I liked this name when my 7 year old brother was a baby but now I hate it! He is so mean, as we speak he is throwing some big old hard thing at me and hitting me in the back. I like the masculine sound it has to it though!

Steve Austin was the "Six Million Dollar Man." He was played by Lee Majors.

I'm a girl, and this is my middle name. I really like it, because it's unique for my gender and it blends nicely with my first name.

A bit overused but otherwise okay.

Austin = Popular, cute, stuck-up, athletic, JERK. Sorry, I base my opinion on all the Austins I know. There are good ones out there though! Ok name though.

I agree with Miamya. she is so right. My best friend's name is Austin. He is athletic, brags a lot, and very full of himself.

Austin is the coolest name in the world.

To me, this is the epitome of a trendy, faddy name which will become quite dated.

I like this name for a boy. I know of 2 boys with this name one is 6 and the other is 3.

I can only think of the car when I hear it. And of Austin, Texas, although there are other places called Austin. (I think Steven Austin was the founder of Texas.)

Well, my son is named Austin Hunter and I love it. I named him after "Austin" on Days of Our Lives. The older Austin real name is Patrick Muldoon, he is such a cutie. Anyway, my son likes his name and there are not too many in his class which is what I was going for. : )

There are A LOT of Austins (and Austens) at our school. I think there are around 25, and that's only 3 grades in a 3A school.

I think this is an adorable name for a little boy, and it grows up well, too. I know one Austin, and he's a really funny, likable guy.

The name Austin can be dated back to the 19th century, and perhaps earlier than that. The 19th century poet Emily Dickinson had a brother named William Austin. He went by the name Austin though.

Intersting fact #2 - Texas has a big city named Austin. The city is considered to be pretty liberal politically and has been called "the blueberry in a raspberry field." The Raspberry field refers to Texas on a whole being conservative. Austin, Texas even has a sign that reads, "Keep Austin Weird."

My son's name is Austin. I love this name. It's very nice. No room for teasing here. I look out for that because I was a victim of teasing as a kid.

I really like this name. It's really cute.

Austin is not only the name of a city in Texas, it's the capital of Texas. This name is extremely overused, and I urge everyone to avoid it, even if you live in Texas. The same goes for Cody, Wyatt, Dallas, and Colt.

-- faye  1/24/2009

Way way way too overused. 39 Austins go to my school.

I reallyyyy like Austin. But my only problem is that it won't be so "oh-my-gosh-that-is-so-adorable" when he's fifty.

My little brother's name is Austin. There are a lot of Austins around our town, but he is the only one his age. I love this name. It sounds so sweet. :)

Never liked this name. I'm still hearing it on way too many boys under the age of ten, and once I even walked past some people who were having a conversation about how every time one of them called for Austin, ten little boys would turn around! When I hear this name, I think, "Ooh, over-trendy parents!" There's also the association (in New England at least) with the Austen Riggs psychiatric hospital in Stockbridge, Massachusetts.

I like it, but everyone else seems to like it as well. Now it's very boring and overused. I wouldn't use it.

-- bananarama  8/21/2009

I don't know why everyone is saying this name is overused. I've only met one Austin in my life. But I live in NYC, maybe it's more common in other places. Anyway, I like this name. But I don't think it ages very well. Imagine an eighty-year old man named Austin. It doesn't fit.
