Fergus - is it really middle class??!!

[Janus]

Really this is because after 3 children together we just got married at the weekend and we are expecting he 4th in April. My maiden name was Ferguson so it's a small way of nearly keeping it alive!!
Slightly worried though that everyone will view child as very middle class with ruddy cheeks and orange hair!! What do you think?
I like Finn too but think that is now quite popular.
We have 3 girls so far so quite likely to be another girl but this thread is just incase!!

OK, should have asked dh first, he doesn't like the name!! How dare he?!
Back to Finn for the mo then.

How about Ferdia, Fiach, or Fiacra, Irish names, easy to pronounce (FER-dee-a, FEE-uch [ch as in Scottish loch] FEE-uh-cra). Or Fintan.

Finn is popular but only because of Fin/Finn/Finlay/Finley/Finegan/Finnian/Fintan etc. You add them all up, there are quite a lot of Finns.

But it's a really lovely name.

I like it and think it's Scottish not middle class. I don't see the 'Fungus' thing...you have to change 2 letters and the whole sound of the word, it doesn't even rhyme!

I love it! And we share similar tastes I have a Finn and a Fergus!

Don't think it's middle class at all! I always thought it was scottish not Irish? I love Scottish boys names. Congrats on your baby x

Just for Halloween - a ZOMBIE thread!!

Not MC but the 3 Fergus' I know are all red headed and ruddy cheeked (Irish)

I like it.

I don't think its particularly MC. I really like Gus as a nn, though I prefer Angus to Fergus.

My OH is called Fergus. Just asked him if he was ever referred to as Fungus & he replied “just the once, he never said it again ”

Ah! Fergus/Finn must be nearly 7!!

Wondered why Seeker was on thread.

Ignore your husband, Fergus is a lovely name.

LTB and name your child Fergus.

I love Fergus! I always suggest it to people here and I'd love it if someone actually used it.

The Fergus I know is firmly working class.

The other Fergus I know is a British shorthair cat.

I don't like it.
