User Comments about the name Parker


Comment left Aug 14, 2008: "Parker has been our number one boy name for a long time, but we don't have a boy yet. On the next baby, I think we're going to use it whether we have a boy or a girl. It's perfect for either!" (Report as inappropriate)

Comment left Jan 28, 2008: "I know this name has become fairly popular, but my son is named Parker and he is the only one we know of so far. It depends on where you live, but I couldn't think of a better name for him. I think Parker is a very distinguished name for a young man, with still some edge (not being too traditional). Even now I am thankful that I chose such a perfect name for him and he loves it." (Report as inappropriate)
