Please help! Back to the short list... which do you prefer out of Hamish, Ralph or Wilfred?
(Scottish roots, 3 syllable surname, sibling to Margot and Archie).
Thanks!

  1. Hamish
  2. Wilfred (love this but if you can get away with Hamish then you should)
  3. Ralph Wiggum

Hamish

I love them all!

Hamish.

RuthB4 · 30/05/2017 10:15

Hamish is gorgeous! The others are sweet names for a child but not for a man IMO.

Redpramlady · 30/05/2017 07:58

Wilfred! Congrats!

Hulababy · 30/05/2017 07:56

Wilfred but known as Fred/Freddie

Nevergrowingold · 30/05/2017 07:56

Hamish not Ralph

Cami12 · 30/05/2017 07:38

Love all three. Hamish prob my favourite and I like the Scottish theme with Archie. However I do like the way Ralph flows with your other two names, it mixes up the syllable count a bit. Otherwise all three names have two syllables. (Really splitting hairs here! All are good).

hoddtastic · 12/05/2017 19:21

not Ralph.

DramaAlpaca · 12/05/2017 19:20

Hamish, by about a million miles.

I think Hamish goes best with siblings, followed by Ralph.

Alison100199 · 12/05/2017 15:15

They are all lovely OP. Hamish or Wilf would be great.

mum2be2boys · 12/05/2017 15:13

Congratulations!

Very unhelpful, but I love all three names! I think my favourite is Hamish, but all three are lovely and go well with siblings names.

Sugarpiehoneyeye · 12/05/2017 09:05

Hamish

Elbi · 11/05/2017 14:54

All lovely. Sorry to be unhelpful but personally I don't think you can go wrong.

peaceloveandbiscuits · 11/05/2017 14:23

Sonly Wilfred Owen?

sonlypuppyfat · 11/05/2017 14:06

I can't imagine any teenager thanking you for calling them Wilfred it's pretty wet and wimpy, Hamish is ok if you are Scottish

mollyminniemo · 11/05/2017 13:58

Hamish- esp if you have Scottish roots

Sophronia · 11/05/2017 13:55

All three are nice, but I think Hamish goes best with the other two, folllowed by Ralph.

totorosfluffytummy · 11/05/2017 13:50

Congratulations Flowers
I love Hamish!
