So we're onto either Lachlan or Brodie for this one but I'm looking for more suggestions. We already have a Euan, Callum and a Fergus. I had dismissed Innes but heard it in a shop today and quite liked it.

Im stuck - poor we'd Fergus was nameless for 10 days - I want to get this one cracked before he pops out.

I love the name MerylStrop!

MerylStrop · 03/09/2011 21:42

DS is Angus Keir
I love the Keir bit
We also liked Rory and Duncan

GoingToHelenaHandcart · 03/09/2011 21:37

I like Torryn spelledlike that, not sure which is the right version.

Another Scot here too - I have a friend with a Keir, which is cool.

Brodie/Brody is one of my top boys names! Also love Nairn for boys too. another Scot here :)

pointydog · 03/09/2011 20:51

I like Alexander shortened to Sandy.

WinkyWinkola · 03/09/2011 20:32

Torran.

Yama · 03/09/2011 20:30

Ah, Dougray. I love it. However, everyone and I mean everyone I mentioned it to when pregnant with dc2 openly laughed at me declaring that it wasn't actually a name. Shits, the lot of them,

GoingToHelenaHandcart · 03/09/2011 20:28

donald, murdo, wallace, merrick and carrick are also great names.

Baffledandbewildered · 02/09/2011 16:00

I like Ramsey good solid name

whizzyrocket · 02/09/2011 15:22

I like pretty much all of these but having taught in Scotland can I suggest that Kieran or Kielan (I know they're more Irish) are over-used and for some reason tend to be naughty boys. Fraser is lovely though as is Alastair.

Yep - Fraser just seemed a but refined and he had a really fat face and legs when he came out. Fergus means man of strength and it suits his build and character

I don't think of Fraser as being posh particularly but Fergus (and Callum) are more bruiser/boisterous boys type names whereas Fraser seems a more "sensitive/quiet" boy's name. Just in my own head, obviously Grin. My Fergus is a definite bruiser too.

I still like Brodie

birdofthenorth · 02/09/2011 08:43

Brodie

Thumbwitch · 01/09/2011 23:25

I don't think of Fraser as being particularly posh, it's a good name.

Flatstomachenomore · 01/09/2011 23:22

I love Gregor, Gregory, Lachlan, Murdoch and Inness. Good luck with your choices.

Fergus was to be a Fraser but he just looked a bit too much of a bruiser when he came out.

mollyscarlettmum · 01/09/2011 21:52

We've just had a Fraser, and we are definitely not posh! Also liked Gregor but he just looked like a Fraser if you know what I mean! My daughter had a Lomond in her nursery class

FellatioNelson · 01/09/2011 21:50

Ooh yes, Dougray is lovely. Very manly and romantic sounding.

deste · 01/09/2011 21:47

Has anyone mentioned Dougray, pronounced, although my favourite name is Hamish.

Oh and I've always liked Duncan but is it a bit of an old man's name?

Hi ladies- I'm still listening. DH not going for the innes option much. Says penis/anus association could be source of much hilarity in the playground.

Is Fraser posh do you think? It's always been floating around on the list.
