Erik = awesome.
I also like Angus and Hamish.

Ruaraidh - I think you/ he will forever be telling people how to say / spell it.

mimbleandlittlemy · 11/07/2012 14:31

I have a Gabriel. What totally defeats me is that people understand that Daniel isn't pronounced Danielle so why, ffs, do they not understand that Gabriel isn't pronounced Gabrielle? Angry If I'd known people were quite so thick so uncertain on pronunciation I might not have gone with it.

There, just getting that off my chest.

Ivor -quite like this, wouldn't choose it myself, but it's quite cool

Ivo -unsure, this looks incomplete to me, sorry

Ian -very rare for this generation -I wouldn't choose it but don't mind it

Gabriel -lush -love Gabe as a nn (people will warn you of Gay teasing though)

Ozias(NN Ozzy) -Never heard this before, think I like it (a lot more than Oswald anyway!)

Struan- Fab, lovely Scottish name

Caspian -Nice

Ivan -Like this

Miles -Nice

Cade- Never heard of this either -it's ok

Omri- Not my cup of tea sorry

Marius -I know one and he got teased a bit, Marius will you Marry Us, but he lived to tell the tale. I prefer Mario but I guess that's a different set of potential teasing!

Angus -fabulous, on my list

Hamish -love it

Ruaraidh -also love it

Mortimer -can't shake off deathly connotations, sorry!

Seth -great name

Ambrose -very very cool

Erik -like this too

love Struan and it is historically a family name on my side by OH hated it.

Also like Ivo and Ian not struck on a lot of the others i.e. Cade and Omri but then I like quite "normal" names, doesn't make a bad person :)

Also like Iain with the extra I - that's my sons middle name.

baskingseals · 10/07/2012 08:53

love Ivo and Gabriel.

also like Struan.

I have a little Angus, who is known as Gus, it was a real compromise name, i was beyond desperate to call him Gabriel, but vetoed by Mr Conventional.

you've got some really nice names there

good luck Grin

PuddingPop · 10/07/2012 08:48

I like Gabriel, Miles, Marius, Hamish, Seth.

Marius is a lovely name and underused.

PrettyInDecadence · 09/07/2012 23:56
