There are 2 Henry's in the local primary school although I agree it's not traditionally a scottish name. Can't use Harry. Really dislike zander as a nn.

4 Christopher

I only like those ones, but I really like them.

ratethesenames · 15/06/2020 21:43

So I took off the least popular, then DH and I vetoed various names (he vetoed Matthew and Luke Sad)

We're left with Andrew and Adam.

I really prefer Matthew but he hates it.

AteAllTheAfterEights · 15/06/2020 21:49

I’d go for Adam of those two. Especially with current Prince Andrew news.

My favourite was Alexander then Ross

ratethesenames · 15/06/2020 21:55

I’d go for Adam of those two. Especially with current Prince Andrew news.

Would that really enter people's heads though? Surely it's such a common name that it wouldn't be associated with him?
Adam is growing on me at least.

Could you let DS1 have the casting vote? We did (having whittled the names down to about five choices).
