“Anchor baby” is a derogatory term for a baby born in the US to immigrant parents. That was my first thought after the obvious noun association.

No. I hate it.

Outdoorsy names: Aspen, August, Rowen, Sawyer, Asher, Wren, Forrest, Everett

I’m a no for Anchor but that is just me.  It does not appeal to me at all for a child’s name.  And I agree wtih glitterati about the derogatory term. If you like outdoor style names, maybe consider Forest, Sky, River or Fisher, just to name a few.

“Anchors Away” poped into my head right away… Is this a Navy reference? Or sailing??

I prefer Tree. But if you’re wedded to anchor the what about Ron Burgundy instead?

Are you going for a more nautical vibe? What about Finn (like a fish’s Finn) or Jack (like Captain Jack Sparrow)?

I am not feeling Anchor at all. Perhaps with a different spelling so it’s not obviously a word-turned-made-up-name.

For more nature-y names, I could almostaglm on board with Arbor, Birch, Ash, or Phoenix?

Not going to lie. Anchor as a name is pretty terrible.

momma2be99 :  Darling Husband and I are both Navy vets so maybe that affects my answer but I hate this name. I’m not a fan of assigning inanimate objects to a person. Also, like PP said, anchor baby is a slur of sorts.

As far as suggestions go Archer, Easton and Flynn immediately came to mind when you said outdoor names.

I like Archer or Achor/Acre for outdoorsy names. There are tons out there but those come to mind first 🙂

I think you would be setting your child up for a lifetime and bullying and misery. Anchor is not a name.

momma2be99 :  An anchor is something that weighs you down, keeps you from moving or getting anywhere. Not a sentiment I would want to base my child’s identity on.

When I think of outdoor names  I think Hunter, Ryder, Austin, Sawyer. Anchor is too out there for me.
