Hamish or Gilbert?

[JinCa]

As a baby brother for sister Margot? Which name do you prefer?

Hamish is lovely. Gil is nice too but not Gilbert, it's a lot of name to be saddled with. Also I know a really creepy old man called Mr Gilbert which is obvs totally irrelevant to you but it really puts me off the name!

Hamish - beefy chap with a woolly jumper and boots. Probably a vet or tree surgeon.

Gilbert - skinny fella with a black polo-neck. Probably a jazz musician or architect.

Gil - the sexy fish in Finding Nemo.

I only like Hamish or Gil.

Hamish

I knew a Gilbert and I thinks it's rare and he really suited it! He was a grown man when I met him - nicknames varied from G, Gil and Bert. I got Gilbert

I think Gilbert is pretty cool. I like Gil and Bert/ie as nn.

Hamish is ok if a bit boring and I know so many four legged ones!

I am biased as I have a Hamish, but it's such a great name. He is Mishy for 'short'.

Lots of Hamish's in middle class Scotland. Very popular.

Definitely middle class Scotland here although Hamish wasn't even top 50 the year mine was born, so not that popular.

Neither! They conjure up images of old beardy blokes with red faces.

I like Gilbert. Gil is great for short too.

Used to know a dog called Hamish, he was Hames or Hamy for short.
