Baby boy no.3

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!?

What about Magnus?

Yama · 29/03/2014 20:38

Hamish is a fine name.

I do love Shay though. If only dh had agreed ...

Thanks!

We are in London but my side of the family is entirely Scottish. Just a bit wary about looking like a plastic Jock (?!) or try hard.

James and Hamish are both family names but we have reasons for not using James.

Its the Scottish version of James or the vocative of the Gaelic Seamus - so all related.. You could put James on the BC and still call him Hamish...

dementedma · 29/03/2014 19:17

Depends where you live too. Here in Scotland,Hamish, isn't "out there" at all!

ToffeeJungle · 29/03/2014 18:45

Not keen on Hamish but all that matters is you like it!

Of those others suggested so far I like Seamus (love Shay), Rufus and Theo.

Would be interesting to know what your other DC are called.

Congratulations!

TeaAndALemonTart · 29/03/2014 18:42

I like it. Go for it and congratulations!

Ludways · 29/03/2014 18:40

I like it.

DessieLou · 29/03/2014 18:38

If you like it & it suits him then go for it! I think it's sweet.??

Ruprekt · 29/03/2014 18:34

Go for Hamish then. Quite cute!

Also like Fergus, Theo, Rufus. SmileSmile

Congrats!

What are your other boys called?

nevergoogle · 29/03/2014 18:34
