On my profile is a scan photo of ds2.We are really struggling with a name this time.
Ds1 is called Finlay (usually shortened to Fin- unless i'm doing my stern voice),i love unusual names (honestly, Fin was when we chose it) and steer clear of 'old' traditional names.
I would like to be able to shorten the name if possible but will consider anything.
Oh and we have a Scottish surname.
Any ideas?

I can't believe someone suggested Harlow. I mean, it is a lovely name. Unless you live in Essex.

Elliott. Don't know why. Shouldn't think it's Scottish either.

Caleb

Rory is fab (notes it down for not yet in existence no. 3)

I have Callum Elliott and Finlay Lucas. Liked Cameron too but thought it was too similar to Callum to use. Quite like Cal as a short version for older teen or man.

He looks like a Hector to me - Scottish name, both traditional and unusual!

rodg82 · 20/11/2008 21:36

I think he looks like a Luca or Lucas - not sure why really they were first names that sprung to mind when i saw pic!
