Hi,
Like many, DH & I, are finding boy's names so hard!
We are both traditionalist. We like classic names for boys. No surnames, cool names (we are too boring to carry this off) or old man or vintagey style names. I don't want a name that is common. This is not a concern of DH.
Finally surname starts with H and ends with IE. It rules out lots of y & ey first names(Rory, Toby etc).
So on DH list:
Henry (far too many h & y sounds with surname)
Christopher (far too many boys from my childhood called this)
William (too common & done for me)
Me (I'm not Scottish BTW, just seem to tend towards them):
Alister
Alec
Magnus
Only common choice is Benedict or Benjamin, preferably the former. However, Benedict is my brother's name & for someone who's been obsessed with baby names since childhood it just seems so disappointing to choose something that's already been chosen by your parents!
