Gavin
- I've had a crush on Gavin Rossdale from the band Bush since I was about 13 years old and I've always loved the name. no real reason, I just like the background to it and I think it is a good name.
- though it will always bring to mind one of my good friends, brilliant but horrible at athletics, Gavin is a pretty cool name. It's got a strong meaning, and a strong heritage.
- This is my future son's name. He will most likely be Gavin Alastair. The name is Scottish and means "white hawk." Forms of this name appear throughout Arthurian legend: Gawain, Gwalchmei, etc.
- Love it because it's so versatile with other names, and because it's underused.
- Kinda wussy...but that's because one of my best guy friends is named Gavin, and he's a genius...but not too good in the athletics.
- this name means "white hawk". it's a European name that you can still here over there. I like how it sounds so foreign, yet it's not hard to pronounce.
- so unique and not girlish at all, cute and manly too.
- SEXY!! Sounds tough and gental. sounds like a vixen in bed. OH YEAH!!
- More unusual than Kevin or Evan, but it has that great sound.
- Another I just like, not sure why. I'm not really as attached to boy's names as girls.
- It means white hawk. I like nature names. Names that means flowers or animals.
- Gavin Nigel David Robin: I am a huge Bush fan so I have chosen to name my second born son Gavin Nigel David Robin.
- Gavin Wright: I LOVE the name Gavin, it's such a strong name, and still pretty unusual. It's meaning "white hawk" fits my incredibly active son so well...It brings to mind a strong minded boy, with a strong personality to boot. (Wright is a family name)
This is a Scottish form of Gawaine, one of King Arthur's knights of the round table. The name is of uncertain origin--it first appears as Gauviain in French versions of the Arthurian tales. It is possible that it stems from the Welsh Gwalch, meaning "hawk; falcon" plus a word meaning "little; white."
