Gabriel, Ralph or Hamish?
Just that really.
To go with siblings Archie and Margot. (We have Scottish parents.) Months to go but not getting any closer to a decision! Thanks.

Hamish.

ConstanceCraving · 02/08/2017 17:16

I prefer Gabriel but Ralph would go nicely too. Not keen on Hamish.

RatRolyPoly · 02/08/2017 17:01

Gabriel and Ralph I adore. Can't abide Hamish!

Lozmatoz · 02/08/2017 17:01

Gabriel, unless your surname starts with a B. That's why I've dismissed the name. If it's shortened to Gabe that is....

Lemondrop99 · 02/08/2017 16:58

Hamish by a long shot. Fits beautifully with his siblings and reflects his Scottish heritage.

Then Ralph.

MollyHuaCha · 02/08/2017 14:58
  1. Hamish
  2. Gabriel
MoonPower · 02/08/2017 14:48

Hamish.

Gabriel
Ralph

Don't like Hamish at all

SaS2014 · 02/08/2017 14:11

Hamish!
Love it!

HorridHenrietta23 · 02/08/2017 12:58

I love Hamish.
Gabriel is lovely but I might hesitate to use it because of Angel jokes (although it's becoming quite mainstream now so maybe not. )
Ralph will always be the name of a penis for me. I hate it.

TurquoiseOwl · 02/08/2017 12:49

Gabriel, but that's because I don't like Ralph and hate Hamish.

TipTop333 · 02/08/2017 11:53

Gabriel

Loyly · 02/08/2017 11:22

Hamish

Oogle · 02/08/2017 11:21

Hamish works so well with Archie and Margot

SumAndSubstance · 02/08/2017 11:20

Hamish, definitely.

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 02/08/2017 10:46

Gabriel

17caterpillars1mouse · 02/08/2017 09:44

Hamish! I love it but sadly DH doesn't

Sugarpiehoneyeye · 02/08/2017 09:43

Love Ralph.

CatInTheMat · 02/08/2017 07:49

Hamish, I love it and goes very well with your other dcs.

ThroughThickAndThin01 · 02/08/2017 07:48

Hamish

StarHeartDiamond · 02/08/2017 07:46

*Hamish!

KoalaDownUnder · 02/08/2017 07:46

Hamish - by a long way
Gabriel - second

Hate Ralph

StarHeartDiamond · 02/08/2017 07:45

I like Gabriel the best but Gamush probably "goes with" the other two better.

However, as a child myself given a less pretty name because it "went with" my elder siblings I'd say pick the best name whether it goes with or not. Your siblings are individuals and "goes together" names are only for the parents whilst the children are small.

auntym · 02/08/2017 07:45

Gabriel is lovely but for me, it doesn't fit quite as well with the style of your other names as Hamish. Ralph sounds too much like like a dog barking, which would put me off. So on balance, I'd go with Hamish.

Hamish
