Boys Names (Hunting/Firearm Related)
 

Do you guys have any suggestions as to good boy names that have to do with hunting/shooting?

Thanks

Tom

A kid in my son's little league was named Hunter...

A friend of mine named his male dogs Glock and Winchester. Seriously though depends on how hardcore/historic you want to get. Would you be willing to name your boy after Joyce Hornady or Steve Primos?

I have known kids to be named Remington and Winchester.

How about Charlton after Charlton Heston?

Of course you always have Hunter. Maybe Dusty?

Berry after Barack? gun salesman of the year? lol.

LOL. Needs to be interesting and maybe semi-normal. Hunter is just too common.

I've thought of Trigger but sounds like a dog's name.

Tom

How about Colt or Henry ? I think Colt would be a good name especially with a good middle name.

How about Gunner? A friend of mine's boy has that name. I don't care for it, but it's not too strange, either.

The only other one that comes immediately to mind is "Buck." I don't know about you, but I don't like that one either. When we named our kids we considered more the effect that name would have on their future, the cruelty of kids, etc... I love hunting and guns, but not enough to inflict a silly name on one of my kids.

My son's name is colton, and call him Colt for short.

hunter, fisher, trapper,colt, henry
those are the only name i can think of right now of people i knew with outdoorsy names.

Good buddy of mine named his boy Barrett (Barrett Rifles of course was the inspiration).

You could name him magnum. Might help him get chicks later in life.

My son's name is Hunter.Told wifey if we was to have another we could call hin Fisher.Didn't fly very well.LOL

Esau, Grosvenor, Jaeger, Nimrod, Orion, Percy (Persius), Rigel, Roe, Theron, Todd, Wilder

Some of those are gonna get the kid beat up in school... :s2:

How about Peter or Paul with Mauser as the middle name?

By the way Trigger wouldn't be to bad, Trig is a fairly popular nickname.

Jake...........
He's in my avatar!

John Moses ???

Thanks for the ideas guys. Colt is the best thus far.

I think I want to avoid people and brands. Want to stick mostly with things, ideas etc..

I thought of the name Oak but that was fired out the sky by the Misses.

Any other ideas?

Keep them coming.

Tom

P.S. I'm willing to consider hunting related terms in other languages too.

Tom & Jake, now that's a Turkey hunters family right there!!

how about thrieohate thertyawtsicks forteeformagnym nienmilameater haha

or on a serious note, gage, otis(kinda bad), or if you wanna toughen him up just like that one country song, but instead of sue you could name him daisy

Drake, as in male ducks. Deke or Deek as is decoy but his full name could be Deacon...

I've got a nephew named Remington. Ever since we were kids my brother always said when he had a son he would name him that. Guess he wasnt BS'n.

Doesn't Sarah Palin have a son named Track?? I thought that was unique and cool...

George Costanza liked "7" or "Soda" (ha-ha)

Archer, or Weatherby. Good luck.

Archer... now there's a name I could give both a boy or a girl, without feeling like I'd screwed up their entire childhood with a silly or stupid novelty name.

Too bad I'm done having kids (permanently). Three is enough, especially when they're all 4 and under!

Mike

I like Dakota for either a boy or girl

My son is named DeForest...my nephew is named Samuel Colton (we all call him Colt)...a co-workers son is named Fisher.

Colton is the best mentioned so far. How about Marlin, it worked for Marlin Perkins.

If i ever have a boy His first name would be; Bo and middle name Hunter.

u guyz r nuttz

Can't say I'm really hooked on any of the hunting names I've thought of.

Tom

How about scout?

A name I really considered was Cooper....

My son's middle name is Wade...he just turned three and has now caught 24 fish...:biggrin:

Hat about Steven after Stevens firearms

This thread is classic! I've always theatened the misses that if I have a boy his name is going to be Hunter Rambo Smith

Quickdraw sounds neat.

Sorry guys, the only gun I've really ever used for deer hunting is my Mannlicher Schoenauer, and that's out of the question. (LOL)
I had a friend who named his kid Tracker. Hunter, Spike, Tine, are some of the ones that come to mind.

I didn't read all of the other suggestions, but honestly, please pick your kid's name very carefully.

My family is one of the biggest names in professional rodeo, so they named me something very "western". It's great when I'm at a rodeo, or around ranchers, etc, but when I was in engineering school, or when I'm at professional meetings now, it's very out of context, and people ALWAYS comment on it. It's not insulting, but it's distracting, when I'm trying to work on deals worth millions of dollars to have someone make random conversation about how I got a name like that.

Fairly common names like Colt or Hunter or Marshall are great, but something like Remington, or Ruger (yeah, I've actually met a guy named Ruger, naturally the first thing I said is that "oh man, I have a bunch of ruger guns"-and he hated it! His dad was a shooter, he's NOT) or any of those other random weird names are just a pain in the butt. It's great for creativity, and it seems like a good idea, but honestly, "Gunner" or "Remington" isn't good for a professional adult. If I'm a hiring manager going through resume's, then both "Shaniqua Johnson" and "Gunner Jones" are both going in the trash without getting read.
