I can't quite picture "Fitz" across the top of a resume, but something like Fitzgerald or Fitzpatrick would grow well. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-name-fitz#post-1543383 Thu, 03 Apr 2014 14:44:49 +0000 ShootingStar 1543383@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@looch: That's what "Mac" means too. </p> <p>I don't really like it. I've only ever heard it as a nickname with someone whose last name starts with it. And I think the names that start with it (Fitzgerald, Fitzgibbons, etc) are all too last name-y. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-name-fitz#post-1543342 Thu, 03 Apr 2014 14:33:27 +0000 loveisstrange 1543342@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My brother had a pet rat named Fitz... so I sort of associate it with being a "pet" name. :/ </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-name-fitz#post-1543331 Thu, 03 Apr 2014 14:30:00 +0000 swurlygurl 1543331@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LuLu Mom: Haha, me too! And now he's creeping me out, so it makes me not love the name.</p> <p>I think it could be a cute name - and possibly transfer well into an adult name. In 20 years his generation won't know about PLL and Scandal :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-name-fitz#post-1543315 Thu, 03 Apr 2014 14:27:09 +0000 looch 1543315@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I learned it means "son of," so, Fitzpatrick was once the son of Patrick.</p> <p>I wouldn't use it unless there was a family connection, especially shortened. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-name-fitz#post-1543274 Thu, 03 Apr 2014 14:21:06 +0000 Mommy Finger 1543274@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>As a nickname, I like it.

DH's family is big on juniors, and we like it as a less literal nod to DH (since Fitz means "son of" and the second half is DH's name). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-name-fitz#post-1542906 Thu, 03 Apr 2014 13:03:39 +0000 shopaholic 1542906@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think it's so cute! But I like the whole name, Fitzgerald. I don't really like "Fitzy" as a nn though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-name-fitz#post-1542901 Thu, 03 Apr 2014 13:03:05 +0000 irene 1542901@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I also thought of Scandal immediately ! But if you really like it, chances are Scandal won't be around anymore in a few years? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-name-fitz#post-1542898 Thu, 03 Apr 2014 13:01:48 +0000 deerylou 1542898@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't dislike it. However, for me personally, it falls into the "totally cute for a kid, but can't imagine it on a resume" zone. I had a lot of trouble with this when we were naming DD, as there were several names I loved that fell into this category. I think Fitzgerald is nice for an adult, but I understand if you don't dig it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-name-fitz#post-1542884 Thu, 03 Apr 2014 12:58:23 +0000 JerricaBenton 1542884@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't dislike it, but I would just think it was a nickname for someone with the last name Fitzgerald. Those are the only people I've ever heard of being called Fitz. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-name-fitz#post-1542872 Thu, 03 Apr 2014 12:56:03 +0000 autumnlove 1542872@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It just reminds me of Scandal and Carl from Ghost! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-name-fitz#post-1542839 Thu, 03 Apr 2014 12:46:50 +0000 Mrs.Someone 1542839@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sorry, not a fan!

I never really thought of it as a name. But I like how it's not common. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-name-fitz#post-1542804 Thu, 03 Apr 2014 12:38:25 +0000 polkadots 1542804@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@knittylady: ha I've been google searching it and everything popping up is scandal! </p>
