Baby Name of the Week: Cash

on November 21, 2009 at 7:00 AM

When one of my friends was deciding on names, she knew if the baby was a girl she would have a nature-inspired name, but if it was a boy he would be named after a musician.

She ended up having a girl and named her Summer. But Cash, after Johnny Cash, was the front-runner if she had a boy.

I wanted to "steal" the name for my boy, but my husband had other ideas.

Cash feels like an outlaw cowboy name to me -- I love it. But I do think of the Walk the Line singer and not about cash money.

Feels like a strong name, very masculine.

Jessica Alba's man's name is Cash Warren.

What do you think of the name Cash for a boy?

About the author Michele Zipp

loves vintage and will defend skinny jeans to the death though she is highly superstitious and "death" is probably a bad word choice. She has a touch of the hoarding disease and enjoys sleuthing, the worst reality shows, and wearing high heels, even at the playground. She's an AP mom of twins, slightly crunchy but with a pedicure.

at first I think of money always when i hear this name. I do understand your reasoning of thinking it is a strong name. If you love it go with it!
