"Why does everyone love Hamish, its a God-awfull name!"-in your opinion!

Why does everyone love Hamish, its a God-awfull name!

diddl · 07/07/2012 18:36

Love it!

AnnaNimitty · 07/07/2012 18:21

We had a very nasty little precocious brat in our class called Hamish

I think of Hamish Macbeth, but I liked Hamish Macbeth so that's OK.

Maybe there was a very popular, clever, handsome, athletic and likeable Hamish in their classes when they were young lads and they've associated the name with their jealousy of him? Hmm :)

Seems like a lot of DPs and Hs dislike Hamish!

flubba · 07/07/2012 09:48

Love it, love it, love it. Please use it, as DH vetoed it for my DS :( (although I love his name too now) :)

EugenesAxe · 07/07/2012 09:47

I love it - I know a few nice Hamishes. Plus he will get excited when you read him Lighthouse Keeper stories as it features (OK it's the cat, but who cares?).

poppy283 · 07/07/2012 09:42

Love it, wanted it for ds (due in 6 weeks!) But DP vetoed, please use it!

PerfectStranger74 · 06/07/2012 22:25

Love it. Really, really love it.

Wish I'd not let Ex DP have a say...

MyCatIsAStupidBastard · 06/07/2012 22:21

eh? Not a name?

What on earth shall I call the lad now he doesn't 'technically' have a name.

Poor boy Sad

Why is Hamish not technically a name? And I like Eli too, it is cool Smile.

Kveta · 06/07/2012 21:37

also know a few, and think it's a lovely name :)

freerangeeggs · 06/07/2012 21:32

... and lovely :)

freerangeeggs · 06/07/2012 21:32

It is a real name now, BuggerandArse. It gets used all the time. I don't think there's much point in trying to stop that - kind of like pissing in the wind.

At what point does something become a 'real' name, anyway? It's all just pendantry, really.

FWIW, I know a few boys named Hamish. I think it's relatively normal these days.

Geranium3 · 06/07/2012 21:17

i had a very special guinea piggy when i was a child called hamish and he was a star with a big personality so go for it!!!!

OhBuggerandArse · 06/07/2012 21:17

You do know Hamish isn't technically a real name?

AlphabetiSpaghetti · 06/07/2012 21:15

Love it. Eli and Hamish are fab together, ignore above. Rude.

AnnaNimitty · 06/07/2012 21:14

What drugs are you on? How does Eli and Hamish go together. One is Hebrew the other is Scottish!

Haemadoots · 06/07/2012 21:13

Love it :)

WithACherryOnTop · 06/07/2012 21:09

Love it.It's not at all clunky.
