Comments for the name Palmer

This is used as a boys name, but I would use it for a girl.

Very sorry, but I cannot get over Palm Olive connotations.

I can't easily imagine this as a first name. It sounds a bit pretentious in that position. It would be more natural as a middle name.

This is the last name of Jimmy Palmer (played by Brian Dietzen) on NCIS.

My husband's grandfather is named Palmer. I had never heard of it before meeting him. He is a very caring guy. Everyone that I tell about his name thinks that it is a really cool name.

Palmer Courtland is a famous character from All My Children.

My husband's name is Palmer. No one he meets ever forgets his name because it is so unique. The name has been passed down for 400 years in his family so we decided to continue the tradition and name our son Palmer. People who meet him love his name and really feel like it fits him.

I actually love it for a girl. I have a friend named Palmer, and it really suits her. It's not as bad as it sounds, really.

Unless it is a family-tradition, I truly feel that "Palmer" be best left as a surname.

I find it undeniably unprofessional, to be honest; it lacks the luster and shine a forename should be in possession of. While I can moderately accept and keep quiet my distaste for it on a male, I find it absolutely hideous as a feminine name.

I fear the day that some poor soul with a surname of "Coast" is dubbed this.
