I was wondering if you could do a poll on the boy’s name Tucker. While I know it obviously rhymes with, um, that word, I know my mind didn’t go there. Or if it did, it was more like a quick visit than a long stay. Meanwhile, other people I’ve mentioned the name to immediately say “it’s cute, but it rhymes with *ucker.” What are your thoughts? Is a boy named Tucker doomed to endless taunting of “Tucker the *ucker”?<\/p>\n
Thanks!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Good question! I’ve wondered this myself. Not only about The Word, but also about the less-severe word “sucker.” Let’s have a poll, over to the right. [Poll closed; see results below.]<\/p>\n

Name update! Hi again! I wrote you a while ago, regarding whether or not the name Tucker had too many rhyming issues. We ended up having a baby boy and named him Tucker Jack. At the end of the day, we loved the name and cared less about the potential bad rhyme situation. We’ve gotten great feedback and nobody has brought it up (well, at least not to our faces).<\/p>\n Here is is (at 3 months)!
