Comments for the name Sheldon

Dorky and awkward sounding name. I love it.

Sheldon Souray is a defenceman in the NHL.

Sheldon Hawkes is a character on CSI:NY, played by Hill Harper.

I think this once-popular boy's name, peaking in the 1930s (262nd position in the American top 1,000), has definitely had its day. However, it wouldn't, once in a while, harm a little girl to have this name. It'd be better than having a boy named Sue (as in the 1968 song 'A Boy Named Sue' by Johnny Cash).

It seems like in every single cartoon, the nerdy character's name is Sheldon. I think a kid with this name would be teased, seeing its association is with nerdiness.

It sounds quite pretentious and a tad elitist, and the sound isn't very charming either.

On "Big Bang Theory" there is a character named Sheldon.

Our eldest boy's name is Sheldon, he is 16. Never been teased or taunted about his name ever. He loves his name because he is the only one he knows. Bad for when he's in trouble.

Good name for a goldfish. Hmm... I think I will name a goldfish this.

Dr. Sheldon Cooper of The Big Bang Theory fame (played by Jim Parsons). One lab accident away from being a super villain.

I grew up with a girl Sheldon, never knew a boy named this, I didn't even know it was a boys name for a long time and in TV shows when everyone laughed at the nerdy cartoon for his name I thought it was because he had a girl name. Sheldon never had a problem with her name but sometimes went by Shelly as a nickname.

Sheldon Brown, an American football player.

Haha I love this name for two reasons: 1. Sheldon Cooper from The Big Bang Theory; 2. It reminds me of turtles, and I love turtles. Sheldon is way better than Jayden, Deshawn etc. (there aren't as many kre8tiv names for boys so they're the only examples I can present at the moment). I think if I get a male turtle I'll name him Sheldon Cooper Franklin (Franklin is a cartoon turtle).

I also think it's hopelessly youthful, but in cute, good way, while also having opportunity to be mature. It's youthful and cute WITHOUT being overly modern (or modern at all, haha) or making the parents look like absolute fools. I love it.

Dr Sheldon Cooper is my favorite character on my favorite show, and his catchphrase "Bazinga!" is my username. The name Sheldon never would have occurred to me without popular culture, unlike other names that are popular at the moment, or I would know because they are known for being old people names. Without TBBT I probably not have ever heard of this name. I like it. It's cute without being trendy. Yippee!

Sheldon J. Plankton is a character on the beloved TV show Spongebob. He is commonly known as simply Plankton, but in one episode his embarrassing (to him) name was revealed.

I think a girl being named Sheldon is pretty neat. I am actually a girl with this name...hence my handle. It was always fun to surprise people when they expect a boy. It is very unique and I feel my name becomes me
