Ewart?

Baby is going to be here Friday if all goes to plan with induction. Did have our name sorted if it was going to be a boy which was Kester but husband has done a u turn and think it clashes with our surname which is the same as a very famous comedian whose first name is billy.

So we have thought of Ewart tonight.

What are peoples thoughts on the name.

It's very unusual I've never heard it before. To be honest first thing that comes to mind is a variation of Stuart/Stewart.
I honestly prefer Kester and if the comedian is "the big man" himself in think that sounds fine!

Tbh, thinking ahead, kids can be cruel so I'd probably avoid anything with, 'Ew!', 'Wart' or, 'Ewww! Wart!' There are a hundred names that could be based on Ewart and none of them are kind.

Wyatt?

Ah it's okay, you're pregnant so pregnancy
it is Grin

I personally don't like it, but it does go well with your surname.
If you don't like the two hard consonants, then what about Lester? It's the same sound but without the K.

nickelbabe · 06/12/2015 22:39

Yes, along the lines of Ewart are:
Wyatt, stuart/stewart, everett/evert/everard, edward, edmund/edmond, eael or ayleward

nickelbabe · 06/12/2015 22:39

Shit, Earl not eael

Hi, we're moving this thread over to our Baby Names topic now.

fanjodisfunction we hope it all goes smoothly on Friday. Smile Flowers

Maevetherave1980 · 06/12/2015 23:24

Good luck for Friday...I think Ewart will be misheard as Stewart. How about Euan

AvaCrowder · 06/12/2015 23:31

I second the good wishes and lovely cuddles with a new born.

I prefer Stuart or Euan. I've never heard of Ewart as a name, I live overseas, hang out in the Irish pub, so Cian I like.

Have fun with your baby!

Sophronia · 06/12/2015 23:31

Kester is much nicer and sounds fine with the surname.

How about Stewart or Ewan?

mellicauli · 06/12/2015 23:34

"What's you name?"
"Ewart"
"you what?"
"Ewart"
"Stewart?"
"Ewart"
"STEWART?"

lljkk · 06/12/2015 23:40

pmsl @ Mellicauli.

Just no, to OP, No to Ewart. I know boy names are tough, but you can do this. Keep working on it.

y0rkier0se · 06/12/2015 23:43

Dislike Ewart. Euan is nice though! Good luck for FridaySmile

celtictoast · 06/12/2015 23:44

I haven't head of Ewart and don't like it. How about Ewan, Evan, Stuart?

Kester and Kit seem to be the trendy nicknames for Christopher at the moment but I much prefer just Chris.

cocacola1006 · 06/12/2015 23:45

U wart is all I hear sorry :/

GilbertBlytheWouldGetIt · 06/12/2015 23:50

E-Wart
That's what they'd call him in high school.

Kester's much nicer! Or Euan, Lachlan, even Stewart (a fine classic name).

IoraRua · 07/12/2015 07:28

I just see Ew Wart. Nope. Not a fan.

ThreeRuddyTubs · 07/12/2015 07:32

Please don't do that to your tiny little baby...it's not even a name that would suit a grown man more it's just horrible

Sofiria · 07/12/2015 08:11

I'm sorry, all I can see there is 'wart.' It's just too prominent. Stuart is much better, if you want something similar-sounding.

lastqueenofscotland · 07/12/2015 10:25

I thought wart and then thought it sounds a bit like Ewok...

OTheHugeManatee · 07/12/2015 10:42

I see Ewart and think 'you what?'.

Sorry Grin

aoife24 · 07/12/2015 10:54

I like it and don't foresee issues around 'ew Wart' etc. It's a Scottish surname, quite distinct from Stuart, and there is a tradition of using surnames as for names here. I do prefer Kester though and really, it's fine with your surname.

Iliveinalighthousewiththeghost · 07/12/2015 15:06

No not a fan, sorry. However I think it's the spelling as apose to the pronunciation. It just looks like Eee Wart to me. IYSWIM. How about an alternative spelling such as Euart.

fanjodisfunction · 08/12/2015 10:36

I think I'm going off it now, I really like kester but it means Christopher and dh has a brother called this and we'll we don't get on. So I'm going off kester too.

I really like

Innes
Magnus
Boyd
Reid

My DS is called Lachlan so needs to go with that.

mydogeatsnutstoo · 08/12/2015 10:48

Don't like Ewart but see you have been put off now! Kester is lovely. Innes is lovely too and these both go well with Lachlan.

What about Rowan, Nairn, Fraser.
