Narrowed our boys name down to;
Elias
Henry
Tristan
Curious to see any preferences? We like in the West of Scotland if that makes a difference.
Also, girl's name is definitely Sophia Violet 😁 x

Elias is becoming very 'on-trend' just now and will become very dated in future. I'd probably pick Henry out of them- classic and well known but I've never met a Henry in Scotland (I live in the West also).

Elias. Henry or Tristan would lead to presumptions that you are posh, unfairly but a reality.

Frogscotch7 · 18/07/2018 17:20

Elias is cool as f*ck

SoftBlocks · 18/07/2018 17:19

Elias then Tristan. Not keen on Henry.

SleepWarrior · 18/07/2018 17:17

Henry or Tristan, don’t call your child Elias

Why not @blackbirdbluebottle? You just don't like it or some other reason?

blackbirdbluebottle · 18/07/2018 14:24

Henry or Tristan, don’t call your child Elias

NordicNobody · 18/07/2018 14:06

Tristan was on our short list, but they're all fab, you can't go wrong 👍

spiderlight · 18/07/2018 11:27

Elias - I love it, and Eli is a cute nickname.

DaniCam89 · 18/07/2018 11:19

Thanks everyone for your inputs. Elias is probably my favourite but my boyfriend still loves Tristan. I guess we still have plenty time to decide anyway lol x

MadMaryBoddington · 12/07/2018 07:37

Love Tristan. Dh vetoed it as too ‘posh boy’ Sad

whymewhyme · 10/07/2018 19:44

Elias Grin

17caterpillars1mouse · 10/07/2018 19:40

I like all of them.

I like Tristan the least

From the other two I would go with Elias as it is more uncommon and I love Eli.

Elias Henry would be gorgeous

Icklepup · 10/07/2018 16:12

Elias!

Mousefunky · 10/07/2018 15:25

I don’t like Tristan. Henry is lovely but Elias is my favourite.

n0ne · 10/07/2018 15:22

I like the way Tristan sounds in a Scottish accent so I'd go with that. All good names, though.

HappyHedgehog247 · 10/07/2018 12:21

Tristan. Henry is popular now.

starkid · 10/07/2018 12:20

I like all of them! If I had to put them in order of preference it would be:
Tristan
Elias
Henry
:)

adviceonthepox · 10/07/2018 11:50

If I had to choose which of those names I would pick Henry.
Elias is ok prefer Eli and I hate the name Tristan. It's so popular around here I know of 7 and they are all horrible.

fieryginger · 10/07/2018 10:42

I love Henry.

AlwaysTheEnd · 10/07/2018 10:16

Elias > Tristan > Henry

All good names but Henry seems too popular.

TheVanguardSix · 10/07/2018 09:25

Elias.

MariaMadita · 10/07/2018 09:23
  1. Elias
  2. Henry
  1. Tristan: I really don't like Tristan.
Sugarpiehoneyeye · 10/07/2018 08:51

Henry.

pennycarbonara · 09/07/2018 22:56

Henry!

Henry or Harry and Sophie go very well together.

Tristan sometimes gets used as a comic stereotype of a posh boy name.

DramaAlpaca · 09/07/2018 22:36

Henry by a mile.
