Baby boy name too Tory?

[jkbmah]

Hi all, my oh and I always disagree on boy names. We have found one we both like but then someone on here mentioned the Tory connotations and now I can't get it out of my head.

Our baby boy name of choice is 'Cameron/Cam' I still really like the name but worry people will think we are massive fans of David Cameron!!!

Thoughts?

My other half's name is Cameron and I've never made the connection. It's a lovely boys name and one well-known person shouldn't put you off using it

 

[amytrisha]

Love that name, it was on our shortlist.

 

[Loobs]

I love the name Cameron! It's never made me think of that dreadful man haha.

I love the name Cameron but we did get lots of comments from friends about David Cameron. It has put us off the name but i still love it x

What is Tory and who is David Cameron?

I would have said that a 'Tory' name was something along the lines of Benedict or Jeffery, but then again I quite like both (despite being a Labour voter). He won't be in power (fingers crossed!) for much longer so I don't think it'll affect him.

What is Tory and who is David Cameron?

British prime minister. Tory means conservative.

I was fully expecting to read the name "Boris"!!! I wouldn't think of David Cameron, as it's a first name not a last name so my mind separates them for some reason.

British prime minister. Tory means conservative.

Ok thanks. I know what it means in that sense then, I guess it was just the context was missing when I wasn't familiar with his name....country to country variations.

I think because Cameron will be used as a first name it won't always trigger the last name connection to your Prime Minister.

Oh...and I like Cameron!

I like the name but have to admit that's the reason I didn't and won't use it.

 

[Sarah lo]

I wouldn't have associated the name with David Cameron. Its a nice name. Plus David Cameron's not exactly done anything memorable with his time as prime minister so chances are he'll be forgotten about within a few years of being voted out

Lol at Boris

I love the name Cameron. I don't have any neg connotations though with it, bc i'm from the US - lol.

I would have it on my top 10, but i'm put off by the meaning - which is "crooked nose." Grrrr! (I would possibly still use it though regardless).

David Cameron wouldn't be the first thing I think of when I hear Cameron. I've always liked the name myself and DC wouldn't put me off.

 

[MummyMana]

If you think people are likely to assume that your a David Cameron fan because of it, aren't they equally likely to think your must a big fan of James Cameron?

It's a lovely name in it's own right and has been for years and years

 

[Katiie]

My sons name is Cameron!!

I loveeee it!!
And nobody has ever mentioned David Cameron to us

 

[BlaireUK]

I'm from Scotland and Cameron is far from a Tory name up here! It's lovely, I'd never have associated it with DC.

I thought you were going to say a traditional Tory name like Arthur, Jeffrey, Florence, Elsbeth (all of which are no longer owned by the middle/upper classes!)
