Comments for COMFORT:
What a horrible name. Never name your child this.-- swisssugar 10/25/2006
"Comfort" makes me think of the "comfort women", the numerous Western Pacific women who were kidnapped and forced into prostitution by the Japanese during World War II. This association is not a good thing for a girl or woman.-- gaelruadh19 12/28/2006
Pearl S. Buck was born Pearl Comfort Sydenstricker. It makes a better middle name.-- A.R. 4/3/2007
Terrible name. I met a girl named Comfort in my Food & Nutrition class. I don't know why anyone would name their child this.-- dreadfulxsorry 7/7/2007
What an awful name! Comfort isn't even a name! It's a word. Use that if you say something like, "I need some comfort." Or anything else! NOT A NAME!-- 80226_hottie 9/14/2007
Comfort was a fairly ordinary name in England pre-1900s, along with all the other 'virtue' names like Faith and Mercy. It seems to have been quite popular in Jamaica more recently: I've met several Jamaican Comforts.-- Pie 10/22/2007
Some words sound fine as names, like "Joy" and "Grace", but I don't really think this is one of them.-- scarletquillraven 1/23/2008
Reminds me of sex and prostitution, and I don't usually have a dirty mind. Besides that, I don't like the "fort" ending, sounds kind of masculine.-- joli_dans_titre1 1/25/2008
I would name my daughter Nevaeh, Grace, or Isabella (the names I hate the most in the world) before I name my daughter Comfort.-- jasmineenimsaj 2/22/2008
Eep, Comfort stations and ''Comfort women'' do come to mind. The poor girl would get jokes. A lot. For a long time, like, say, for her entire life, until she kills herself at 15. This isn't a name, it's a state of mind and something people do to make others feel better.-- slight night shiver 5/19/2008
Comfort is the name of one on the top 20 girls on Season 4 of So You Think You Can Dance.-- akaZsa 6/7/2008
It's just a name and a very pretty one at that. It would work as a cute middle name too.-- Anonymous User 7/9/2008
This is not a name, it's a word!-- Anonymous User 1/10/2009
What the heck? What kind of a name is this?!? Why, why, why would someone please tell me why you would name your child "Comfort". Soon words like sanitary and solitude and maybe even microwave will become names! Like, wow.-- Anonymous User 5/15/2009
One of the weirdest names ever. And the most horrible names as well. I wouldn't even call a fictional character in a short story Comfort!-- yael5012_y 6/14/2009
Comfort is a word, and not good as a name.
Even if it wasn't a word, it would still be a terrible name. The end-- 'Fort' doesn't sound good, in my opinion.-- -Julia- 7/23/2009
My 5th-and-6th grade teacher's first name is Comfort. She's an African-American. I personally don't really like the name.-- jonathan0012 10/17/2009
Ugh, I've read a book with a main character called "Comfort Snowberger." Both the first and last name is terrible. If I can recall, Comfort had a dog named "Dismay" and a friend named "Declaration." The story was good, the names were of poor choice.-- secretsofadarkangel 4/1/2010
I don't like it as a word, let alone a name.-- Black_X 5/10/2010
Comfort is not a name. For some odd reason, Comfort is a name in the same vein as Honor - a name that sounds like it is used by sexist parents. The association with "Comfort women" during WWII is even more horrible. I pity whoever has this as a name.-- bananarama 6/15/2010
I do not like this name, but I'd like to set something straight: this name is a word in the sense that the name "Violet" is a word. All names are words.-- Anonymous User 9/15/2010
Comfort does NOT sound like a name! It is a pretty name it just doesn't sound like it. If I liked the name Comfort I would see what the name sounds like in other languages:)-- -BekahBoo 10/21/2010
Well, once you get past the usual 'it's a word so you can't use it!', it's actually a cute name. Nice mix of consonants.
On the other hand, I saw the name and kind of snickered on the inside. Mostly because I do enjoy my sex jokes >.>. And then I read the other comments here and noticed the "comfort women" association (by damn, I'm Chinese, shouldn't that've come to me sooner?) and my inner self abruptly stopped smiling. Either way, I'd suggest not using this name.-- Diest 1/5/2011
I'd like to second the things already said, especially "comfort women," & mention that the only nickname or pet name you can get out of it (besides completely incomprehensible "Com" & "Fort") is "Comfy," which is truly ridiculous!-- greta-elisif 1/18/2011
I'm surprised by how much hatred this name elicits. Comfort is cute, sweet and homely.-- vomiting 2/7/2011
My boyfriend has this name. He's the only Comfort I've ever heard of, but his personality and integrity makes it an absolutely strong name. It's perfect for him and I love it.-- Anonymous User 6/20/2011
I think this is a company that makes detergent and fabric softener. You know, for clothes. It smells good, but probably not the first association you want.-- Anonymous User 8/6/2011
There is an episode of The Twilight Zone called "The Last Rites of Jeff Myrtlebank" in which there is a character named Comfort Gatewood.-- strange_names123 8/10/2011
I know there is a lot of hate for this name, but I think it's really cute!-- Liesl 4/18/2012
