Surname-y boys names

90 replies

JollyShortGiant · 10/07/2013 21:09

DS is Harris. DH and I commit the Mumsnet sin of liking surname-y names. We are Scottish though where it is more acceptable. DC2 is due next month and we are trying to find a name we both like enough to use. We have a girl's name we like.

Some boy's names we like so far are:
Cooper
Campbell
Cameron
Fletcher
Ramsay
Leighton
Murray

But none of these seem quite right. Please give me some more suggestions!

Love surnames for first names! DH is Fraser, my DBro is Spencer, DS is Carter.

My top names of any subsequent DS's are Sullivan, Lachlan, Elliot.

DH is Scottish too, we have a very Scottish surname...

Gordon ( I have an uncle)
Duncan ( I have a cousin)

Our girl's name is Rebecca Mirren. With Bethany Mirren in reserve :)

These are great. Lots to mull over.

Two Scots of my acquaintance:

Grierson
Granger

My father was Campbell, his brother was Ross, but to me that's not quite the same vibe.
