I didn't like it at first because I related it to older people, but since I've had a boyfriend with this name, it has proven to me that Raymonds are gentle giants with a heart of gold.
This is my last name and I hate it because every time someone finds out my name they always go "everyone loves Raymond". And also I hate this name because it is French, not that I don't like the French but my first name is Danielle which is also French, my name is so French.

I like this name for a boy. It's like the sunlight, so warm and cheerful.
All the people I know called Raymond just go by Ray. I wouldn't say the name is overused to me. I've only seen two people with that name. It's a cool name, but I wouldn't call my son that.

Raymond is a great name, great meaning and it sounds handsome. I just might use this as a middle name or something.
Anybody I've ever met with the name Raymond doesn't like his name and just goes by Ray. I don't know why, but for some reason all the Raymonds out there don't like being Raymond. Everybody loves Raymond except Raymond.

It's my great-uncle's name too, and I don't see how you can say a name is "an old man's name". Old men were kids once, and besides, would you rather your son have a childish name like Brayden?
