Help[Opinions] Re: Gavin
in reply to a message by Realisticmind379
I loved it enough to use it for my son.
I like the sound, I like that it’s a wee bit uncommon, without being WEIRD. It’s easy to spell, easy to pronounce, and goes with multiple middle names.
Also, we are big nicknamers, so “Gav” is a very quick and unoffensive nickname.
I have literally met maybe 3 other Gavins, in my entire life, so I kind of like that as well. I’m not the mom that wants my kids to be Gahvynne, or King Cyrus Poseidon, or Herman Harold Jr, but I do like having names that aren’t super common.
A random funny fact: Gavins’ twin, also has a fairly normal but not exactly common name. As a matter of fact, I had never met another one, only heard the name in a story I listened to while I was pregnant. Whilst at a small homeschool co-op a few years ago, I heard a mother call her child… only, I thought she was calling mine, because she called his exact name. So I wandered over to her and asked her-“is that your sons name?” She kind of looked at me like I’m a weirdo, and was like “yessss?”
So, yeah. Never met another child (or person at all) with the name, and when we do? He has the exact same first and middle name. Super odd coincidence.
