The choice is between....

Saul Nealan Williams

or

Fraser Ellis Williams

After weeks of debate these are the two we are finally left with. We both like the names equally, so just curious to see which out of the two (if you dont like either, no need to post to say so) you prefer.

Fraser is a family name, as is Ellis. Saul is a name we just like and Nealan is after my dad. I am, and baby will be, scottish.

I was going to say Fraser Nealan but I see you have now decided!
Good luck!

Thanks ladies, 8 days to go and we have settled on Fraser Nealan Ellis Williams. Long I know, but it flows really nicely, we are very happy with it

Fraser

LOVE Saul and, since my friend had a little boy of that name, I'm also quite partial to Fraser. Since I'm not keen on either middle name, I'd be tempted to suggest Fraser Saul Williams.

Fraser Nealan Ellis Williams.

Fraser Ellis

Jamieandhismagictorch · 11/02/2010 13:06

I like both, but on balance I think

Fraser, as it goes better with surname

pixiestix · 11/02/2010 12:25

Fraser Ellis Nealan is FAB!!

vitapulchra · 11/02/2010 12:21

Saul conjours up the biblical king for me--I wouldn't be able to get past it.

CillySunt · 08/02/2010 12:45

Saul Nealan

wubblybubbly · 08/02/2010 12:42

FEW isn't offensive at all, but I'd be tempted to stick another consonant in there before or after the Ellis.

Fraser Nealan Ellis?
Fraser Ellis Nealan?

DS has four names, 1st after my Dad, 2nd after DH, 3rd my surname, 4th DH surname.

I love Saul.

SoupDragon · 07/02/2010 21:06

Fraser Ellis flows better than Saul Nealan.

I was also going to suggest Fraser Nealan.

thanks folks, I think we probably will just keep both in mind and see which suits him best when he is born. We really do love both names, too hard to choose between them. I did wonder about the initials spelling FEW...but I cant really think of anything negative about that at the moment.

I like Ellis.

wubblybubbly · 07/02/2010 20:23

prefer Fraser, but the initials spell FEW, that might sound odd

Heated · 07/02/2010 20:19

Saul Nealan

PollyTechnique · 07/02/2010 20:18

Both lovely, but I prefer Fraser Ellis.

Best wishes.

Wolfblass · 07/02/2010 20:17

Oooh i really like both Names

Saul was on our shortlist when i was pg with DD

So my vote is for Saul, as when i said Fraser it just reminded me of Frasier the American Sitcom!

Good luck with the new arrival xx

ChickenInABasket · 07/02/2010 20:16

Wait till he arrives and see which suits him best
