Comments for the name Echo

My niece is named Echo Dawn. I didn't like this name at first but now I think it has grown on me.

This is the name of a type of car from Toyota. I think Echo sounds strange for a name because it's a sound, so I wouldn't advise naming a child this.

If someone can name their child "Melody", I suppose Echo isn't too far off.

I really like this name, but it's just begging to be teased. Can you imagine? "ECHO...ECho...Echo...echo..."

My friend wanted to name her daughter Echo Forest. I peronsally hate both names and I don't know how someone could subject their child to that much embarrassment.

Personally, I love the name Echo. It's unique and I only know one! My best friend is named this and often got teased by it, but overall I think it is a beautiful name.

Can also be spelt Ekko and Ecko, I've seen Ecco as well but that one just bothered me for some reason. To me it looks like it should be the name of an electrical company.

My friend thinks this name sounds like a dolphin, but I think it's a good name. It's the name of one of the characters in our stories, who goes by the nickname Radar.

There's a book entitled "Echo" (in which the main character was named Echo) which completely ruined this name for me. I hated the book and the character.

My teacher's name was Echo, and she always kept repeating what she just said. I think her name matches her perfectly.

I think this is a very neat name, though I don't think I'd name anyone but a character this. I do like it a lot, though; it's unusual and beautiful.

I think it's really unique, though people can sure crack really funny jokes about it: Hi Echo, Hi Echo, Hi Echo, Hi Echo, Hi Echo ...

I like this name, and the jokes about it are old and overused. I think it sounds like a sad name. Like someone shy. It's pretty though.

I love the name Echo. I actually think the meaning is kinda cool, too, though it's a bit of a sad story. I think Echo is a great name for a girl. I heard a radio DJ say she had a friend named Echo Serena, whose brother's name was Justice! Cool names. Ah, Echo, so lovely.

This should be a name for boys, and only boys!

If you must name your son Echo, just make sure you start sending him to self-defense classes at the Y as soon as he can walk!

I agree with the person above me when they say a boy by this name would have to go to self-defense class. Echo was a girl in mythology, and the name will always be a girl. Sorry to the person above, above.

There's a Pink Floyd song called "Echoes". When I think of it, I mostly think of it as the longest song I know of (as it is 23 minutes long).

I think it's a pretty name. It makes me think of the Pink Floyd song Echoes. I wouldn't use this name for a boy, because the mythological character Echo was female, and that the more "poetic" names (like Echo) are typically used for girls. I know that there are lots of ways to tease someone with a name like Echo, so I wouldn't give this name to my child. But a character in a story, most definitely.

The name would sound very peculiar in at least English and German, and would surely lead to a few jokes on a regular basis.

I think the name is beautiful, but Echo's story is just so sad that I could not name my daughter this. Hera cursed her with the affliction only because Echo was happily chatting with another nymph while the angry Goddess was looking for the always adulterous Zeus, and her love was viciously rebuffed by Narcissus. I see someone with this name as being small, shy, and with perpetual sadness in their eyes.

I think Echo is pretty, but it automatically makes me think of Dolphins. Oh, and science class last year.

It's an elegant name, and sounds like a feminine whisper.

I love this name on a boy only. As to those who say it's just a girl's name only because of some mythological person, it's a part of sound hitting off of high places so it can be a boy's name as well.

I have to agree with the Greek mythology people. I only see it as a girl's name. I think it would be kinda cool to be named Echo because it is so different, but at the same time, probably better as a nickname or something.

This is a very pretty name, even if it is a common word. I don't imagine anyone named this would really get made fun of THAT much. Not so much that'd it'd take away from it being a nice name at least.

In Chuck Palahniuk's novel Rant, Echo Lawrence gives the impression of a strong, determined girl that can hang with the guys, but has a sensitive center that people don't really see unless they're close to her.

Echo is the name of Eliza Dushku's character in the new television series "Dollhouse".

"Echo" is also the code word for the letter "E" in the NATO phonetic alphabet.

Echo is a book by Francesa Lia Block.

Along with Easter, this has been one of my favorite feminine names for the longest. I even used to have a series of picture books about twins I named Easter and Echo. If I do use it, though, I think I'd end up using it in the middle slot instead of the frontal position.

Believe it or not, I know someone with this name. She isn't teased at all, and Echo gets many compliments on her name.

Sounds corny as a name. Maybe on a dolphin it would work, but not on a person!

I don't get why people don't like this name. It's lovely. I much rather be named "Echo" than a made up name like "Keisha" or "Jalen."

Echo is a teen mom name and an embarrassment to the child who bears it, it isn't even a pretty word.

Eh, I like the sound but it would be unfortunate to bear in real life, I think. It will DEFINITELY invite raised eyebrows, for sure. Just please don't spell it Ecko, because then people will assume you named her after Ecko unld., the clothing and shoe company.

This is one of those "not good as first name, totally cool as middle name" names. It's very pretty and undoubtedly feminine, but with the great teasing potential I would prefer not to give this to my daughter as a first name. That being said, I would absolutely love to give it to her as a middle name.

Hey, my name is Echo! And I get compliments all the time:) Of course I get the occasional Echo.. Echo.. Echo.. But honestly it doesn't really get to me. I usually just fire back with "REAL ORIGINAL, REAL ORIGINAL.";)
Having a unique weird name builds character. I'm definitely one in million. And wouldn't have it any other way. Thanks Mom.

Unique idea.... BUT REALLY, I want my children to be a voice in the world, not an echo of the crowd, but original influence people. Echo is a name that declares a boring fate. Unless you name someone Echo Heaven or something, which could be cool as in that person would echo the heartbeat of God on earth.
