Thatcher

I'm in the US with a child named Thatcher and haven't run into much association with the old PM. I don't like the association, but I still love the name.

I was going to name my son Fletcher and switched to Thatcher at the last minute because I like the meaning of one who builds shelter better than one who makes weapons. He's in school now and I still love the name.

Cool if you think of quaint roofing, but awful if you think of Margaret Thatcher.

I love it. Gives me the same vibes of Fletcher

I'm in the USA and can't help but think about Margaret hearing it -- Maybe it's just the younger generation who were born after she was prime minister whose feelings about the name are independent from the ties to the former PM.

I kind of like this name for a girl. Probably because it makes me think of Becky Thatcher and Margaret Thatcher.

People in USA seem to love this, but here in the UK, this name is strongly associated with Margaret Thatcher. Enough said - not a great idea to call your kid Thatcher in this country, that's all.

I love this name and Margaret Thatcher. Wouldn't hesitate for a second on using this name especially living in the U.S.

Yes! I wouldn't want to be reminded of Margaret Thatcher either

With the nn 'Thatch'!

Margaret Thatcher was an incredibly controversial person so I would be very hesitant to use this name, even though, personally, I think she was pretty good.

I like the sound Thatcher has but I could never use this name. I wouldn't want my son associated with Margaret Thatcher at all.
