Parker Name Meaning

The name "Parker" holds a special significance and has an interesting meaning behind it.

It is derived from the Middle English word "park," which means an enclosed area for recreation or hunting.

Those with the name Parker are often associated with qualities such as being protective, responsible, and reliable. They have a natural inclination towards nurturing and caring for others, much like a park keeper would care for the well-being of a park.

In addition to its historical meaning, Parker has become increasingly popular as a given name in recent years. Its modern usage extends beyond gender boundaries, making it suitable for both boys and girls.

If you or someone you know bears the name Parker, embrace its meaningful origins and let it serve as a reminder of your innate qualities as a caretaker and protector.

Personality

Romance is the hallmark of the Six personality. Young leaves have nurturing, loving and caring energy. Six are enamored with the idea of ​​love in its idealized form - and with their magnetic personalities, they easily draw people to them. Like the number two of the personality, they seek balance and harmony in their life and the world in general. They are conscientious and service-oriented, and a defender of the weakest. These personalities naturally attract money and are usually surrounded by precious material objects - but their human relationships are always primary. They thrive on giving to others rather than being motivated by their desires. This is when they accomplish great things. Six are natural teachers, ministers, and counselors.

Popularity

Parker is a unisex name in America; although it is slightly more popular with boys than with girls (fathers are five times more likely to name their sons than their daughters). For boys, the name has been in use for over 150 years, but it wasn't until the 1990s that Parker caught on. Although not trendy yet, Parker managed to gain Top 100 status on the male naming charts in 2009, which he has been able to maintain to this day. For girls, the name only debuted in 1999, but it continues to show forward momentum. As Parker began to show promise for young children, some American parents decided to snatch the name away for their daughters. The use of unisex names for girls has been a continuing trend in America for the past twenty years, so expect to see Parker finally surpass the popularity of her male counterpart at some point in the not-too-distant future. Parker is also a great choice for jazz-loving babies and parents, in a nod to the great Charlie Parker (1920-1955).

I have always loved this on a girl. It's not terrible on a boy, but for some reason, it has a much perkier, preppier, sharper'sound for a girl. I imagine an upbeat, snobby, prep school girl named Parker. It's very similar to the vision I have of a girl named Blair. It's also uncommon, but not ugly, dowdy, or weird. A very fine choice for a girl if you ask me.

We named our son Parker Noah and its perfect for him! We get compliments on his name all the time. The only thing that bothe's me is when parents name their daughters with masculine names. If you look up Parker 98% of boys have this name, so please don't name your girl Parker. Besides, you'd never'see a boy named Alice or Amanda, why step all over boys names❤️

Super name for a girl ... took my wife a while to have confidence to call our daughter Parker ... 6 weeks on NO REGRETS we love the name ... and people's reaction to it. Older generation puzzled, younger people love it. Sounds great alongside any middle name ... we choose Parker Erin. Also, love the way young children just acceot the name, they have no preconceptions, unlike older folk ... ;-) If you like the name for a girl, just go for it nd ignore any negative comments you may here .... We are in the UK by the way, so much more uncommon name over here ...

My son's name is Parker and my husband's father's name is Parker. My husband's grandmother's maiden name was Parker'so you can see Parker is a family name for us. Until my son was named Parker the only other Parker we knew was my father-in-law. Not true now. My son went to 2 different birthday parties and at both parties there was a different Parker. I guess the name of Parker is becoming quite common. My son loves his name. I think his name is a strong name for a male.

My boys name will be Parker Allen (allen being the middle name). My wife and I fell in love with the name, and it's not that common. It ranks 108 on the social security list of most popular baby names for 2007. It might crack the top 100 for a year or two, but probably not for an extended period of time. So look at it this way, your boy or girl will always know someone it talking to them when someone yells, "Parker." Not so with my friends named John, Marc (that's me), and the like. I also liked Landon but my wife did not.

I am 25 and my name, Parker, always gets compliments, it is a family name. I love my name and I like the fact that when someone reads my resume before meeting me, they do not know my gender, nor does my name make me sound ditsy, this way I feel like there are no preconceived notions about who I will be. I do think that my name helps me out in the class room and when I am meeting potential employers, most don't forget my name, and they can't confuse me with someone else. I think that it is the perfect name for a girl who does not fit the girly girl mold; it is for a girl with a bit of tom boy in her blood, lots of ambition and high goals in life.

I named my sone Parker. Park is a my grandmothe's madien name, and my autistic uncles name. So I condsider Park to be a family name. I came up with the name "Parker" because of Park, but I didn't want to name him Park. Even'though I tell people, like my aunts and grandmother that I want him to be called Parker, they still call him Park.

Our baby boy is named Parker, and it fits him perfectly, and we lots of people comment that he has a cool name. Its easy to spell and say, and it is a really strong boys name! He has gotten 'Patrick' a few times but not so bad. Great name!

We named our son Peyton and think It's a really cute name that's not too common (although I'm starting to find out that apparently quite a lot of girls nowadays are named Payton/Peyton :( ). i've always thought Peyton is more of a boy name, and Payton is more of a girl name, but i've read people saying the opposite on the web.

I think Parker is a great name. Its not all that common, but common enough he'she won't be the only one in the world. Plus, It's the name of the'sweetest, and greatest baby boy in the whole wide world :P

Parker has been our number one boy name for a long time, but we don't have a boy yet. On the next baby, I think we're going to use it whether we have a boy or a girl. It's perfect for either!

My husband and I are having our first child, a little girl, in 10 weeks! We are very excited and Parker is out top choice with possibly a middle name of Caroline. Our last name is Brown.... My only hesitation is some of the'sIt's that talk about it being too masculine and only for a boy, but these comments give me more confidence in the name choice! :-)

I have two little girls and I gave them both more masculine first names and pretty feminine middle names. Peyton Rose and Parker Anne. Everyone gave me the weird looks too when I first announced both of their names like "I thought you said it was a girl". I also got a lot of "how is he" and "is he doing this yet" at the doctors office. I just let them keep going until they pull the diaper off and then laught on the inside when'they seem surprised.

My wonderful 19 year old daughter is a Parker. She always says it is a boy's name but she loves having it. She now goes to a big university and says she has finally met a girl named parker. I have always wished Parker Posey would be in a big movie be because I named her after her. My Parker has nicknames of Parks which she loves. As a young girl she got called Parky. We call her all 3.

I'm 13 and a girl with the name Parker. People usually think I'm a boy by my name before they see me. I haven't had any bad experiences by having my name and I like it very much. i've never though about it as a boy's name though.

I named my daughter Parker in 2006 and I never heard any other little girl named Parker. Now It'seems like there are a ton of little girls being named Parker. It's a great name but I'm sad It's become so popular. Scheduling appointments and people thinking she was a boy was more fun then annoying. We love the looks! She is my Parker Elizabeth!!
