I know what you mean Midsomer. It didn't occur to us that Margot was at ALL Scottish sounding when we named her, but other people tell me it sounds very Scottish with Hamish?! So now we seem to have a 'theme'. Hmm.
I know neither Archie or George are particularly imaginative - but I think because the other two are unusual we're in the mood for something more simple this time round. (I also like Jack right now, for example, but know too many of them plus too similar at root to Hamish).

I vote for Archie I have a 3yr old one so I'm biased Grin

Archie, but they do have sort of heiland coo ring, all together.

Thanks everyone! I agree with alot of the opinions here in that I slightly prefer George but still like Archie - and Archie has a Scottish family connection for us (plus DH prefers it). Feedback is tied at 50/50 and I still can't decide!
As for the other suggestions, baby will have a close cousin Arthur so that would be weird. I love Angus but think it's too much with Hamish. DH quite likes Archer and so do I, it's possible we could use it as a formal version of Archie, but still doesn't quite swing it between the two names.
Thanks for all the feedback!

George goes best with the other two. No doubt about it!

DramaAlpaca · 19/08/2017 17:33

George goes best.

Archie is more cutesy & nicknamey than your other names.

BikeRunSki · 19/08/2017 17:32

I usually don't like Archie, but one of the loveliest families of my childhood had an Archie and Hamish, so that combo gets my vote.

HeteronormativeHaybales · 19/08/2017 17:31

Think Archie is more in keeping with your other names.

Mclaren37 · 19/08/2017 17:30

I think Archer and Arthur go nicely too, but Archie/Archibald has a nice Scottish feel that works well with Hamish. (Angus is great but not with Hamish).

ThroughThickAndThin01 · 18/08/2017 20:38

Archie

Threeandabit · 18/08/2017 20:35

I think Archie....I prefer Archer though, so am just suggesting that.

Mclaren37 · 18/08/2017 07:43

I really like Archie with Margot and Hamish. George is a nice name too. Good luck!

Kazzawazza69 · 17/08/2017 11:27

Archie

auntym · 17/08/2017 07:03

Archie

WildCherryBlossom · 16/08/2017 20:00

Definitely George!

DoItTooJulia · 16/08/2017 19:55

I dislike Archie a lot-although I do know a really lovely one!

Arthur is a much better suggestion! But if I have to pick between your choices, George wins.

mistermagpie · 16/08/2017 13:16

George, my children have names very similar to yours (DS2 is Hamish) and Archie has a very different feel.

Arthur might work though?

Ropsleybunny · 16/08/2017 12:23

George.

Sophronia · 16/08/2017 12:22

I also prefer George, but Archie goes better

Sugarpiehoneyeye · 16/08/2017 11:25

I prefer the name George, but Archie goes better.

MammieBear · 16/08/2017 11:23

Archie goes better that George in my opinion or consider Angus

early30smum · 16/08/2017 11:05

Either works really well, but I'd say George is better with them. Love both George and Archie.
