Personally I wouldn't go for another Scottish name.

I love Jago from your list. What about Kitto, I think that's Cornish too?

Toucanet · 17/01/2015 02:19

Glad to hear it! Have fun deciding - we're having real trouble picking a boy's name. Got a nice girl's one, we think anyway, but boys only seem to like Top 10 or too posh ones :(

Agree Rory goes well. Isn't there a Jared in China Court by Rumer Godden - Cornish connection there? Like Dominic, Arthur & lots of the other suggestions though. Fraser, Cameron, Duncan etc too although then you would have 2 Scottish sounding ones - depends what you want.

My friend has a euan and his little brother is Ruairi. They go nicely together.

Whoops, don't know where the 'y' in Jago appeared from!! I meant Jago!

Yes, its a cornish name and my family are cornish. Partners family are scottish hence Ewan.

Quite like Rory and Seth.

David is the first one that comes to mind...though obviously quite underused these days.

Rhubarbgarden · 10/01/2015 09:00

I like Jared from your list. How about Marius?

Enormouse · 10/01/2015 06:20

I have a Ewan Smile.

Possible choices for his brother were:
Felix
Fraser
Arthur
Callum
Rory
Alistair
Lorcan
We chose one of the above.

I do like Dominic and Rowan though.

Jago is a Cornish name derived from the pronunciation of Diego, Spanish for James.

mathanxiety · 10/01/2015 05:22

Ewan and Fergus
Ewan and Ivo
Ewan and Cormac
Ewan and Finn
Ewan and Alistair

I love the sound of Ewan and Rory^^.

DrLego · 10/01/2015 03:11

David?
Monte
Monty

DrLego · 10/01/2015 03:10

I don't think Reuben and Ewan go well together particularly, too rhymey. But you're naming people, not pets, so it shouldn't matter long term if they go together or not bans self from thread

DrLego · 10/01/2015 03:08

Jago,
Joshua? Justin?
Iolo
Diego?
Fraser
Robin?
Carwyn

Norfolkandchance1234 · 10/01/2015 02:57

The name Jago makes me wince when I hear it called out.

Toucanet · 10/01/2015 02:53

Jaygo are you kidding is that a name? If it's a classic, apologies, but afraid it sounds made-up chavtastic to me. imho!

Jago or just Jay ok though.
Rowan I love but agree too similar.
Jared & Reuben good.

Butterfly lists some nice alternatives too.

emeline · 10/01/2015 02:28

Jared is fantastic!

Jared and ewan! Yay!

ButterflyOfFreedom · 10/01/2015 02:22

PS. Love Jared!

ButterflyOfFreedom · 10/01/2015 02:21

I like Rowan too but agree it's too similar to Ewan.
As above, my first thought was Rory.

Connor
Spencer
Harris
Gregor
Seth
Jasper
Noel
Freddie
Sam
Brent
Dominic

Sophronia · 09/01/2015 23:06
