now that I'm actually pregnant, are these crap?

[snapcrunch]

Possible names for DC2 if a boy...2 syllable surname.

Middle name is family name. :)

Ross Allan
Jacob Allan
Joseph Allan
Nicholas Allan
Elliot Allan (like Elliot and although these two a bit of a mouthful, they wouldn't get used all together much)

Would quite like a Scottish name, but struggling to pick ones I like that aren't someone I know or remind me of someone annoying!

All lovely - but Joseph Allan especially so. Sounds like a young man who will go far .

Damn, I wish I could convince DH on it! I always liked the name but couldn't convince him for DS. I think he thinks it's too biblical or something

thanks :)

Oops, forgot to say in OP suggestions for other things which might go well with Allan welcome. :)

Nicholas wins for me.

I like all of them apart from Ross and Nicholas.

I like all the first names except Ross. I think Elliot Allan has too much double L though. Nicholas Allan flows nicely.

Love Ross.

Murray is a lovely scottish name

Angus
Fergus
Duncan
Alexander
Greg(or)(y)
Hamilton
Kyle
Niall
James
Hamish

ooh ooh

Scott?

Murray - love it but know one so can't really copy!
Angus - not so keen
Fergus - quite like but not sure
Duncan - like but know an extremely annoying Dunc.
Alexander - don't like.
Greg(or)(y) - annoying Gregor at school puts me off a bit!
Hamilton - too surnamey.
Kyle - not keen.
Niall - ditto
James - have seriously considered this one, just not sure...
Hamish - like but just not right.

ooh ooh

Scott? love it but know loads, including one at the bottom of my street.

thanks all and sorry for taking so long to reply. had to change name a bit but it's still me :)

I like all the names, but Joseph

Like all of them, Ross is my favourite.

I like Ross from your original list but 2 x 2 syllable names seem to flow better, like Joseph Allan, so now I trying to work out why James Allan goes nicely!

DS is Alan Stuart if that helps!

Joseph Allan my fav

Innes
Donald
Struan
Stuart
Finlay

I shall be the odd one out and say that while too much of one letter is usually bad somehow Elliot Allan really does work.

Puts me in mind of those rare combinations like Clark Kent which break all the rules but somehow work beautifully.

Blair
Fraser
Fergus
Struan
Ruairidh
calum

I really want Rory Alan for my, as yet unconceived, potential future son. (Alan is my brother's name, and we have an Uncle Alan, I'd like to continue the tradition but Alan doesn't go with my married surname)

From your list I love Joseph and Elliot.

I too like Joseph and Elliot the best and think they both go nicely with Allan.

I like them all except for Nicholas, Ross and Elliot are my favourites x

Joseph, Nicholas and Elliott are very nice, not a bit crap.

Douglas
Campbell
Leslie
Moray
Lewis
Coinneach (Kenneth)

Nicholas Allen is great! I also don't think Elliot Allen is too much of a mouthful :)

Elliot or Jacob are my fave

can i borrow you all to convince DH of my taste in names not being too bad?

glaikit (like the name!) and Jenny, will get back to you on suggestions when I'm not on my phone. :)
