Can we have Hamish?

[Eminybob]

Dc2 is on the way.

For a boy we like Hamish but... we have a Scottish surname starting McC, however we are not Scottish (well only via FIL) and live in England, so is Hamish McC... too Scottish for a none Scottish child?

It'll be fine I think, Hamish is gorgeous. If anyone challenges his Scottish credentials upon hearing his name, that's your warning that they're a bit of a tool.

Ha, that is true.

It does make me think of Hamish Macbeth, but I’m probably the last in the line of people to remember that reference

Love Hamish. Ds2 has a scottish name, our link is tenuous to say the least

Here is my Hamish, a stunning boy, so crack on op - it's a truly outstanding name!!

Aw I’m glad people like it. I think I’m overthinking it.

The only other name I like as much is Harry, but we definitely cant have that as ds is William!

April your Hamish is beautiful

As long as you don’t mind people thinking you named your ds after a polar bear cub!

I think it might be a very sweet name for a baby boy

What polar bear cub? I’ve missed that one.

Aww I’ve just googled. He is very cute.
Tbf though this baby isn’t due until November I doubt Hamish the polar bear will be at the forefront of people’s minds by then.

Go for it, it's a lovely name.

Ah Scottish polar bear called Hamish?? Going in August!!

Love Hamish!

Hamish is a great choice !
April, love your totally gorgeous boy.

It's fine

One of our horses is called Hamish. He’s a lovely chap, and it’s a great name.

Love love love Hamish. Oh said no
DC2 is a girl.... So I can't use it anyway

I love the name

Definitely use Hamish!! I wasted it on the dog otherwise it would have been my boy name for this baby.

I much prefer Harry to Hamish tbh. Don't really like the name Hamish, not my taste. However, it's not awful.
Maybe go with what suits him best when you see him!

I think we can definately not have William and Harry!

Love Hamish. We have a five month old baby Hamish. My parents and extended family are Scots. That’s the only link. Both myself and DH are English. We loved Fraser, George and Hamish but very pleased we went for the more unusual choice - go for it!

Oh you lot have sold it for me I think. Hope it’s a boy now!

If it is a girl I think we are going for Elodie, which I do love and would have been ds’s name had he been a girl.

It’s a great name. Dd has one in her year, always sounds cool
