioguide.congress.gov/scripts/biodisplay.pl?index=L000394 (Congressman, ambassador, Nixon's first VP candidate, grandson of the above, respectable dude)
Of course, it's a family surname for them. If it's really meaningful to you, then go for it. Personally, it's NMS.

I live in the Boston area. When I think of Cabot, I immediately think of the "Boston Brahmin" Cabot family. Here's a poem often quoted around here:
"So this is good old Boston. The home of the bean and the cod.
Where the Lowells talk only to the Cabots. And the Cabots talk only to God."

Thanks again y'all.

But since it's a family name and will be used as a MN I think it's great.
I kind of like it. it's been used as a little boy's name on the soap opera, As The World Turns - it was the mother's maiden name
it really grew on me during that storyline
