Sawyer is adorable for a little boy and yet, a strong, rugged name for a man. I LOVE the name Sawyer!
I like to think that it's a up-and-coming gender-neutral name :) My brother-in-law and his wife just named their first born (girl) "Sawyer Grace" When I show people pictures of her and tell them her name it always gets great compliments..

In form, Sawyer fits with preppy surnames like Parker and Spencer, but its spirit is freer. The immortal Tom Sawyer lends the name a warm heart and an eye for mischief. This name was something of a hidden treasure for years, but a character on the tv series "Lost" raised its profile.
