Boys names

[Strubo]

We are struggling with a name for this baby! The shortlist is
Ruaridh
Calum
Callan
Alistair
Lewis
Ben

What's your favourite/least favourite? Or what else might I like that I haven't thought of!

I love Ruaridh and it's closely followed by Callan, which is also lovely.

Ben is a bit meh to me, but only because I know loads of them.

I don't like Alistair, Callum or Lewis very much at all. Just personal taste really.

I like Ruaridh, Calum and Alistair.

Ruaridh
Ben
Calum

My favourite is Callum :-)

How do you pronounce Ruaridh? Sorry if that's a stupid question, it isn't a name I've come across before.

Ruaridh (my nephew's name) is gorgeous. I also love Alistair

It's usually pronounced Roo-a-ree where I'm from. Love the name

I like Callum and Alistair best.

Other suggestions:

Keir
Struan
Gregor
Kerr
Fraser
Cormac
Innes
Nicol

Thank you carelesswonder! :-)

It's pronounced Roo-ree. It's my favourite but I worry about people spelling it. wankers I already have a Struan! (That's probably outed me, it's not that common).

I like Alistair

Ben is a little dull and overused these days imo

I only like Ben. I love Louis but can't stand Lewis. Even though its the same name

I like Alistair best.

Great list.

Favourites are Ben and Lewis.

The only name I dislike is Callum (probably due to Callum Best).

Ah. :o Probably outs me too as it was my favourite given that it's a traditional name in my "clan" but DH veto'd it :(

I think I'll stick with my original choices of Calum or Alastair to go with Struan. I thinks those sound nicest together from your options.

Most of my suggestions go well though :o

I'd also add:

Nairn
Lorne
Cairn

wankers I love Nairn but the DH and DC hate it and keep taking the piss out of me for suggesting it.

I love Callan, but have only known of girls called it (think it's lovely as boys' name, though).

Strubo. Clearly we are a match made in heaven, we should ditch these DHs and have a family of properly named children ourselves! :o

I used to know a little girl Nairn.

Callan

I really like Calum spelled this way

Sophronia thank you. I like it that way much better than with a double L for some reason.

wankers I often think having a wife would be the answer to many of life's difficulties, we could look into some sort of commune perhaps, with only well named children allowed.
