Austin or Fraser? Surname is Sheffield

[AngelaDevon]

Thank you!

[BertrandRussell]

Austin Sheffield sounds like a vintage car! Of the two, Fraser. Are you Scottish? it doesn’t really matter- but it is a very Scottish name......

[GoingBackTo505]

Austin. Great name!

[MissHenty]

Love both

Prefer Austin. GREAT NAME

[AngelaDevon]

Ha ha! Nope, not Scottish. We just both love the name. We have not agreed on any other yet! I like Austin, but husband isn't as keen. Also, sister is called Eliza so I know we will get flack for choosing a similar sounding name with Fraser!

[Yestermo]

Austin Sheffield is not a person's name but an old car. Fraser is better but still sounds like an object. Not sure why though!

Austin

I prefer Austin. I think there are too many fs in Fraser Sheffield, it doesn't flow as well as Austin Sheffield.

[AngelaDevon]

Thank you for your opinions. This is so tough! I think I prefer Fraser, but know it doesnt work well with his sisters name Eliza. Austin works better all round, but just like the sound of Fraser and it is less common.

[SirVixofVixHall]

Agree Austin Sheffield is a car to me. A lovely car smelling of leather, and with walnut trimmings, but a car nonetheless.

[letsdolunch321]

I prefer Fraser, it is less common.

[MissHenty]

Austin can have nickname Ozzy. Love it

Austin has declined each year in popularity for the past 3 or 4 years so that’s good if you’re wanting it to be unusual

[Ikeameatballs]

Hmm. I’m not sure that either is quite right.

What about Oscar?

[MrsBertBibby]

Of the two, Fraser, but I don't like it much and it is very close to Eliza.

Robert would be great. Robert Sheffield. Rob or Robbie.

[RomaineCalm]

I prefer Fraser to Austin.

Other similar options...

Angus Sheffield
James Sheffield

Henry (Harry) Sheffield
Cameron Sheffield
Connor Sheffield
Callum Sheffield
Rory Sheffield
Edward Sheffield
Stuart Sheffield

All work with Eliza.

Fraser, great name and not too popular. I think Austin seems too American.

[Astronica]

I prefer Fraser.

[diddlediddle]

Haha when I read the title I thought "Austin Sheffield sounds exactly like a vintage car". I thought this was likely to be a unique yet astute observation so imagine my surprise when I see that virtually everyone else has thought the same thing 😂

It has to be Fraser Sheffield out of those two choices, and it's a nice name. It doesn't seem to similar to Eliza at all to me.

Wasn't there a rugby player called Austin Healy - which is a vintage car name - Austin Sheffield ought to have been one but I do not think it was

[DramaAlpaca]

Austin is lovely, I really like it, but it does sound like a vintage car.

Fraser doesn't work well with Eliza.

Fraser

[alexdgr8]

sorry, but both of them sound like a product, cutlery or cars, or the name of a firm, not an individual.
the surname is so strong, as a place name so linked with steel production, that I think you need a definite first name with it, not a surname being used as a first name.
think some classic ones go well, Robert, henry, Bruce, Mark, benjamin, Joseph, Joseph, Philip, Alexander.
good luck.

Fraser. Austin Sheffield sounds a bit like "Lost in Sheffield" which reminds me of an eventful work trip I took in 2016.

[diddlediddle]

@TheCraicDealer 🤣🤣🤣

[BasiliskStare]

@TheCraicDealer - if were not a work trip I would say sounds like the cult novel The Lost Weekend - but I suppose it is how lost you were - Oh how funny

Yes - probably Fraser

I think it works perfectly well with Eliza but then unless you were to have Mungo , Margot , Hugo , Bingo , Rollo , Ivo , Sappho , Leo , Arvo - who really worries about siblings names "going together" or is that just me

As you all were , probably just me
