Arran Lucas S.... (one syllable surname)

Dp got his own way in the end and it's gonna take some getting used to but to be fair it does suit him.

So, there you go.

What do you think?

Like it a lot but is it meant to be Arran like the island or Aaron like Elvis Presley?

I love the name Aaron, think Arran may cause some spelling issues but it's still a lovely name (and clarifies pronunciation).
Also, as Rockbird said, Arran is an island. Aaron is the Biblical spelling. Just checking you know that :)

Does your surname begin with 's'? If so and S following the S at the end of Lucas will sound very hissy. Lucas Arran would be better.

Arran looks a bit like a made up name. Oscar is fab, as is Lucas.

Yes, we choose the spelling Arran like the island.

I do like the spelling of Aaron but I don't like the pronunciation which is Air-Ron (or at least that's what it was in the bible.

I thought Arran would clear up any problems with that.

Our surname does begin with 'S' but I think it sounds ok and plus, how often do you tell people the middle name in everyday conversation.

Glad it's been well received.

I know quite a few Arrans (I live in Edinburgh) and I always think it is a lovely name.

I love Arran, lovely name. Lucas isn't bad either.

Arran is much nicer than Aaron, which always makes me think of the Osmonds for no apparent reason.

My son ia Arran Joseph - I love Arran! The island is beautiful, and we always called my wee one "the sleeping warrior" after the risge on the isle of Arran

Arran is lovely. Much more elegant than Oscar imo. Congratualtions (I assume he's been born)!

Arran is lovely. I would assume that the parents of an Arran ave some connection to the island.

Good choice!
Oscar is a fab name, but getting quite popular.

Hello Arran!

Lovely name! And don't worry about the S thing. I have a B thing going on with DS2's name. He has a B in his name, and his surname begins with a B aswell, but we like it so that's all that really matters!
