Fraser. Great name.

Agree with all the PPs that something not right about Austin Sheffield as it sounds like a car.

RoseToes · 04/11/2019 06:01

Fraser

Fraser

Would you consider Henderson?

EleanorShellstrop100 · 04/11/2019 09:31

Fraser!

MissMarpletheMurderer · 04/11/2019 09:37

F. S. Initials read to me as fucks sake. Agree about the car link.

Austin Sheffield to me is a list of cities, not a name.

I like Fraser, and don't think there's a problem with it next to Eliza.

AngelaDevon · 04/11/2019 09:59

Thank you everyone, Fraser it is. X

I like Austin better for the first name, but you could use Fraser as mn.

snidgetowl · 10/11/2019 14:21

Austin and Sheffield are both place names, so don't sound right together. Fraser is therefore better suited to the surname.

I have a Fraser and I love his name. Although non Scottish people tend to write Frazer so maybe avoid if that would bother you a lot!

MissHenty · 10/11/2019 19:30

Thanks for updating us @AngelaDevon lovely namr

AngelaDevon · 10/11/2019 19:48

Yes, despite it not going particularly well with Eliza, my 2 year old daughter, we both just love the way the name sounds. His middle names are our grandfather's, so he has quite a mixed bag! Fraser Laurie Idris Sheffield!!! I imagine I'll be calling him Fray or Fraze a lot so I'm sure it will work with Eliza the majority of the time! Thank you everyone for your input!x

We are now considering Evan as a possible and have scrapped Austin.

Are you Welsh ?

FizzyGreenWater · 18/11/2019 11:32

Ah no, stick with Fraser.

Evan and Eliza are a bit twee. And it's just too much like Heaven with a dropped h!

AngelaDevon · 18/11/2019 12:00

I'm welsh, but are loving a Scottish name, Fraser. We are british so more than happy to explore names beyond where we live.

Fraser

Proseccoinamug · 22/11/2019 23:32

Evan is great. Welsh version would be Efan.

I also thought ‘Lost in Sheffield’ but FS isntgreat as initials.

AnjGlos · 23/11/2019 08:58

His initials will be F L I S. All sorted now, thanks everyone.
