Baby No 4 is late, presume he's decided to stay in until I've chosen a name Hmm

Alistair (Alastair) or Felix? Love both equally but both have issues. DC 1&2 have the first initial 'A' so we could potentially have 3 A names - bit weird?

Felix is raising many eyebrows and H is not entirely keen but could be persuaded.

Help!

Congratulations on your wee boy!
Out of all your names I like Alistair the best, but I might be a bit biased given the lovely Alistairs in my own family.
Its is very common in Scotland, especially in families of Highland extraction so if you plan on living up here at any point you may find yourself shouting "Alistair, come in for your tea" and having half the wee boys in the street turn up :)
I really wanted Jude for my DS but DH was horrified.
I've only really come across Felix and Jasper as the names of cats and dogs and I wouldn't be able to shake that association if I were naming a wee boy.
However, having gone to school with people with some of the most outrageous names, I've grown to think that people just sort of own their names and as long as you haven't named your child Pigdog Buckethead any of your names would be lovely.
