原文: I love this name; we chose it for our son. I have a famous name (if you understand my username then you will get it) and so we were careful when we chose this one. The Harry Potter reference comes up but is not a super duper common. Most folks tell us that it is an original name and that they love it. It has been a big hit with folks my age.
原文: I have a biased view of this name, it being mine and all. But it's been a great ice breaker of a name. People asking wither or not I actually like the franchises it's associated with. The nicknames have never really been a problem.
原文: I personally think Griffin is a wonderful name. I have a great friend named Griffin, and he loves Harry Potter. He doesn't mind being called Gryffindor or Griff Griff on occasion. It's a name that portrays strength and leadership, even in the most geekiest of males.
原文: My name is Griffin and yes, I do hear many times my name referred to Griffindor from Harry Potter. Yes, it is annoying but currently the comparison to Peter Griffin is more annoying. I have not gotten invested into either Harry Potter or Family Guy, so this is often very annoying to me. (I'm 16 years old by the way).
原文: I don't understand why people are so cruel. Just because you don't prefer the name doesn't mean you are obligated to bash on it and make people feel bad. DO NOT compare it to a smoker's cough or an idiot or coffin. I would not name a child this name but I would a dog, for example.

翻译文: 我的女儿选择了格里芬...我喜欢它...强大,非常阳刚...
原文: My daughter has picked out Griffin... I love it... strong and very masculine...
原文: When naming a child you always have to run through how the name will sound throughout the various stages of their lives, from infant to adulthood. It's also worth thinking through possible nicknames that will be created and assigned by their peers. Griffin is cute for a baby boy. It transitions well through the young child and teenage years as it will undoubtedly be shortened to "Griff." It's unique enough to give them individuality during the college and young adult years. Then, as an adult, it gives a grown man a youthful sounding name. A great benefit to this name is the fact that your Griffin will never encounter a female with the same name. That's becoming a rare quality in a male name as people are more commonly assigning females with popular male names. Names like "Andy, Michael, James, Randy, etc" that have traditionally been boy names are very commonly given to girls now. The name Griffin is so hyper-masculine that I don't imagine the trend will go that far.

翻译文: 格里芬,从电影男子在黑色3的clairvoyant外星人。
原文: Griffin, the clairvoyant alien from the movie Men in Black 3.
原文: I like this name- it reminds me of someone chivalrous and heroic, just like a medieval knight. And, nerd alert, it reminds me of Gryffindor from Harry Potter. The Griffin in mythology is a very interesting and cool connection.
原文: Whether you like it or not it is a Welsh name. It has been in usage in England since Norman times. There are no such things as "American" names so listing it as such would be inaccurate.
原文: Love this name! It's handsome, masculine, and not too common. I don't think kids will associate it with Harry Potter. The Harry Potter craze is dying down, so by the time Griffin turns 8, kids probably won't even know what Harry Potter is.Or maybe I'm wrong and he's set up for a lifetime of teasing. I still love it though.
原文: Sounds very masculine. I like some surnames as first names for boys. It's refreshing from all the usual boy names that get seriously overused (think Michael, David, John, Joshua, etc).
原文: Personally, I think it would be a good idea to further explain the etymology of the English word 'Griffin' (sometimes also spelled as griffon and gryphon - griffoun in Middle English).According to Merriam Webster, the word first entered the English language via Anglo-French, as 'grif' and/or 'griffun'. Anglo-French in turn had adopted the word from Latin 'gryphus', which in turn came from Greek 'gryp-' and/or 'gryps' (or 'gryphon' or 'grypon', according to Wikipedia).According to other sources, Greek 'gryps' (sometimes also written as 'grups') is derived from 'grupos' (γρυπός), which means "hooked, curved" or even "hook-nosed".So, to make a long story short... when someone named Griffin takes his name from the mythological creature (rather than from the Welsh name Gruffudd), his name's meaning is ultimately "hooked, curved" or "hook-nosed".
原文: I really like this name - it has a nice homey sound to it, yet also has fantastic mythological connotations. I must say though that all the Griffins I've met have been super-nerdy.
原文: I've always thought this was such a cool name. I'm 15 and I don't associate this name with Harry Potter at all. Not all young people like Harry Potter... But I think that this is a great, unique, cool, and strong name. I have a friend named Griffin and he gets complimented on it all the time :)

翻译文: 太“脏”为我听。我不在乎。
原文: Too "dirty" sounding for me. I don't care for it.
原文: I love the name Griffin. It's very masculine and uncommon. I HATE the nicknames Griff or Griffy, I prefer Finn. I probably wouldn't name my child Griffin though. :(

翻译文: 我爱吃狮子,但我永远不能给我的孩子命名这个。
原文: I love griffins, but I could never name my child this.
原文: I like this name, but I'm not sure why. Maybe because of the mythological creature. I'm not sure if I'd name my son this. It would be a great name for a heroic character, though.
原文: A famous bearer of this name is Griffin O'Connor, one of the main characters in the movie Jumper, as well as the spin-off novel and video game, Jumper: Griffin's Story.

翻译文: 无形的人的名字是格里芬。相当一个象征性的名字。
原文: H. G. Well's The Invisible Man's name is Griffin. Quite a symbolic name, I believe.
原文: When I first heard this name, I thought it was one of the ugliest ever. But it has since grown on me, and now I like it. I think the mythological connection is cool and it sounds strong and brave. What's also nice is it isn't too common.
