So, my partner and I are pretty much set on baby’s name if it’s a girl but need some help with boys names.
So far, our thoughts are Alexander (although we would shorten it to Alex), Lewis, Louis or Fraser.
Opinions or further suggestions welcome please!

Alexander Louis is a great name.

chezmk1988 · 20/03/2018 22:32

I like Alexander but don't like Alex and would nn Andy (less common I know)

I like Lewis and Fraser

MerryInthechelseahotel · 20/03/2018 22:35

Harris is lovely

AdaColeman · 20/03/2018 22:35

Lewis is my favourite, with Louis a close second.

Fraser is my least favourite.

ChocolateCrunch · 20/03/2018 23:43

I like Fraser, with Alexander second. Not too keen on Lewis or Louis. Do you like Hamish, Angus, Euan or Finley?

RebeccaCloud9 · 20/03/2018 23:51

Love Fraser!

Sophronia · 21/03/2018 02:46

I like Fraser

Ickyockycocky · 21/03/2018 02:53

Alexander is a really lovely name.

user1497822943 · 21/03/2018 02:58

I love 'ordinary' names. All of your suggestions are great, I like Fraser the most but that's because I've only ever met 1 Fraser.

I like names where they aren't overly common but won't be mistaken when spelt (saying that I named my son Jack!! LolHmm)

Sugarpiehoneyeye · 21/03/2018 06:55

Fraser Louis is my favourite.

userabcname · 21/03/2018 06:59

Alexander

ReversingSnail · 21/03/2018 07:33

I like Alexander best, then Lewis. Not keen on Louis or Fraser.

BabloHoney · 21/03/2018 07:48

Fraser!! Great name. Your other choices are nice too though.

user1498549192 · 21/03/2018 11:00

Love Fraser and Alexander. I'm not keen on Louis or Lewis, but that's just personal taste, they're perfectly fine names.

I'll throw in Rory, Struan and Lachlan as alternatives.

Hurricanelily · 21/03/2018 14:28

Thanks everyone! Always good to get feedback!
I really like Euan too, actually!

Yep, not too keen on ‘unusual’ names! Plus we have a not so common surname so don’t want baby to have to spell both their first and surnames!

Love Alexander and you've then got Alex or Lex or Xander as diminutives. No to Lewis though all the one's I've met have been snotty and 'boisterous'.

MammieBear · 21/03/2018 14:45

Fraser is great, followed by Alexander then Louis in my opinion.

Arapaima · 21/03/2018 14:49

Alexander (Alex) is my favourite.
