Comments for the name Slade

Slade was a British rock band.

In the TV show 'Teen Titans', Slade is their enemy.

It sounds cool but it reminds me of the verb 'to slay'. Like "all the vampires have been slayed."

I believe the past tense of "slay" is "slain," not "slayed."

Cool name. On my list, definitely.

A famous bearer is actor Slade Pearce. He plays Sam on October Road.

Natalie Maines' son is Jackson Slade.

Kind of like Ryder, this name makes me picture a high school movie from 1985. In it, a guy named Slade is the coolest, most attractive, and most popular guy in school. However, if you fast forward 15 years, you see poor Slade working on a gas station or some crap like that. This name doesn't sound very serious or mature, and it sounds like a bit of a pseudonym to replace a nerdy name, kind of like an actor might go by Ryder instead of Clarence. Yes, I made that up, I've never heard of such a case.

It makes me think of "slay" meaning to kill. It also sounds like the name of an evil guy in a movie.

Makes me think of "slate."

Slade Echeverria, the lead singer and bassist of the band Anarbor.

Sounds to me like a combination of "sling" and "blade"--like the movie "Sling Blade." (Good movie, though.) But all in all, to me the name Slade implies violence. The only way I can see myself using it is for an evil character.

I have only recently heard the name Slade and I have fallen in love it. It sounds upscale, modern, mysterious, and if I have a son, his name will definitely be Slade.

Slade Smiley from 'The Real Housewives of Orange County' has this name. That makes it a no-go in my book.
