Comments for the name Cash

Comments for CASH:

In the U.S., people refer to Cash as money. So if you live in the U.S., you might want to think twice about naming your kid this.

Many people would think of money when they heard this name. I think it might make a good nickname for something, but I don't like it on its own.

Johnny Cash, in his autobiography "Cash," says that his surname was changed from the Scottish "Caesche," and they were descended from Queen Ada, sister of Malcolm IV, whose ancestor was King Duff, the first king of Scotland.

Tacky and guaranteed to lead to bad puns and a credibility problem.

This name has connotations of money. For a while, I worked with someone named this and when I was told his name, I was confused. It makes me imagine a boy named this could grow up to marry a girl named Carrie and then people would call them Cash and Carrie. This is a bad name.

Cash Colligan, bassist for Las Vegas based pop/rock band The Cab is a semi-famous barer of this name.

This is a bad name. It is like naming your kid Money.

Cash Warren is the actor married to actress Jessica Alba, who recently had a baby named Honor Marie.
I don't like the name Cash at all. You might as well name your daughter Penny as well and have done with it.

Cash is the name of Saul Hudson("Slash")'s first son.

"Hi, these are my sons Cash and Dollar, and my daughter Penny."

Many people call money Cash, so think twice before naming a child this. It's a nice name though.

Cash is a dumb name that will lead to a lot of teasing, and it's unfortunately the name of the husband of the annoying Jessica Alba.

Oh my God, I can't believe that this is a name!

Yes, you might as well name his sisters "Penny", "Lolly" and "Moolah" and their brother "Dollar" and be done with that. Who is going to take a man (or a boy) named "Cash" seriously?

I can just hear someone say to his parents, "Make sure that nobody takes your Cash!"

Cash isn't any better than Penn and there's a Penn Badgley but nobody is commenting on how stupid his name is. I think Cash is a classy, cool name, and if I knew a guy named Cash I would totally tell him how cool he was to have this name.

Well, Penny's my short name (or nickname, if you will), and I think it mere coincidence that it's the same word as the smallest unit of currency in the UK and some other anglophone countries. But Cash as a name? Sorry, that just doesn't cut it. Maybe it might work as a nickname.

This is the male equivalent of a stripper name.
