Comments for BUCK:

According to "The Grasses" by Alma Chestnut Moore (MacMillan 1960, p. 77): "In Old English "buck" meant "beech". Hence the word "buckwheat", which is a grain that resembles a tiny beechnut.

Buck is such a dorky name, and it's also the name for a male deer. I've always thought the name was stupid until I met someone with this name, he's actually really cool, too bad his parents screwed up on the name.

Sounds like a name for a dumb hillbilly. A man with this as his actual name might have to work very hard to convince people that he is intelligent and competent despite his name.

Buck is used as a nickname for the dead son, Jordan Jarret, in Ordinary People by Judith Guest. I really don't know how Buck is short for Jordan though. However, I agree with Slight Night Shiver, it really does sound like a hillbilly name. If you are insistent on calling your son Buck, I would recommend just using it as a nickname. It's so tacky and unprofessional sounding.

Buck is the name of John Candy's character in the 1980's movie "Uncle Buck" (a personal favorite). :) I always picture on someone like him.
