Yes, his name has been totally ripped to shreds on here.

We didn't really consider anything else, it was the only name we both liked.

Alistair

I liked Bruce, Angus and Alexander (we're not even Scottish)

YoDiggity · 11/12/2013 04:37

Is Rory having a huge popularity spurt then? I can't believe how many of you have mentioned it. I have a Rory, he's 21. We have come across a smattering of them over the years, but it has never been an especially popular name. However, this thread implies that it soon will be! I still love it - it transcends all ages/classes/types for me. Classic without being boring.

Cian, we didn't consider any other names Grin

Norfolknway · 11/12/2013 03:34

my ds is Luke.
Loved Isaac, Noah and Nathaniel.

Mutteroo · 11/12/2013 01:47

Oliver, known as Ollie
Short listed: Thoedore (Theo), Christopher (Kit), Thomas (Tom), Joshua (Josh) & Jacob (Jake). Think I may have an obsession with names that can be shortened.

tshirtsuntan · 11/12/2013 01:11

Ted.
Was possibly a William Or a Robert.

wilkos · 11/12/2013 00:37

Tom

He was going to be Rory or Henry but at the 20 week scan having recovered from the shock that he wasn't actually another girl I looked at him in the screen and thought "that is my boy and his name is Tom" Smile

Ds is Ewan and this was a standout choice for him. We both agreed and had no other alternatives

DS2 - we shortlisted Aidan, Arthur, George and Felix. But we've decided he's going to be called Callum.
