Hi,

I'm due a baby boy next week and we still haven't picked a name. My husband has Scottish heritage and so a couple of the names are influenced by that. His middle name will be Wentworth as it is a family name and our surname begins with H.

Options so far are:

Vincent
Brandon
Conrad
Reuben
Kieran
Cameron
Fraser
Niall

We have scoured through a million lists and these are the best we can come up with, so please noone say they're all rubbish! Which one would you choose out of these?

Interesting to see lots of love for Fraser, that's my husband's choice too. I thought it would remind me too much of the TV show but I've come round to it!
Brandon was what we originally liked if my daughter had been a boy but I've gone off it a lot since then.

I LOVE Fraser!!

Second choice would be Reuben.

Good luck!

Kieron.
Fraser.
How about Alisdair?

Reuben! That’s such a lovely name.

If I wanted to nod towards Scottish heritage, I would choose Fraser.

Thanks all, think it might have to be a last minute decision once he gets here at this rate!

Best by a mile - Vincent
My least favourite - Brandon

The others are pretty good too

Mind you I also love Conrad and Reuben. Why not pick out of a hat.

Vincent, Cameron or Fraser. Probably Fraser. Congrats!

Stripyhoglets1 · 10/11/2021 20:58

Rueben or Cameron

Vincent

Cameron. Because I like names that can be shortened.
