Gabriel, Ralph or Hamish?
Just that really.
To go with siblings Archie and Margot. (We have Scottish parents.) Months to go but not getting any closer to a decision! Thanks.

Hamish

Hamish. Definitely.

SuperBeagle · 02/08/2017 05:53

Hamish.

Gabriel

Gabriel
Hamish
Ralph

In order of preference.

Gabriel.
It's the nicest name and also goes better with the other two.
Or you could wait until the baby is here to decide which name suits him best.

Gabriel - I prefer the name of the three and it goes best with the other two. Hamish just reminds me of ham and Ralph reminds me of Ralph wiggum.

Evangeline3 · 02/08/2017 06:29

Gabriel

FairfaxAikman · 02/08/2017 06:54

Are you pronouncing Ralph as Rayfe or Rahlf?

Love it if the former, hate the latter.

Jooni · 02/08/2017 07:08

I like Ralph, quite like Gabriel, dislike Hamish.

Guccibelt · 02/08/2017 07:10

Hamish
Gabriel

Not Ralph

jennymac31 · 02/08/2017 07:11

Hamish.

Gabriel
Hamish

Not Ralph (am I the only who associates this name with a penis from a Judy Blume book?!)

dowhatyouwish · 02/08/2017 07:20

Gabriel

marmitecrumpets · 02/08/2017 07:22

Gabriel

WhingingTulip · 02/08/2017 07:28

Hamish. And I also thought of Judy Blume in relation to Ralph! Rapidly followed by The Simpsons character.

Sophronia · 02/08/2017 07:32

Hamish or Ralph

Sophronia · 02/08/2017 07:32

I don't think Gabriel goes with the other two

Raines100 · 02/08/2017 07:39

Hamish

auntym · 02/08/2017 07:45

Gabriel is lovely but for me, it doesn't fit quite as well with the style of your other names as Hamish. Ralph sounds too much like like a dog barking, which would put me off. So on balance, I'd go with Hamish.

StarHeartDiamond · 02/08/2017 07:45

I like Gabriel the best but Gamush probably "goes with" the other two better.

However, as a child myself given a less pretty name because it "went with" my elder siblings I'd say pick the best name whether it goes with or not. Your siblings are individuals and "goes together" names are only for the parents whilst the children are small.

KoalaDownUnder · 02/08/2017 07:46

Hamish - by a long way
Gabriel - second

Hate Ralph

StarHeartDiamond · 02/08/2017 07:46

*Hamish!

ThroughThickAndThin01 · 02/08/2017 07:48

Hamish

CatInTheMat · 02/08/2017 07:49

Hamish, I love it and goes very well with your other dcs.
