Ziggy that is the Gilbert my friend named her son after!

My friend has a Gilbert (Gil). Suits him perfectly and I think that Gil is quite a classy name for an adult.

As a Scot I would find a non-Scottish Hamish odd and a Scottish one a bit of a cliché.

I kind of love Gilbert due to Anne if Green Gables.

Gil for short is nice

Hamish is great.

Hamish is fab! Are you Scottish?

Love Hamish. A grown up Hamish is cool, a grown up Gilbert, not so much!

Hamish has a sense of style, I think.

Hamish. A thousand times Hamish.
