Do you think "Dawson's Creek" has ruined this name? I still like it for boy or girl actually.

I do think of Dawson's creek but that doesn't ruin it for me. I like it for a boy. Not so much for a girl.
Mostly I think of a guy i knew who went by Dawson (last name but that's what everyone called him).
-
not really a fan. I've never heard it other than Dawson's creek and when I think of that show all I can think of is this.... lol
-
I grew up next to a town called Dawson, which is why that name would be out for me. Overall though, I don't think it's a bad one - although I'd err on the side of it being a boy name!
-
@Mae: lol!
Dawson's creek for me too.
-
@stiletto_mom: Meh, I don't think of the show (until I saw that photo, haha).
I like it. - I think it could work for a girl or boy.
I'm named after a character on a 70's soap opera, and no-one ever mentions it (my name is really unusual), so I think it was pop-culture related then, but now no one makes the connection.
-
I've never seen the show and have no idea what it is about, but the name has always sounded more like a last name to me.
-
@Mae: Ya, this was the image I was hoping to not trigger in people LOL
-
Yeah. I think of Dawson's Creek. But that show is getting old.
I worked with a dude named Lawson, thought that was pretty cool.
-
I missing something, what is the name? I see a pronunciation cue, but not the name.
-
I like the name, I used to babysit a boy Dawson. Yes it was a show, but it's been off the air for what 12 years at least?

@Mrs. Lemon-Lime: Sorry, it didn't paste over. Edited now! I wasn't you!

@stiletto_mom: A friend of mine has a nephew named Chandler. She claims her sister thinks that her son will never have to deal with the Friends reference because he's so much younger...and I think she's wrong! I find Dawson to be similar....I immediately think "Creek" when I hear that name! However I do like the name! For what it's worth, I LOVE the name Dexter and would have used it.....were it not for Dexter Morgan, TV serial killer
-
@stiletto_mom: love it!
-
I do think of Dawson's creek! But it isn't a bad name
-
I will always associate it with Dawson's creek because that is the only time I have ever heard it.
-
I loved Dawson's Creek but I don't associate it with the show. I teach a Dawson and he's a great kid so maybe that's why I associate it with him instead. It's NMS but I like it well enough.
Also, kids today have never even heard of Dawson's Creek so his peers wouldn't make the connection
-
I used to love DC so it really just makes me think of that, but @Charm54: is right--there's only going to be a small range of people that grew up with the show so it'll probably be fine. It wouldn't put me off if I loved the name.
