What are you first impressions of....

Hamish?

THINK this might be the one for our DS due soon. I was going to explain the reasons why we've tentatively chosen it, but I actually would be more interested in your initial reaction to it without knowing anything else. Would you make any assumptions about the child/adult carrying this name and does it give you any pre-conceived ideas about them?

Hamish is an AWESOME name. But then again, I am Scottish!

It's a great name and actually quite popular here in Australia. I'd assume Scottish roots somewhere in the family.

I really like it, reminds me of home, very popular in nz

DH is half Scottish with a Scottish name, but went to a posh indie school and has a plummy Southern English accent. Nobody queries why he has a Scottish name outwardly - he doesn't have to explain his name iyswim.

I love Hamish, it would be on my list if I had Scottish roots. Go for it!
