Thanks everyone! Hamish is slightly edging it, but both seem very well liked. Yay. We don't live in Scotland but one of us is Scottish. We can't use Alistair as it's my brother's name.
(Love your kids /future names orkneyfudge!)

Angus

But I am an AC/DC fan

Angus, I think Hamish is a really ugly name.

KnitFastDieWarm · 26/07/2016 20:47

I've got one of these Grin both are lovely names

Angus

Hamish I think but both are good.

My neighbour is called Alistair but my dh has a mental block on his name and always calls him Angus (I don't think to his face yet but one day..) so call him Alistair instead!

TroysMammy · 26/07/2016 20:38

Hamish.

AnotherDayInParadiseLost · 26/07/2016 20:33

Love 'em both!

Yes, for Scottish names Ruariadh is a favourite of mine too, as is Keir

If I ever have another DS he will be Hamish so that one for me! (Yes we are in Scotland).

My DS has a name very similar to Angus and I think they would make a nice pair.

"Silent G" haha that is brilliant. I'd never have been witty enough to come up with that.

Anyway I prefer Hamish by a long shot. Angus I associate with beef.

Figgygal · 26/07/2016 20:05

Please tell me that you are Scottish at least?

MadameJosephine · 26/07/2016 20:01

Angus

MyBootsAreMuddy · 26/07/2016 19:58

I like both but Hamish just edges ahead for me as I know 3 (all adults back home in NZ) all of which are lovely.

ByTheWishingWell · 26/07/2016 19:54

Angus.

AspiringMother · 26/07/2016 19:53

Don't like either that much but I had to pick then it would be Angus. Smile

Raines100 · 26/07/2016 07:53

Hamish is great. Angus is a cow's name.

StrugglingAndNeedAHand · 25/07/2016 20:23
