- Comments and insights on the name Craig: | Edit
My fathers name is Creag. He not one you'd ever want to tease. Seems masculine & serious name for a male, very scottish as is the our last name.
- Personal experiences with the name Craig: | Edit
-Didn't know a lot of Craigs growing up, but have come to see it as a more common name from my generation (70's). I always felt the name (my name) was a little childish since it didn't change as I grew up. David can be Davy as a kid, then Dave, or David as a man, something my name couldn't really do. Pros -- very little teasing. Cons -- very little depth.
