So names I love are Ben or Robbie but DP hates them. He loves Alfie but I hate it.

Other names I am thinking of suggesting are

Fraser
Alex
Ross
Euan
Tom
Sam

We are living in England if that makes a difference (but we are Scottish)

Anyone have any other ideas? We have such different tastes in starting to think this baby will remain nameless.

Also quite keen on Tom now I've had such a lovely response here. I do like Alasdair but not keen on something that has multiple spellings which could cause confusion.

Any other thoughts on Fraser? how is it thought of in England (where he will be growing up)

It's important that you both like the name.
I like Ben but dislike Alfie - I think it would be cute for a dog but not for a man.
Robbie is OK.
Fraser - Yes. Like it.
Alex - so many of them
Ross - ok
Euan - ok
Tom -ok but lots of Toms
Sam - yes
Elliot - no, sounds feeble.
Ellis - ok
Finbar - NO. So many Finns
Callum - yes
Max - yes
Oscar - NO
Milo - NO
Atticus - NO. Don't.

Or Aiden?

Tom

I have to agree with other posters about Tom. It’s a lovely name, I had three dds, but I wanted Charlie for a boy. I also love the name Alex. For something different I like Dexter.

How about Benjamin shortened to Jamie?...

I like Fraser, Alex and Euan.

Like Ross (but Poldark effect), Euan and Fraser. How about Alasdair?

Love Fraser.

Erasmus?

Murray
Stirling

We are formula 1 fans and DH is Scottish so these were on our shortlist, but never used.

Another vote for Tom, can't go wrong with it, it's lovely.

villainousbroodmare · 24/01/2018 00:17

Also love Tom.

Tom is gorgeous. It suits through every stage of life.
Adorable. On a baby.
Cute on the school name peg
Cool for teenager.
Strong and masculine yet at the sametime gentle for a man.
Not overly common nowadays.
What's not to love. All the Toms I've ever met have been lovely and very handsome.
