Tristan, Kit and Lawrence...?? Brave or just plain silly...!!

[Highlandgirl]

Hi,

I've been banging on to DH about calling DC is DS..Hamish. DH isn't keen He wants James...! Go figure it's the same name..just Scottish vs England...
Anyway...on my brave list I had Tristan, Kit and Lawrence...DH has returned to me suggesting Tristan...Hurrah we are making headway..

What do you think?

Three syllable surname, starting with 'M'

Still pushing for Kit (for me this is super brave) and Lawrence.

Thanks,

I've already got a thread running ' DH's Boys Name's'. So sorry to trouble you all again...DC due in 6 weeks so you'll get rid of me then!!!

Kit can be short for Kester[an old form of Christopher]

Lance is an alternative shortening for Lawrence (we had a family friend called Lance). I'd avoid names that have obvious nns that I really disliked though. I really like Kit but not as a proper name. I don't think that any of the names you are talking about are particularly 'brave', and honor is lovely. Are you expecting twins and need combinations? Not sure that Kit and Honor quite work, although I'm not generally one for matching names I think that a slightly longer name would be better.

We're considering Kit so I'd vote that. I don't like Christopher either (though Kester is ace, thanks pranma). I actually like all of them, though Kit and Lawrence the most. I'm never sure how I feel about the notion of 'proper names'. Before I was pregnant I was very much a 'call your child what you like', but now I am I kind of want to give the kid a few options...

If Kit goes really well with your surname then you should just call him that!

I like thinking of the full name as a package, especially for boys as they are less likely to change it when married.

Also consider if the full name is masculine enough as I know there are a few Kitty's being born.

Hello!

Nooka no we aren't having twins...! Goodness not sure i could name 2 children at once...
LittleMsH I like 'proper names' too hence why I'm a bit put off by Kit, but it's just soooo cool.

Not keen on Kester or Lance at all...!

DH has asked me to drop the DS names until DC arrives..I think were having a boy and DH thinks after fussing about DS names it will be a girl..no doubt he'll be right, sods law!

At this rate it will be James...which is a fine name
