Both lovely choices! Classic names that aren't too common/poluar.

Which one sounds better with your surname?

Fergus. Sawyer is a surname, and sounds rather harsh, too.

it is a surname but is used as a first name!, very uncommonly admittedly

I'm not hugely fond of fergus but it is far, far better than Sawyer.

I like Sawyer, it's what Sara Gilbert called her daughter.

Fergus always makes me think of the Deacon Blue song "Fergus Sings The Blues." Sorry I'm an 80s throwback.

Prefer Fergus to Sawyer as that makes me think of the little tyke in the stories (Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Fin.) Doesn't make me think of handsome survivors at all.

Fergus is very unsexy. Granted, not of immediate concern with a newborn, but just thinking ahead!

When I hear Sawyer - I think Soya........Tho the character in 'Lost' sort of makes it ok!
Don't like Fergus.

DS2 was very nearly Sawyer, but we went for Sol in the end. It was a difficult choice though, they are lovely name. (IMO )

I really am not a fan of Fergus.

Sawyer is brill.
