I have a 2 year old named Hunter. I also got pregnant when I was 19, gave birth 4 days shy of my 20th birthday. He was born 4 days before my birthday, real cool. Anyhow, his father and I both loved the name because his father worked with a boy named Hunter who said a very adorable/cute remark to my husband when he worked as an eagle scout and he never forgot what the kid told him which was a really cute story.

I didn’t know about the story, I came up with his name while searching for baby names on the internet. I was looking under the category of “nature” names since I was always into nature like things. I love trees I think they are absolutely gorgeous, call me weird, but yeah. Also I had picked out names for both a girl and a boy and they both related to nature. I like uncommon name being that I have an uncommon name myself (my name is not Laurie btw, but my real name rhymes with it). Lol. And yes I get the weird looks and stuff when I call my kid, but who cares about them ~ I love his name =3. Okay I’m done rambling, lol.

Hunter is a very common name in sothern Alabama. If that helps(or not), My first son was named Jackie Dwain. The Jackie was just a name of a friends son and I liked the name. The Dwain was a boy I went to school with and I just liked the spelling because it was different. Well along come the next boy and he got stuck with both granddaddys’s names Walter Mark, and then the girl Her name was Jill to go with Jackie and back then you didn’t know the sex before birth. If she had not been a girl I don’t know. The boys were born in Jan. and Nov. the same year and 2 1/3 yrs later Jill was born. They loved to feel her kick and thel called her Jill all the time. She was that girl BUT she was the biggest Tom boy alive. She played sports and never considered being in pagents or cheerleading. Levis and tee were her fashion and she is 41 now and if not working and wearing a uniform she is in rodeo atire. Her son rodeos, I never got to have a girly girl but I loved them all.

LOL -- some people really are dumb, aren't they?

My oldest son is Christopher Robin! Yes, like the little boy in the Winnie the Pooh stories. My ONLY excuse is that I was *15* when I had him! LOL. He tells everyone his middle name is "Robert".

My 11 year old son is Matthew Peter. the short version of this story is that I was going to put him up for adoption, and had gone as far as leaving him with a Foster family until I could get his father to sign the papers. My mother & I said we needed to come up with a name to call him, and we BOTH came up with the name Matthew at the same time, and Peter just fell into place.

My daughter was named after both sets of my grandmothers: Sophie and Rose. they both passed away on the same day, 12/22 (different years), which also happens to be Sophie's birthday.

And my youngest son, Peyton, was just a name that my husband and I liked. His name was supposed to be preston, up until the time I was wheeled in the delivery room, and then my husband said "Hey, can we change his name to Peyton"?

Sorry -- this got really long!!!

I really had no idea that Aidan was the #1 or #2 top boys name, I wanted an uncommon name and I have a mad hot crush on Aidan Quinn. Asher came about, again, out of wanting an uncommon (not an unusual) name. now there are Asher’s everywhere.

and if I wasn’t dead set on “A” names, Hunter was on the short list.

My hubs has a cousin whose oldest son is named Hunter (he’s 13). And I think there are two Hunters in my oldest’s grade at school.

When I was pregnant with my 1st I was convinced it was going to be a boy. It took no time at all for Shane and I to agree on a boy name… Jacob Harrison. Jacob, just because we both like the name… and Harrison is a family name on my side.

We could not agree on a girl name… it took forever! We finally agreed on our oldest’s name, but I wanted to spell her middle name a different way than Shane did. He won out in the end. So I told him if we ever had another girl, I was naming her all on my own… even if it meant naming her Ethel Matilda.

So then I got preggers again… and it was a girl again. No, her name is not Ethel Matilda. But we could not agree on a name the 2nd time around. We didn’t name her until the day after she was born, poor thing!

I like the name Hunter a real lot. It’s unique for a boy, and it’s going to be manly when he’s grown.
teenage girls are going to love it the same way you did.
Im no where near being pregnant but I already have names too. one of which is Cooper, my boyfriend and my sister hate it.
