Comments and insights on the name Dallas

Personal experiences with the name Dallas

My son is named Dallas Ashton Johnson and i have a son named Houston Gage Johnson also.

People seem to be fifty/fifty on this name. I love it, but I wouldn't suggest it unless you or your spouse have Texas ties. Being from Dallas, it's one of my favorite names. There is the outsider's connection, which could be good or bad.

I love this name, not from Texas but I am a big fan of the Dallas Cowboys. I also just love the edge of the name. Me and My boyfriend already decided that if we have a boy we will name him Dallas Rocky Lawson.
