Do you know anyone with the names West, Gage, Drake or Cruz?

Do you know anyone with the first names of West, Gage, Drake or Cruz born in the last say 3 years??

Just trying to get a feel of whether these names are popular here or not. Only Cruz is in the Top 100 boys names for 2007 on BD&M website.

I don't know anyone with these names - but I don't find them too "out there" either - so great choices :clap:!

We have Drake as a middle name on our list and I love Cruz!

Hey Anna

Have you looked on the baby names voyager website?? ill PM you the link,
I think i had a great grandfather with the name West?? not sure have to check with my mum, its a really old fasioned name, i like it !

I dont know anyone with any of these names, I think they all sound great Jett & Ripley

I know a 3 year old Drake - but he is the only one.

I know a women who had a Cruize last year. It got a few derogatory comments around these here parts I can tell you LOL. It's your baby, so call him what you want to call him.

i dont know anyone with these names but I love the name Cruz. I think after Posh and Becks called their son that it kind of took off. Pink Place just used the name Cruz as a middle name to her DS.

about 6 years ago when i worked in Childcare, we had a baby called Gage, he was a chubby little cutie.

This is the first time i have ever heard of West as a given name, thanks, i have learnt something new for the day!

I don't know any Wests, but I do know a South - so maybe you're going in a new direction?!?!?!
I did meet one little Gage, back in 2003, he was about 3, but I reckon I meet 100+ chn/yr, so I figure that's not too common.
I haven't met any Cruz's or Drakes.

West is my pick.

Cruz is used as a female name in Spanish-speaking countries, but I think it's going to get really popular for boys thanks to the celebrity associations.

I love the names West and Gage but haven't heard of them often. Cruz and Drake I am not fond of but he is your boy!

:dance:Pinkpalace from our october belly budies group named her son Ethan Cruz, but I don't know anyone else with any of the names! :dance:
Good luck if your anything like us you'll be needing it after almost 9 months of debate we've narrowed the list to 3 names! :doh: It seems to be alot harder this time too many to chose from!!! lol

I only know a Cruz who goes to school with my son.. He is nearly 9.. I vaguely remember someone else at his school with the name Gage but only because I heard the name get called out in the playground..

One of Maddy's best friends at her daycare in Brisbane was Cruz (they'll be 3 in December), and aside from Drake, I've never heard the other two (West or Gage) used as children's names before. There is a gymnastics club in the US called Gage though... :)

there is a Stephen King book with Gage as the main character - it's not a pretty book so has bad connotations for me!! i've heard of boys called Gabriel being shortened to Gabe or Gage

haven't heard of the others (apart from the beckhams) for a while.

Drake makes me think of Joey's character in friends when he was on days of our lives "dr drake ramorez" hehehe

I often read the birth notices here in the Ballarat newspaper and i can't say i have often seen these names ;)

Cruz as a middle name maybe a few times but not the other names that i can remember of :rolleyes:

I tend to notice the common fade names standing out but these names you mention i can't say they have been common in this part of the world !!

I LOVE GAGE !!!!!!!!

Briggsy I know of the book your talking about and it doesnt really phase me as not alot of people would think of that association unless theyve read the book :)

There was a Gage at DS daycare.
I havent heard of anyone called West (but lots of guys nicknames Westy) but I have heard of a boy named North.

Love these names but unfortunatley my DP like more of thecommon names... GRRR

If we have another boy (which i'd like i'd LOVE to use the Name Gage.... Just love it...
