Comments and insights on the name Hunter: | Edit

I don't really like this name as it sounds very American (not a problem if you are American!) but when I hear about English people using it I think it sounds a bit chavvy. That's just my opinion though. Don't let me put you off the name!! x

Looking at the list of sibling names, I like the fact that somewhere out there, there are brothers named Hunter and Chase. Just as long as they don't have a sibling called Quarry...!
