Hi everyone! We need your help! We have DD Elizabeth Jane. We cannot find a boys name we like! We like Classic and Timeless names but are trying to avoid popular ones. Here is our list so far...
Lawrence
James
Clark
William
Christopher
Alistair

Thanks! X

I'm Elizabeth Jane and my brother is Christopher Ronald Grin. Perhaps don't go with the Ronald part!

Elliot

William (Billy) was the name I had reserved for baby number 3. Didn't have a third child and so never used it. Yes it's popular, nevertheless it is a fabulous name.

Lawrence & Christopher also good names & go well with Elizabeth.
How about Joshua, Alexander, Rupert, Barnaby, Dominic or Sebastian?

:o

cloggal · 15/12/2014 21:53

Also good names! But aye... I think I've made a faux pas, I'll get my coat... :)

myotherusernameisbetter · 15/12/2014 21:34

cloggal just spotted the OPs name......I think my OHs spelling wins :)

youarekiddingme · 15/12/2014 21:26

I like Christopher to.

Ironically I'm Jane Elizabeth and if I was a boy I'd have been Christopher!

BikeRunSki · 15/12/2014 21:23

Alasdair and it's variant spellings is a great name.

birdofthenorth · 15/12/2014 21:20

Oh and like someone else said I know lots of infant Williams and a couple of Jameses (and literally every other boy born seems to have James as a default middle name- lovely and classic as it is, the midwives must be bored of hearing it, sorry! Rarer as a first name but still)

myotherusernameisbetter · 15/12/2014 21:19

thanks cloggal yeah they are :) Instead I have a Craig (he wanted to spell it Creag) and Ciar (I just wanted Keir)

Theshedofalfredogarcia · 15/12/2014 21:19

Arthur Louie
Gregory Jon

birdofthenorth · 15/12/2014 21:17

Clark is fab. Really like Alistair and Lawrence, too

cloggal · 15/12/2014 21:15

Both cracking names myotherusername - think Gregor is on my list if I have another ds :)

Borderer makes sense Wink

Eastpoint · 15/12/2014 20:52

Gabriel

myotherusernameisbetter · 15/12/2014 20:52

Actually if I'd stuck to my original guns we would have Struan and Gregor...

myotherusernameisbetter · 15/12/2014 20:51

Ach, he's a Borders man so has a warped view of the world - we had to compromise on my younger sons' name - I got the name and he got the spelling - he went for a Gaelic spelling and said it was the Scottish one but I think it's ended up Irish - should have stuck to my guns. :)

cloggal · 15/12/2014 18:09

Maybe is, but it's the traditional Gaelic spelling so it'll stick Wink.

Matthew is a good suggestion.

myotherusernameisbetter · 15/12/2014 18:05

We have an Alister and Alastair in our family so there are loads of spellings - DH says using a D is "wet" though...

mathanxiety · 15/12/2014 17:38

Elizabeth and Matthew?

I like Alistair and Christopher best from your list.

Twinklebells · 15/12/2014 16:11

Mark or Jonathan.

cloggal · 15/12/2014 16:11

Love Alistair and Lawrence (though I'd spell them Alasdair and Laurence) - and the suggestion of Gregor.

myotherusernameisbetter · 15/12/2014 16:05

Gregor or Gregory

Alan
Duncan
Mark

marthabear · 15/12/2014 14:19

Elizabeth and Arthur
Elizabeth and Joseph

pizdets · 15/12/2014 13:02

Your list looks a lot like ours did! Funnily enough DH also loves Elizabeth (Lizzie) if we were to have a girl. We went with Alistair and v pleased with it, only had positive comments (except older men who ask if we're Scottish - we're not) and love Ally as a nickname. We also considered Peter, Douglas and Hugh if that helps at all!

I like Christopher best.
