Comments and insights on the name Thurgood

Personal experiences with the name Thurgood

Thurgood is our two-year-old son's middle name. We chose it to represent justice (his first name is Paxton, which we chose to represent peace). So far, the feedback has been very, very positive and we have no regrets about our name choice. We considered Thurgood as a first name but the mantle of responsibility with a name like that just seemed to great (that, and, I didn't love the nicknames we imagined for Thurgood--Theo, Goodie, etc).
