Personal experiences with the name Slade

Slade is such a cool name. My husband chose the name and people are always telling Slade what a awesome name he has.

I chose this name when I was still pregnant and when he was born I just knew it was his name. Had been all along. We had Brody, Ryun and a few others picked but Slade stood out.

My sons name is Slade and we get compliments on it all the time.

Nicknames for Slade

My son's cousin made up the nickname Slade-O-Potato and it has stuck ever since. I personally call him Sladie and he hates it....."It's not cool mom. Call me Slade-O."

Both nicknames for Slade are different. He gets called 'Slay' now and then but mostly 'Sladey' since he is still a baby.

We call our little guy "Slade-o Potato"

That is so funny! We named our son Slade after his great granddad's middle name and we also call him "Slade-O-Potato" :) At first we called him "Slade-O" because his middle name is Orion so all his hospital stuff read Slade O Wolfe, and that quickly became "Slade-O-Potato".
