Comments and insights on the name Seattle: | Edit

Our son has recieved nothing but compliments from friends, teachers, etc. However, 1st thought everyone asks if he was born or conceived in Seattle, no one asks that about kids named Madison, Dakota, Denver, or Georgia do they???

Poster above: Those "names" are not names (besides Georgia). They certainly will not aid his, or her, career to success quicker. It is a nice "title," in itself, though... pretty spelling, and such.

Personal experiences with the name Seattle: | Edit

We named our son Seattle, our 1st born, he was born in 1989 & we had never heard anyone name a baby Seattle at the time, however, on facebook another child (girl) named Seattle-Skye found him. Our Seattle is now 20yr old.
We chose the name simply by perusuing a road atlas while on a road trip before his birth, we figure if Dallas, Austin, Madison, Cheyenne, London, etc were used then Seattle wasa cool name
