Is it a bit 'Alfie', or is it in a different league?

We are still very keen on Finlay, and I really like Theo and Louis but hubby is keen to keep it Scottish.

Oh, and what would you favour - Finlay or Archie?

Thank you again!

Doogie?
Doogie???

Please tell me you are joking?

moondog · 06/04/2008 20:23

No to all of them.

Are you Scottish?

If not,step away from Scottish names.

MadameCh0let · 06/04/2008 20:21

I love Archie, but I think it's urban cool. I like Finley too, but I worry about the future of that name

What do you think of Seamus or Doogie or Fergus. Yes, Fergus is excellent.

What about Richie instead of Archie? Less urban cool?? WDYT??

by the way, my brother is called angus and my dad is called hamish!

I like them all, archie is very popular around here and we know 3 so quite common as is Finlay and Louis, in fact they were all in our top 10, but we went for Tom. even more commom!

Scottish boys names are great! I love Angus, Finlay, Cameron, Hamish and Calum.

madcol · 06/04/2008 19:31

Finlay definitely. Archie is short for Archibald isn't it? Scottish-wise (?) I also like Hamish and Angus.

I really can't stand Archie or Alfie or Albie - hate all those sorts of names actually.

Theo is the nicest and not at all common - in a lots of them around sense not a chav sense IYKWIM!
