Morning everyone

I have a llitle boy called Ellis and i am expecting number 2 (also a boy) in August. We are having a hard time choosing a name. We like unusal but not too out there. We have come up with Fraser, Fletcher and maybe Austin (I am not that keen on Austin) Does anyone have any thoughts on those names or any inspiration? Thanks in advance!

Just commenting to say a big, fat no to Fletcher. I know a couple who recently named their son this and it has caused a lot of "Fletcher? Fletch? Like in 'Porridge'?" Comments. This has been said by everyone who has heard the name. It's seems to be everyone's go-to association.

From your list I like Austin best, although will admit to not loving surname names in general.

I wouldn't mind that association personally! And that will not be the association in their peer group, just with parents, so how it will affect them I'm not sure

I know an Austin, but if you aren't keen I would stick to your guns. Fraser is nice :)

I like Fletch from Porridge but still not keen on Fletcher.. Maybe because it sounds like retch??

Austin is fine, but not if you don't like it.

Fraser is great and goes well with Ellis.

I like Fraser best from your list. I know a dog called Austin named after Austin Powers so that puts me off!

Fergus and Douglas are nice and go well with Ellis imo.

I like all of them, Fraser, Fletcher, Austin in that order, and really like your choice of Ellis as first name btw!

I would add Raphael (Raph), Harrison and Orson to the list too. Edson is also really nice but probably a bit twee with Ellis.

Fraser is by far the nicest on your list and goes really well with Ellis - two really nice, slightly unusual but familiar and easy to say/spell names.

Don't like the other two at all.

How about Spencer, Rory, Tristan, Simon?

Fraser with Ellis as they're both islands

1. Austin
2. Fletcher
3. Fraser

Fraser, it goes well with Ellis.

Archer?

Really not keen on Fletcher.

Fraser is nice.

Austin a bit bleugh.

I do like Austin as it's a form of Augustine, so appropriate for an August birthday.

Ah thanks so much All, really great to get so many responses! I didnt think about the Porridge connection! and the Austin Powers connection it really made me laugh. I think Fraser is the clear winner. ;o)

Boys names are very difficult aren't they.
I like Fraser
What about
Obie (oh-bee)
Brandon
Gabriel
Harlow
Layton
Parker

I like Fraser best. What about:
Harrison
Spencer
George
Logan
Zac
Bryce
Michael
Reilly
Rhys
Blake
Dylan

I like all those names; love Ellis!
I think Fraser goes best.

Or how about:
Dexter
Rafferty
Maxwell
Drew
Nate
Xander
Tobias
Dominic
Wilson
Ashton
Tate
Drake
Zane
Marcus
Heath
Jake

Dexter was on my list as was Zac, OH said no! Boo!

Thanks loads for all the suggestions everyone

I like Fraser best. Ellis and Fraser were both on our lists but our boys are called Flynn and Seth.

I love Fraser, would be on our list but my friend has one.
