On my third iteration of potentials now for dc2, will find out the sex when they arrive. I am NOT GOOD at settling on names!

What do you think of Cameron? Is it becoming super common? What nicknames would they get apart from Cam/Cammy?

I know a couple of Cameron's, but don't think it's a massively common name. I like it. Think they would get Cam, Cammy sounds a bit girly and like Tammy.

I think it's quite a nice name. But I imagine people will think you're a Tory.

I have one. Not sure how common it is now, mine is in his 20s. No one has ever mentioned the Tories or David Cameron. It's a lovely name, IMHO.

I'd not even thought of the David Cameron association... May is out for a girl then too

My little brother (aged 15) is a Cameron. He doesn't get it shortened. It's quite a common name in Scotland for his age group - think it was most popular name in 2001, or something.

I do really like it and we had it on our list (it would have honoured a family member) until David Cameron came on the scene and it really spoilt it for us.

If you don't mind that association then use it.

Yes it is the Scottish connection that I like, we are unfortunately unlikely to live there though so common in Scotland not a problem. I think there were two in my school year (a while ago now!) so I guess it has become more popular since I left.

I think of David Cameron too (which puts me off). But as the years go by this won't occur to people as much.
