Fraser..

[BringBack1996]

..or Marcus or Douglas?

We've decided on Tamsin Margaret if DC3 is a girl but completely stuck if a boy! We've narrowed it down to either Fraser Michael, Marcus Robert and Douglas Robert but can see flaws with each name.

We would love impartial advice - can you see anything obviously wrong with any and which is your favourite?

I like the 'z' spelling, now you mention it hubba

He does usually have to say it's Frazer with a z, but I have to admit I prefer it... I'm biased though...

Were two of the flaws you found that the second name makes the initials Mr. and the third name the initials Dr.? Although I don't think those initials are flaws, they're funny if anything, especially being a Dr. from birth!

That said, Fraser is my favourite as well.

I hadn't noticed that! I also think being a doctor from birth would be great :o

Another vote for Fraser!

I'm glad it's pretty universally liked! Probably our first choice, however I like the fact that we have three so if he (or she!) doesn't look like the name we've initially chosen we have back ups :)

Thanks ladies!

DH is Fraser so I love it - I am biased though but it's a classic.

Only problem that presents itself is the spelling. People always want to call him Frasier and spell it either Frazer, Frazier or Frasier - never Fraser which is the easiest as far as I can tell!

I think it's classic and underused and definitely my favourite out of the three.

Fraser is a lovely name. Douglas is nice too. Marcus is a bit poncy, but ok-ish. Come to Scotland - there are busloads of old Frasers here!!

Love love love Fraser.

I know two grown up ones, a teenage one and a child one. No babies yet (hoping someone won't get there before me, I like it that much. Yes, I know IABU)

I think it flows best with your other DC's names too.

I like Douglas/Doug second best. Again, I know a couple of grown ups and a teenager called Doug/las.

Marcus is waaaay down the list for me. It's a bit posh-boy for my tastes, but not altogether a bad name. I think the Marcuses I know/know are just a bit, well, wet. Sorry.

I'm surprised Marcus is seen as posh, maybe Mark is seen as being less so?

Fraser. Love the name which is why dc3 is called Fraser .

Fraser is the best of the bunch. Nice Scottish name.
