Camden

What are your thoughts on Camden? I can't decide if I like this or not...  If we have a boy this time the middle name would be Steven or Robert. 

 

Thanks!

It's not bad but my first thought goes to Camden, NJ (supposedly one of the most dangerous cities in the state).

I think Camden is cute. I definitely prefer it with mn Robert over Steven. I'm not a fan of the fn and mn having the same -en ending sound.

It's become quite trendy and used by several celebrities, I don't see the appeal and even though I live in western Canada I still think of Camden NJ.

Yeah, I think of the city too, but that might not be such a big deal in Texas.

I'm not a huge fan of baby names inspired by place-names.

Why not Cameron?

I like it. It doesn't make me think of the city even though I'm aware of it.

Although I prefer the name Steven to Robert, I don't like the fn and mn having the same ending sound.

I know this board doesn't care for it but I actually like it - I live on the West Coast so have no association with the City in NJ, maybe that's why it doesn't bother me.  DH likes it too.

I like it - I wouldn't associate it with Camden, NJ because I'm not familiar with that city.  I actually think of a couple "celebrities" (Nick Lachey & Kristen Cavalleri) who named their sons that.  

 *Yes I know more useless information than geography :)

Camden NJ may suck but Camden ME is beautiful. I think it's cute, just very popular.

I like it.  Then again, I'm in FL so I don't have the association of the city like some might.

Camden, NJ is a really bad city and it has a reputation for being so, always on those "worst cities in america" lists. They set a record for murders this year. I live about 45 minutes away from there so I wouldn't touch the name with a 10 foot pole, but if you live no where near NJ and its not a common association where you are, its not a terrible name I guess.

Haha this was my first thought, although I might have been thinking more scary than shitty.

Being from NJ originally, I could never use this!
