Boy name: Van

sweettater

What do you think of when you hear a boy named Van? Do you know any?

I really like V names, my daughter's name is Vera. I think Van is unique, and I'm a car person so I don't mind the association to vehicle vans (lol)

I have a 3 year old nephew named Van. At first I didn’t like it but now I think it’s cute and suits him very well. Also there is an older man in the area with that name. I don’t think of the vehicle, more of the name Dan with a V.

It’s 100% an actual unique name. Like sometimes people say they want something unique and then they say they’re going to need their daughter James. This is a truley unique old fashion name that has a very cool

Vibe!!

@greens278,

Also not in 1 million years do I personally think of a vehicle because I associate the name with the always amazing Van Morrison :-)

I always thought Van was a cool name. I've only known two and they're older.

I’ve known one Van who is Vietnamese but I’m not sure if it’s a common Vietnamese name. I like it! Easy but a little different. Definitely a little edgy.
