Which do you prefer? Opinions on names?

Fergus is lovely!

The sitcom is Frasier not Fraser.
I like both, with a slight preference for Fraser.

@TheTeddyBears he was called Ferguson not Fergus

17caterpillars1mouse · 15/11/2022 12:56

I adore Fergus

RuthW · 15/11/2022 12:26

Fergus without a doubt

Fraser

Fraser, Fergus sounds like fungus

MissHavishamsMouldyOldCake · 15/11/2022 11:42

I like both names. I remember when Gordon and Sarah Brown had their second son they called him Fraser at the suggestion of their other young son. Hate when it's spelt Frazer though.

Neither.
Fergus to me just sounds like fungus. Fraser should be a name for a werewolf.

Season0fTheWitch · 15/11/2022 10:58

Fraser!

soulinablackberrypie · 15/11/2022 10:54

Definitely Fergus for me. I'm not that keen on surnamey names and I've known an irritating Fraser. My parents considered Fergus for my brother and would probably have used it if I had another brother, so I've grown up with the idea that it's a lovely name, and it's also a bit more unusual than Fraser where I live, and has the advantage that there are no common variant spellings (you might get Frazer but not Ferguz!)

TheTeddyBears · 15/11/2022 09:22

Fraser, I love that name and I really don't like Fergus at all. I think the little brother in Clarissa was called Fergus maybe why I don't like it 😂

PearlclutchersInc · 15/11/2022 08:59

Fraser.....but please spell it properly (loathe Frasier!)

GlassDeli · 15/11/2022 08:54

Fergus

Roselilly36 · 15/11/2022 08:51

I love the name Fraser

NocturnalUponStLucy · 15/11/2022 08:46

Fergus. Fraser is awful.

emmathedilemma · 15/11/2022 08:00

I also like both but prefer Fergus

VenusClapTrap · 15/11/2022 07:35

Fergus definitely.

mintich · 15/11/2022 07:32

Both lovely but much prefer Fergus

DoNutSweatTheSmallStuff · 15/11/2022 06:34

Fraser

Beachhutnut · 15/11/2022 06:32

Outlander fan? Fergus for me.

HuntingoftheSnark · 15/11/2022 06:15

Love Fergus (and Magnus and Rufus).

ghostsandpumpkinsalready · 15/11/2022 05:47

Love Fraser (I really wanted to use it for my son but compromised with his dad )
Not keen on fergus

Porridgeislife · 15/11/2022 05:05

I love Fergus. Ferg is a great nickname for a little boy.

Derrymum123 · 15/11/2022 05:05

Fergus.
