[Opinions] Hawk
I am finding this name pretty awesome. There's something visually striking and handsome about it. I like it with a more classic middle, like Hawk Philip, Hawk William, Hawk Lucas. But how cheesy is it as a name?

This is my friend's nickname, short for Hawkeye, which is her favourite fictional character (the one in Marvel). It suits my friend as a nickname, but I don't feel like it would really work as a given name...maybe as a middle name?

Name of a friend's sonHawk & Jesse.I don't know there middle names. I will admit I find it a little bit silly and don't really get it. But it's worked for him and it fits in with the other nature names. Hawk Lucas is pretty cool.

To addI think in the reverse, Philip Hawk, William Hawk, and Lucas Hawk are positively dashing, and I don't even like any of those FNs. Also, I like Falco better.

I like it =) I'd prefer to hear a BA of Hawk rather than another Jayden/ Kaylan/ Taygen name ANY DAY! I like Hawk Philip and Hawk William.

Intended for OPI'm more inclined to appreciate Hawk as a nickname, but then again I like Fox and Kestrel. Hawk just feels too... Uber macho / video game / comic book character. I enjoy the idea of Hawthorn(e) NN Hawk though

It's cheesy and agressive. Better as a middle name.

Bird-of-prey names--all predator names, really--always sound cheesy to me. Hawk is no exception.It also makes me think of "hawk a loogie." And it sounds just like hock, which makes me think of someone in financial trouble having to pawn their belongings.

Hawks are cool in theory, but very... college mascot to me. Overused commercially the point where it's not as cool anymore.Or it sounds like a big skateboard fan a la Tony Hawk. Hawk Anthony would be nice though, haha.

I like a lot of H-names & agree with the visual strikingness, but I used to know someone who ran a hawking centre and have been up close and personal with various hawks. They are beautiful, and also basically very efficient ripping tearing machines for the destruction of small animals: this is not rly an image I fancy on a person. Yus, absolutely fits into the Hunter/Talon/Blade school of Cheesily Violent Dude Names.Just as cheesy but possibly better in reference terms: Hawkeye?

It's about as cheesy as any other bird name. I like the names Kestrel and Alouette, so I guess I can relate. Mainly it makes me think of a tomahawk and the surname Hawkins.

Makes me think of spitting. Not attractive.

Hawk is a huge GP for me. In real life I'd use it as a middle name. I've also seen Hawkins and Hawkley used with the nickname Hawk.I like Hawk William best from your list. My faves are Hawk Emmanuel, Hawk Julian and Gabriel Hawk.

It's less cheesy than Rock, Fox, Storm, Thorn, Crow, Red, Dutch, Dax, Nash, Puck, Spike, or Pace.It's about equally as cheesy as Blaze, Chance, Ocean, Tex, or Cash.It's more cheesy than Drake, Dirk, Jett, Rex, Ace, Dex, Gage, Trace, Van, Cade, Lane, Sage, Thane, and Kit.I think a too-ordinary classic middle seems like a hedge. I'd go a little wilder. Hawk Ulysses, Hawk Ignatius, Hawk Howard, Hawk Tybalt.

Hawk Thomas?
Hawk Elijah?
Hawk Samuel?I like Hawk William and Hawk Philip.

Prairie and Hawk! Whoa! ...they don't also happen to have another sister named Sorcha, do they?Hawk Elijah is really lovely, I dig that one! Rox's post about how Hawk is totally cheesy and possibly also gross is making me want to just go full on gross-cheese and make combos like:Hawk Roger (I find Roger to be a hypercheese name)
Hawk Ralph
Hawk Rufus
Hawk Steele
Hawk Pierce
Hawk Axel
Hawk Cruz
Hawk Gunnar
Hawk Cannon
Hawk Ryder lol
This is really fun you guys

Very cheesy. Fake studly name, cheap drugstore romance name, low-budget Clive Cussler knockoff adventure series.
Plus, people hawk programs at baseball games, hawk vitamins on late-night TV, hawk salvation on street corners, and hawk up phlegm in the bathroom.

LOL...I work in a second hand shop (for a Swedish aid organisation) and we get a lot of Clive Cussler books. Sometimes we get cheap drugstore romance books, but they go directly to paper recycling, because people don't buy them second-hand. I like to check out the names of the hero and heroine, they are always cheesy, like Lady Chrystabel and Troy...
