Fraser or Stewart

These are the only 2 names that DH and I can agree on- and even that’s taken us 39 weeks!! I’d prefer to spell Stewart as Stuart, but he claims that he doesn’t like that spelling at all. Which would you go for?
Thanks!

Much prefer Fraser.

Would have Stuart rather than Stewart.

However, Alasdair would trump both! Smile

I like Fraser.

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 08/09/2018 15:27

Stuart/Stewart
Surname names just scream chav to me

With regards to Stuart, no one will think of Family Guy!
I mainline Family Guy. It’s probably my favourite show ever. I wouldn’t associate Stuart with Stewie. Most people absolutely won’t.

TheVanguardSix · 08/09/2018 13:27

Fraser? No.
Stuart is better.

MikeUniformMike · 08/09/2018 13:25

Fraser, but i know people who shop in House of Frasier.
Stuart is nice but I don't like Stu/Stewie. Brodie makes me think of The Prime of Miss Jean, so that's a No.

Sugarpiehoneyeye · 08/09/2018 10:18

Definitely Fraser, prefer Struan, to Stewart.

weebarra · 07/09/2018 23:18

I like Stuart and think Fraser is ok. I'm Scottish and no one would pronounce it Frazier. Think about Innes, Struan, Brodie, Keir?

moredoll · 07/09/2018 23:13

prefer Fraser.

also like Innes, Sorley, Angus and Campbell

Thanks all! Looks like Fraser is most a favourite amongst the masses- I’ll keep working on DH!

I like Stewart too.

AnyaMoondial · 07/09/2018 11:48

I like Stewart. And I prefer it spelled like that too.

Sungura · 07/09/2018 11:42

Fraser. Definitely.

Sunflower321 · 07/09/2018 11:32

Stuart

MusicLOUD · 07/09/2018 10:51

Stewart and Stuart are pn differently surely. St-Eww-Art vs Stu-Art. Eww va Ooo.

I don't like the Eww sound.

Stuart is much nicer.

Who’s likely to watch frasier now though? Family guy is current as are minions.

I'd think that - but people STILL mispronounce the name constantly! It's like total mental block territory! Even the young kid named it in one of my children's classes in infant school gets the Frasier thing apparently according to his dad!

Aprilshowersnowastorm · 07/09/2018 10:40

Fraser.
Not Stew.

Poor bairn!!

Peachbubble · 07/09/2018 10:39

Fraser

Honflyr · 07/09/2018 09:43

Fraser. Stewart has always felt like a bit of a "wet/limp" name to me, sorry!! Fraser is very handsome and mature, but also cute as it reminds me of Fraser Bears.

Also we still remind him of the teenage period where he tried to declare "Fraz" as his nickname which was just bloody awful.
