It wouldn't put me off if I loved the name. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wdty-of-the-name#post-2089953 Sun, 01 Mar 2015 06:17:57 +0000 Charm54 2089953@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>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. </p> <p>Also, kids today have never even heard of Dawson's Creek so his peers wouldn't make the connection </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wdty-of-the-name#post-2089928 Sun, 01 Mar 2015 01:39:03 +0000 Mrs.Pinecone316 2089928@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I will always associate it with Dawson's creek because that is the only time I have ever heard it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wdty-of-the-name#post-2089159 Fri, 27 Feb 2015 20:40:00 +0000 fairy 2089159@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I do think of Dawson's creek! But it isn't a bad name :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wdty-of-the-name#post-2088941 Fri, 27 Feb 2015 16:55:01 +0000 wrkbrk 2088941@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@stiletto_mom: love it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wdty-of-the-name#post-2088934 Fri, 27 Feb 2015 16:49:09 +0000 ChiCalGoBee 2088934@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@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 :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wdty-of-the-name#post-2088925 Fri, 27 Feb 2015 16:41:54 +0000 stiletto_mom 2088925@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Lemon-Lime: Sorry, it didn't paste over.

Yes it was a show, but it's been off the air for what 12 years at least? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wdty-of-the-name#post-2088915 Fri, 27 Feb 2015 16:36:11 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 2088915@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I missing something, what is the name? I see a pronunciation cue, but not the name. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wdty-of-the-name#post-2088873 Fri, 27 Feb 2015 16:09:44 +0000 hellobeeboston 2088873@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yeah. I think of Dawson's Creek. But that show is getting old. </p> <p>I worked with a dude named Lawson, thought that was pretty cool. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wdty-of-the-name#post-2088851 Fri, 27 Feb 2015 15:59:45 +0000 stiletto_mom 2088851@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mae: Ya, this was the image I was hoping to not trigger in people LOL </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wdty-of-the-name#post-2088808 Fri, 27 Feb 2015 15:32:38 +0000 lamariniere 2088808@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>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. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wdty-of-the-name#post-2088804 Fri, 27 Feb 2015 15:30:39 +0000 littlejoy 2088804@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@stiletto_mom: Meh, I don't think of the show (until I saw that photo, haha). </p> <p>I like it. - I think it could work for a girl or boy.</p> <p>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. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wdty-of-the-name#post-2088772 Fri, 27 Feb 2015 15:10:02 +0000 oliviaoblivia 2088772@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mae: lol!</p> <p>Dawson's creek for me too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wdty-of-the-name#post-2088770 Fri, 27 Feb 2015 15:09:48 +0000 raspberries 2088770@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>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! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wdty-of-the-name#post-2088766 Fri, 27 Feb 2015 15:08:27 +0000 Mae 2088766@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>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 </p> [attach=4140/15/nkg5a3.600x336.Screen-Shot-2015-02-27-at-3.08.01-PM.png] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wdty-of-the-name#post-2088763 Fri, 27 Feb 2015 15:06:30 +0000 Foodnerd81 2088763@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>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. </p> <p>Mostly I think of a guy i knew who went by Dawson (last name but that's what everyone called him). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wdty-of-the-name#post-2088753 Fri, 27 Feb 2015 15:02:04 +0000 stiletto_mom 2088753@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Dawson</p> <p>GENDER: Masculine<br /> USAGE: English<br /> PRONOUNCED: DAW-sən<br /> Meaning &amp; History: From a surname meaning "son of DAVID". </p> <p>Do you think "Dawson's Creek" has ruined this name? I still like it for boy or girl actually. </p>
