Comments for the name Nash

The poet Ogden Nash bore this as a surname.

I think this name is gorgeous! It's not too feminine or frilly for a boy, and it isn't too cute for a grown man. I would name my son Nash!

I don't dislike, but it reminds me of Nashi pears too much.

"Nash Bridges" was a T.V. show starring Don Johnson.

Nash Rambler is also a car.

The only boy with this name I know gets called Nash Potatoes.

Good name for a dog! I just think of Gnasher the dog out of Dennis the Menace cartoons. Why would you call your child after an action you do with your teeth?

In the video game known as 'Lunar: the Silver Story' there was a character named Nash. He was pretty cool. Noble and gentle. From what I remember I think he had a thing for another character named Mia. Anyway I think of that video game when I hear the name Nash.

Surname of basketball star/MVP Steve Nash.

Nash reminds me of a baked potato, no offense.

This is the surname of British singer Kate Nash.

Rubbish. Sounds like a hillbilly name, and the sound isn't all that pleasant. I don't know why, but it sounds kind of. Itchy.

Leigh Nash was the lead singer of Sixpence None the Richer.

Nash Latkje is quite possibly the greatest character in the Genso Suikoden video game series. And there's 108 characters for five games, so he's the greatest character out of . . . 540 characters? The games are loosely based on the Chinese novel "The Water Margin".

I don't know if this counts but there's Graham Nash of Crosby, Stills, and Nash.

My son is Nash. I LOVE this name (obviously). I named him for John Forbes Nash (of "A Beautiful Mind" fame), mostly because I am a math nut, and I believe the man was a total genius. I also happen to love Crosby, Stills, and Nash, so I am a fan of the musical connection as well.
Everyone we meet seems to love it. It is easy to say and spell. It has that familiarity without being so, so common (Jacob, John, Matt, etc).
The only two downsides we have found so far are the Nash Potatoes comment (his 5 yo cousin came up with it first), and his name and initials are (phonetically) both synonyms for chewing: Nash and NAW (surprisingly, he was more than a year old when this occurred to me, funny moment).

The waitress who is infamously and gruesomely killed in "The Hitcher".

Iron Chef Cat Cora has a child named Nash.

Most of the boys called Nash that I know were named after Nashville in Tennessee, in honour of it being a famous centre for country music.
