Boys Name final decision time

[Beseen19]

I'm in early labour with DS no 2 and cannot decide.

We have a Seth but don't want another bible name as our immediate family is beginning to resemble a Sunday School class .
We are both Scottish though not living there at the moment but will return in a year or so.

Liam
Ruaridh
Jack

Please help us decide! Jack is probably my least favourite as it's very popular and we have a very common surname.

If Jack is your least favourite I’d take it off the list (I love it btw)

I vote Liam out of the remaining two names

I vote Liam

I like Ruaridh and Jack best but Liam is fine as well. I'm just a bit put off Liam because it has been very popular where I live. Ruaridh is my first choice.

Liam

Ruaidhri

Or Liam

Hope all goes well!

Ruaridh. Jack is too nicknamed. Liam is too Oasis.

Ruaridh is lovely. Hoping it may be time fo congratulations very soon!

Liam

Definitely Ruaridh. People might misspell it a lot (as they have done on this thread...) but it doesn't really matter

Liam

Please can you advise how you pronounce the first one? As I think I am going to prefer it ... oh yes just googled, like this one the best by far.

Liam goes best with Seth. Hope birth goes well x

OP Best wishes! If you're returning to Scotland and if you choose Ruairidh you might like to consider using the technically correct spelling, according to Gaelic spelling rules. That has the letter 'i' twice, on either side of the second letter 'r': Ruairidh.

Entirely up to you, of course. Some people, even in Scotland, choose to ignore those rules. But learning Gaelic is becoming more popular...

Ruaidhri

Ruaridh without a doubt

Ruaridh.

Liam

Liam - nice but got overused
Ruaridh - spelling and pronunciation issues. Rory is easier.
Jack - overused. John is nicer.

I prefer Ruaridh. For me the other names have had their day.

Liam all the way if you're really not keen on Jack. He'll never have to hear his name mangled in pronunciation or patiently spell it out every time.

Liam is lovely.

Ruaridh . It goes well with Seth. Where I live, Jack and Liam were very popular about 15-20 years ago.

Ruaridh

Ruairidh, spelled properly, see florascotia2's post above. Or Liam. I love both.
