If you had a baby boy tomorrow and could name him your absolute dream name with no repercussions what would you choose?

Tadhg. (Pronounced like tiger but without the r). I love this name so much but can't use it because we're not Irish.

I’ve just had to look at a “top 1000 boys names” list because I have never managed to find many boys names I like.

Favourites so far are Jason, Asher (like that it could be shortened to Ash)...that’s it. I’ve always liked Killian too but it’s quite out there so not sure I’d use it.

Hamish, no Scottish connections at all which would be OK but it would be bonkers with our surname (think Hamish Swaymish)

Fraser.
