Love it. It's my DS name and he is bloody gorgeous!

MyCatIsAStupidBastard · 06/07/2012 20:42

And I have never had anyone pull a face over it. In fact everyone comments on what a lovely name it is.

ProcrastinationAteMyMorning · 06/07/2012 20:42

Fantastic!

DO use it.

DottieRose · 06/07/2012 20:51

I already have a ds called Eli do you think these names would go well together??

Great name, and Eli and Hamish sound fine together.

stleger · 06/07/2012 20:53

I love Hamish and Angus. Is Eli short or Elijah?

AlpinePony · 06/07/2012 20:57

Love it.

Haemadoots · 06/07/2012 21:13

Love it :)

AnnaNimitty · 06/07/2012 21:14

What drugs are you on? How does Eli and Hamish go together. One is Hebrew the other is Scottish!

AlphabetiSpaghetti · 06/07/2012 21:15

Love it. Eli and Hamish are fab together, ignore above. Rude.

OhBuggerandArse · 06/07/2012 21:17

You do know Hamish isn't technically a real name?

Geranium3 · 06/07/2012 21:17

i had a very special guinea piggy when i was a child called hamish and he was a star with a big personality so go for it!!!!

freerangeeggs · 06/07/2012 21:32

It is a real name now, BuggerandArse. It gets used all the time. I don't think there's much point in trying to stop that - kind of like pissing in the wind.

At what point does something become a 'real' name, anyway? It's all just pendantry, really.

FWIW, I know a few boys named Hamish. I think it's relatively normal these days.

freerangeeggs · 06/07/2012 21:32

... and lovely :)

Kveta · 06/07/2012 21:37

also know a few, and think it's a lovely name :)

stleger · 06/07/2012 21:56

Why is Hamish not technically a name? And I like Eli too, it is cool Smile.

MyCatIsAStupidBastard · 06/07/2012 22:21

eh? Not a name?

What on earth shall I call the lad now he doesn't 'technically' have a name.

Poor boy Sad

PerfectStranger74 · 06/07/2012 22:25

Love it. Really, really love it.

Wish I'd not let Ex DP have a say...
