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.

Donovan though Lachlan is nice too.

MapofTassie · 27/08/2011 08:15

I have a Euan and a Duncan Grin
Both great names.

ripstheirthroatoutliveupstairs · 27/08/2011 08:12

Duncan of course.

skrumle · 27/08/2011 08:09

Logan, Eoin (although obv a bit similar to Euan...), Finlay, Harris, Alastair, Mungo, Gordon, Ruairidh, Gregor, Andrew, Fraser??

I like Brodie and Lachlan - Brodie is probably a bit more unusual.

Lorcan is really nice as well, not sure if that is Scots or Irish though?

Thumbwitch · 27/08/2011 08:06

You've already used my favourite, Fergus!
Andrew
Alastair (or spelling variations as appropriate)
Alexander (great name)
Fraser

I like Brodie, not so keen on Lachlan (they're ten-a-penny over here in Australia)

Kevin or Keith - both currently underused, I believe. Actually Keith might go quite nicely...

vogonmothership · 27/08/2011 08:05

Alasdair & Hamish (no bias here either! Smile)

FellatioNelson · 27/08/2011 08:05

In my family we have a Callum, a Brodie (17 now so well before its time as it seems to be having a bit of a spurt at the moment) A Rory, a Ewan, and a Cameron.

When I was PG x 3 (youngest is 12 now) I had Fergus, Angus, Lachlan and Hamish on my lists. I think Douglas is nice and Dougie is really cute. Also like Gregor or Gregory.

MugglesandLuna · 27/08/2011 08:02

Fraser - its a beautiful name (no bias here :))

HeiferLump · 27/08/2011 08:02

Or of course Scott!

peggyblackett · 27/08/2011 07:56

Angus, Struan and Innes all lovely.

DoctorX · 27/08/2011 07:51

An old Scottish name I like is Bryce. It means British.

proudfoot · 27/08/2011 00:10

Alastair!

PricklyThistle · 26/08/2011 23:53

DB has always been Lachie. Only time people used the 'o' instead of 'a' was in Canada.

I love it, but wouldn't have used it, because it doesn't go with my married surname, and I wouldn't give little DB the satisfaction Grin

ThePosieParker · 26/08/2011 23:51

Angus.

trixymalixy · 26/08/2011 23:50

Roan, Rory, Duncan, Douglas, Lewis, Cameron.

saffronwblue · 26/08/2011 23:49

Alastair?
