   If you want my opinion, and I know you do, I think place names for people are, what’s the word I’m looking for, um, lame! I’m just kidding, don’t flame me :P Actually they are pretty inspiring. I’m sure most places are named after people — ambitious and adventurous ones that either discovered, settled, or influenced it in a significant way. So it’s not only fitting that someone can be named after a place but they already have a leg up.

   We named our son Boston and everyone loves it, its a really strong sounding name and something a bit different. Although everyone assumes are are Red Sox fans!

   I LOVE the name Boston and I’m considering it for our little one due in October. It’s unique, modern and personable. Now if I can convince my husband of this, I’ll be a happy girl…. but I’m not going to share this with my prego friends. They will snatch it before I get the chance!

   Obviously from my name…..our son is named Boston. We are from Massachusetts (obviously) and fell in love with the name immediately. It fits him. It is a nice, strong name. Not to mention we are huge Sox fans!! But the name Boston is awesome and everybody that hears it says the same.

   My son is named Boston – Boston O’Shey(due to my husband’s family is irish) actually and everybody absolutely loves it – he is 12 now. I think it is a unique strong name… they will never say Boston who? because he is the only Boston around…lol

   My son’s name is Boston Davis and he is 5 months old. I absolutely love the name. Everyone loves it, I just hope it doesn’t become too popular, I like how unique it is. We loved the city of Boston and when our son was born it was exactly 2 years to the day that my boyfriend and I took our first trip together, to Boston! And just like someone else who posted, everyone thinks we are a Boston Red Sox fan.

   Boston is our beautiful daughter’s name. My husband was in the Navy, and it took us away from our beautiful hometown. We thought it was the perfect name…Only my husband TELLS people she’s named after the Red Sox!

   I was about to ask if anyone has heard it for a girl’s name…. my sisters are giving me sh*t about naming my daughter, due in february, Boston… but we’re going to stick our ground…

   now if we can only find a middle name, some we’ve been thinking of are Jade, scarlet, violet, grace

   Our son is due in December and we plan on naming him Boston Edward. My husband proposed to me after I ran the Boston Marathon, so, to us, this name has meaning! It’s definitely a strong name! Now all we need to do is convince our family of that, but we’re sure they will grow to love it! Why go with the typical names like Jack, Jacob or Ryan! Good names, but Boston is a GREAT name! We want our son to be unique!

    Our 2 year old son is named Boston. We are from Australia with no connection to the city of Boston. But we thought it a strong boys name, that was unique without being crazy. We have had good responses from all about his name.

    I am another proud mother of an awesome little guy named Boston! Called ‘Boss’ or adoringly “Bossy”, he lives up to his Bruins reputation for being tough and not putting up with any crap! We’ve had a lot of compliments on the name, and a few raised eyebrows by some blue hairs, but overall the name has had positive reviews! We love it and think he suits his name well!

    BE PROUD, BOSTON’s!!!
