His rules include:

No Js
No Hs
No name of any living relative so no David, Robert, Alexander
Ideally Scottish
Ideally something we can shorten but nothing too long (don't even get me started on the stupidity of this demand)

He's driving me demented.

I was going to suggest Harris...Short version of Harrison & Scottish but he doesn't like H
Me & my oh had a big battle picking out my lbs name but you will get there in the end.Its annoying when you really really like something but they disagree!
You will agree eventually :)

Longish, but only two syllables and easy to shorten.

These are great! Lots of names I really like but you need to keep them coming because DH still won't take any of these. At this rate the baby will just be called "Hey you"!

Patrick.(I know it's not Scottish, but it is Celtic, and fulfils his other requirements, and it's a fab name!

DonnyOsmondsTeeth · 16/07/2013 09:39

Get him to come up with suggestions if he's so fussy!

This would drive me mad to be honest. I've never heard of such demands before and I meet lots of new dads! There's some great ones on here.
