Can't believe I'm doing this.... ok come and judge our name list

[NorkilyChallenged]

I've had some useful comments on another thread so here is our shortlist for baby boy due next month. We have some kind of issue/problem with every name which is why we're not able to choose (I am very fussy I accept this and we both find boy's names v hard) Do your worst

Ludovic
Wyatt
Euan
Seamus
Fraser

For info, we both really like Patrick/Paddy but can't use it as has just been used in the (close) family.

4 weeks sigh (am v impatient)

It's lovely, feel free. I see it mentioned a lot on MN but never met a real Sylvie and if this is a surprise girl, she'll be a Sylvie.

Do you know what you're having this time?

We toyed with Dominic but don't like Dom really. Find boy's names so hard...

Piie - (missed you chicken, how are you and how is DD??) Alphonse - bloody hell, I hope your DH doesn't let you anywhere near the registy office!!

NC - are you still NC even though you are almost ready to drop?? LOL

Well... you did ask....

Ludovic - WTF? No... just NO.
Wyatt - Wyatt are ya doin?
Euan - Yes, You an who?
Seamus - The only one I know is ADORABLE a really, really lovely man - but he's in his 70's so I can't really imagine a baby called Seamus?!
Fraser - No, the smelly boy at school

Dominic - thank god you don't like Dom :)

This is why I stay away from baby name threads! Honestly, if it was down to me there'd only be a dozen boys names in use!!

Good Luck

ChippingIn - thanks And yes, possibly my name is getting less appropriate, maybe I should be changing it?

Pixie - 2 girls (but can't give you names as I've already said enough to identify myself on here to any RL MNing friends/family!)

I know a 4 yo Wyatt. I think it's cool.

I like Fraser best of your list. One of Gordon Brown's sons is a Fraser. I'd be tempted to spell it with a z though. Don't know why.

Tobias?

No problem Pixie - no we've never had a boy's name so always been good to know we were having girls in the past! Good luck finding names you like this time

You're quite right BikeRunSki - Wyatt is cool. Fact

No sorry notanumber I already know a couple of Toby's and don't particularly like it

Ludovic - do you hate this baby already?!?!!
Wyatt - Kinda cool, I quite like it!
Euan - ok, kind of a nothing sort of name tho
Seamus - there's worse names. Ludovic for example....
Fraser - great scottish name, absolutely fine for a first name, and not too common. Love it!

Just my opinions!!

Piie - glad to hear you are all fine :) I can't believe you are only 12 weeks off, it only seems like last month you found out you were pregnant?!

NC - you could change it to NorkilyChallengeNoMore :) then we'd still 'know' you!

Oliver
Angus
Charlie
George

.... but I'm sure you have at least two naming books to choose from!

Seamus, Euan and Fraser are good. Please not the others.

Lucien
Sebastian

Euan and seamus both lovely. Rest - erm, not to my taste.

Euan or Seamus

Do you want other suggestions? Well in case you do, what about...

Ruari
Lachlan
Struan
Logan

I don't like any of them. Ludovic & Wyatt are especially horrid. Euan is the most conventional (will get you the least grief).

DH & I have now launched into a discussion of Wyatt Earp. He was Jewish. Are you Jewish or at least American?

I like all you choices except maybe Ludovic just reminds of the guy out of harry potter.

I love Wyatt, I am a bit of a Wyatt Earp nut and love the old west. Have met a few Wyatts, and also a few Frasers.

Actually really like fraser but wecant have it as its a best mates husbands name so a bit close for me to have it. A really strong Scots name though

Ok, if I was introduced to you and your little DS and was wearing Baby Name judgey pants, my thoughts would be . .

Ludovic - Pretentious
Wyatt - Trying waay too hard to be kool
Euan - Not my taste, always have to think twice about how to say it would prefer Eoin or Hugh for something similar
Seamus - Only name I like really , I know an adorable toddler called Seamus and think it's very cute
Fraser- snobbish unless you're Scottish in which case I give you judgement free rein to express your cultural identity

Ludovic - 'Ludo' for short. Naaah.
Wyatt - I think it's quite cool, but not sure if it would go with your other kids cos it is quite 'urban trend'. How about Jesse? In the same vein, but also authentically biblical
Euan - like this
Seamus - LOVE this (cos I know a really lovely one, but never met a non-Irish one)
Fraser - like this too. Really like 'Fraze' - so cool.

With the references to the French on this thread, I've just remembered the (possibly apocryphal) story of Woodrow Wyatt spelling out his surname as: "Waterloo, Ypres, Agincourt, Trafalgar, Trafalgar".

So perhaps a good European name after all?

Woodrow, NC? You gotta admit that Woody is a v cool nickname.

Love love love Seamus

Fraser - gorgeous, love it!
Euan - lovely, rubbish with my surname though so am a bit jealous

The other three...just, no...Ludovic? Nooooo!!!!
