  1. This name, Burke, is the Irish version of the German, Burg. Pretty much means a settlement or town or fort or a concentration of population, stuff, etc. Think Gatlinburg or even iceberg. It is neither attractive or cute at the end of a name, nor as a stand alone name. This is an asinine, comically, bad name to bestow on a person you are supposed to love. Ask yourself, is this the name you wish that you could have grown up with? It sounds like a hybrid word of burp and hiccup to a child, and pretty much anyone who speaks English and has ears. While we’re on the subject, don’t name your poor baby, Todd. Way too close to clod, and why would it be necessary to say any more; saying Todd out loud should be enough.? Sorry to all the Burke’s and Todd’s out there; I’m sure you wear it well and make it cute on you?
