Roscoe.

posh but not pretentious
unusual but not wtf
quirky like 0 and 0
Scottish

Lysander is nice but a bit poetic. I see his long fingers and think how beautiful they must look playing the piano. I bet he always carries foolscap and a biro around, to jot down his thoughts.

Campbell is ok. Bit too soupy for me! sorry. I don't like Erin for the same reason.

If not Roscoe, then Bruce (after Parry not springsteen) and Donald or Victor. Victor not Scottish, but it has a lot of good attitute. Not bad attitude!

Did you go off Grey short for Gregor?

oh dizzy no to all the above for various reasons.

Maybe I should just call it John.
(not)

frazzledoldbag · 09/03/2009 22:42

Boys names are soooooo hard. Although I suspect maybe 3rd baby names are tricky anyway?

oh frazzle, you must be near me kind of them

gosh you're a toughy to please!

Fyffe?!

frazzledoldbag · 09/03/2009 22:36

nope dizzy really, really sorry but I know one already and wouldn't really want to 'copy' as it is quite unusual and it's also the name of DH's old school. Would just be too weird.
10/10 for trying though, I can see why it might have been a winner!

dizzydixies · 09/03/2009 22:34

Harris!!

there, Harris

fabulous

frazzledoldbag · 09/03/2009 22:15

Lawrence is on my (long) list already but I'm a bit er, lukewarm over it.
God, sorry I'm just rubbish aren't I? Another girl would have been so much easier to name............I've never been able to 'do' boys names.

dizzydixies · 09/03/2009 22:12

Lawrie?

frazzledoldbag · 09/03/2009 22:10

Can't do Struan - it's a best friends favorite and she'd go in a big huff if I 'stole' it.
Ronnie - don't like
Dougal - it's ok, but does make me think of the Magic Roundabout dog.
Sorry dizzy

dizzydixies · 09/03/2009 22:08

Ronnie
Struan
Dougal

frazzledoldbag · 09/03/2009 22:05

Nah, not Howard. Makes me think of Howards Way (am I showing my age now?)
I like Nairn from dizzies list.
But guess what, DH doesn't.
He only likes Hamish and Rory. To which I say 'NO'.
There must be something out there we can agree on. Surely?

dizzydixies · 09/03/2009 21:22

sniffy I can't say I'm keen on Howard but loving Howie

SniffyHock · 09/03/2009 21:09

That's what I was thinking - Howie for short

MsBeauregarde · 09/03/2009 21:05

I like Howard. HOwie too.

SniffyHock · 09/03/2009 20:51

What do you think of Howard? I am really struggling for a boy's name and that popped out of a book at me yesterday.

Fimbo · 09/03/2009 20:46

I think Harland would be shortened to Harley. I love Callan (if dd had been a ds that was on the shortlist)

First time I've posted on a 'name' thread btw, am actually blushing here (must be shy!)
