Struggling with boys names here. DH keen on Alasdair but is it a bit old fashioned rather than classic?

We are in Scotland if that helps!

I like it, it's my dad's name and I wanted to name ds after him but Dh didn't like it.
Nn can be ally/Ali

It looks old fashioned with that spelling, somehow.

I prefer Alistair.

No it's a classic, I know a few of all different ages, including two babies.

Old fashioned names are fashionable!

A few years ago, I would have considered names such as Harry, George, Albert, etc were considered old fashioned, and now they are everywhere.

If you like the name, use it!

not Farquhar, or Finlay then? Or Crawford?

you probably never heard the Billy Connolly skit about Alasdair.... D-a-i-r
