Tell me what you think of...

Kiefer ?

Noooo, I'm not pregnant ( 'd be horrified to be pregnant again right now, omg!), but I'm bored right now ( :lol: ) and DH and I were discussing this name last night for a little boy, as we love traditional names, but not common one. Our DD (Isla) is Scottish as DH's grandmother is Scottish and so was my grandfather. Kiefer is German, my Grandmothers side is German.

Do you think it goes well with DD's name? What middle name would you choose? And do you have any similar name suggestions?

:)

I like it but I have a Kiefer Saddle for my horses so thats all I think of! Lol

Also, our last name is Collins. Is Kiefer Collins too rhymey, or does it have a nice ring to it?

ETA :rofl: Jakabella!!

If I didn't have said saddle I would def go for it and I think it goes well with your s'name and his big sisters name :)

I like Kiefer James Collins... Sounds so regal'

Funny you say that, DH's middle name is James. You're right, it sounds very high and mighty :p

My DH is James..

James is one of my fave names, but I have two cousins called James :( For a middle name though I am really feeling it.

I quite like it but out loud it sounds like you are saying "K for Collins" with an accent.

I imagine watching Lost Boys and drooling over Keifer Sutherland :)

Hmmm. Honestly? No.

How do you pronounce it? Keef fer ?

I'm not a fan sorry.

Pronounced Key-fur :)

I don't mind it and I like Keifer Sutherland, the actor.

I think it goes nicely with James :)

:/ oh crap divvy doesn't like...looks like little Kiefer must be destined for family court. Why little Kiefer, WHY?? :crying: :rofl:

I still like it ;)

You know what it reminds me of? One of the girls of 16 and pregnant had a bf named keefer

Personally not a fan of the name.

...kids will probably call him Kiefer the reefer...maybe that's why he goes to family court ;) :dunno:

I don't mind it at all.

I don't fancy it but it's not one of those names that make you wonder if the parents were on drugs or the baby was conceived between stays in gaol.

Nup not a fan of Kiefer either, sorry.

Poor little Kiefer has received similar reactions IRL too. Oh well :) Now at least I know if I ever use that name who will be facepalming behind his back ;) :rofl: Maybe Kiefer the reefer and Scarlett the Harlet can get together? (I LOVE Scarlett!)

Hey!! Number 16 Bus Shelter is a close friend of mine, thank you very much!

Thanks for the honest opinions ladies :D

Not a big fan either hun, but remember it's your choice! You'd have to think what it could rhyme with at school or something, little kids can be soooooo nasty sometimes :(

I dont want to put a dampener on name choosing, but.... ;)

To me, Kiefer sounds like some North London gangster type cant pronounce Keith. Like "hey, Keef-uh, watchoo looking at?" etc

Btw- a dear friend of mine once told me the name she preferred for her unborn son. Apparently I said I didnt like it, which was churlish if me. She reminded me years later when I insisted I had always like the name, it suited him, she must have misheard me etc. What we may like or dislike today may change tomorrow.

So long you're not mangling the language with illegible spelling or weird-ass punctuation, name your kiddies what you like.

I can't think of anything but Kiefer sutherland. Therefore I'm perfectly fine with it as a name (massive young guns, lost boys, three musketeers etc fan). But now it occurs to me younger generations don't know who he is.

How old do I feel now that someone had to ask how to pronounce it? Lol.

That's why DH and I never discussed our names with anyone ;)

Not a fan of it sorry.

That's what I thought. Hello what's your name collins k for Collins. Sean Connery style. I only think this as I have to say something like this for our last name.

But I do like the name, but not sure I'd use it with that last name.

I live it rofl rofl rofl

I like it. But I'm afraid to say its not a German name. :hide: It's origins are German ("Kiefer" being a pine tree or your jaw), but never used as a name in Germany. It is a very popular name in America, though! :D Sorry if I ruined it. :hide:

Noo Oma told me it was :( :p My grandmothers uncle was Kiefer, but she hasn't lived in Germany for a good 60 years. But you, m'dear, would know :)






I STILL like it.

i dont mind it, dont love it.
i like the fact its not too common but do automatically think of Keifer sutherland

:think: Mmmhh... you know it could just be an old fashioned name that's not around much anymore...After all, you Oma's Uncle would have been named roughly 100 years ago... So it's all possible! I learn something new everyday! Hehe
I do love the name, though ;)
