We're having a baby boy! Which means, due to hubby's family tradition his middle name has to be "Alan".
surname is 3 sylables starting with Mc.... Anyone got any suggestions of first name to go with this??
Hubby and i love finlay but is only one can agree on and would like some other options!
Thanks ladies x

I second Robert. Or David.

Nothing that ends with an L - so no Michael!

Sounds daft having 'lalan' in your name.

I only mention as my ex's brother was called Dougal Alan.

Sounded like the chorus of a Bay City Rollers song - Doog-a-lalan.

Robert. Now that's a man's name.

I like Finlay.
If you´re just having the one boy, isn´t it OK that you can only agree on the one name?

Hubby & I only ever agreed on one boys name.
Good job the ext was a girl!!!

Christopher, shortened to Christy (are you an Irish Mc?)

My dad's name is Alan, FiL is Christopher, surname like yours - I've always thought Christopher Alan McXY would be a good name (as it happens I've only the one & she's a dd)
