We named our five year old son Cash and have never questioned our decision to name him this. I heard this name during my first trimester and it stuck. It fits his looks and personality so well, and I still absolutely adore the name. I have honestly never had anyone tell me it was a bad choice, in fact most people tell me that they love the name. I have never met another person with his name but I do know that one couple named their little boy Cash about three years after my son was born. I love that it is unique and not common but yet it's still not so far out there that it's just plain weird. Best name in the world! :)

Americans rediscovered this name starting in 2003, the year country music legend Johnny Cash died. The name's cowboy aura is much older, though. You could easily have met a Cash back in the 1870s in a Western outpost like Kansas.
