Baby boy no.3

41 replies

We had baby boy no.3 yesterday and he's nameless.

The only name we can agree on is Hamish. Feel like it's a bit 'out there' when our other 2 are in the top 30. Also concerned DS3 will feel lumbered with an unusual name.

Any thoughts!?

Think Hamish goes beautifully with you other childrens names. Congratulations!

nevergoogle · 31/03/2014 10:44

I agree. Hamish is perfect.

Sharaluck · 31/03/2014 10:40

I think Hamish goes very nicely with his brothers names :)

Just seen that you're going to use it.

Excellent!!

Hamish Alexander,
Hamish William?

It's a lovely name.

"Out there"?

Really??

I have a wee Hamish. (A nod to DH's Scottish family.)

It's a splendid name. Fairly uncommon outside Scotland but not so unrecognisable to be a problem.

Not my cup of tea. How about Toby/Jamie/Thomas.

Nataleejah · 31/03/2014 08:44

Hamish or Haymitch (from Hunger Games)

Strangely, we considered almost all of the names suggested. We're sticking with Hamish. Just need to sort middle names. Brothers are Max and Lucas.

Thanks!

Congratulations on your new baby boy! Flowers.

I think Hamish is an excellent name, especially if you are Scottish.

hoobypickypicky · 29/03/2014 21:26

That's really creepy. I read your first sentence and said to myself "Hamish!".

Then I read on. :)

You've got to name him Hamish now, it's meant to be! Grin

scarletforya · 29/03/2014 21:24

Yes. Great name!

ExitPursuedByABear · 29/03/2014 21:22

Do it

zoemaguire · 29/03/2014 21:16

I love it!

DomesticGoddess31 · 29/03/2014 21:16

I have a brother Hamish and think its an awesome name. Go for it!

dementedma · 29/03/2014 21:03

Angus?

Surf25 · 29/03/2014 21:00

I don't think it's try hard, especially not if your family are Scottish..
What about Magnus or Fergus? Callan or Torren? Struan?
If you love it, go for Hamish!
