What about the name Tucker?
| Sun, 04-02-2006 - 8:13pm |
My husband and I both really like the name Tucker. However, I am a lot more concerned than my husband about the name because of that awful cuss word beginning with the letter F that it rhymes with. Am I overreacting or should we nix the name because of the rhyming factor?

Im with the pp.. I would of never thought of that. when you hear of a child named Jack does the cuss word its associated with follow? Not for me. I think its a great name and not very popular. Go for it
Sorry to break the trend, but I remember being a young 6th grader on the school bus with 3 brothers with the last name Tucker... needless to say, they got teased about it all the time. Kids are cruel and have a lot of time on their hands.
But, I really like the name, nonetheless. It reminds me of the kids book Tuck Everlasting.

I personally would not put my child in a position for being called "mother-tucker" or worse. Obviously, many names have potential for teasing or being associated with something. I honestly didn't think of "Simon Says" when naming our son (but since it is not a bad word, it wouldn't have deterred me, FWIW) but that first time they played it at story time he was 3 and just broke down in tears. I think that peers and rude adults would bring-up this connection. Sad, because it is just so cute!
When I hear Tucker I think tummy tuck and some one who tuck some one
I always wanted to name a boy Tucker, but changed my mind when I thought more about it because of the F word
maybe you could use it as a middle name

I think the f-word is inevitable at some point, most likely among teenage boys. Still- it's a strong, appealing name.
Perhaps you could warm to Trevor, Tanner, Truman, Tobin or the real winner in my book- Turner.
Other Tucker-type names- Sawyer, Hudson, Parker, Fisher, Walker, Cooper, Carson, Weston, Maverick, Dalton, Lander, Hunter, Fletcher, Foster, Hartley, Palmer, Corbin, Wyatt
Lots of luck, Ginger
