Comments for the name Truman

Jim Carrey played a man named Truman in the movie "The Truman Show."

Famous bearer: American president Harry S. Truman.

Truman Capote was an America writer, known for the novel Breakfast at Tiffany's.

I don't like this as a first name. It sounds quite pretentious.

I have a pig named Truman. It's always seemed like a silly name to me that I only associate with my pig Truman and Truman Capote. As you can see, I wouldn't use it for my kid.

Truman Theodore Hanks (born 1995), son of actor Tom Hanks.

It almost sounds like "trumna" which means "coffin" in Polish. Spooky name!

The only bearer of this name I've met was a Saint Bernard. A dog. And now I can't help but think of dogs when I hear it. On a human, it sounds odd and pretentious, and I can't picture it on someone under thirty.
