I have never heard of a Fraser being called Fray or Frase 😂 and I've met a few!

I like Willa and Fraser

but prefer Angus/ Fergus/ Hamish
Also... Morag?

I LOVE ailsa and fraser.

Freya and Willow!

Really don’t like Willa at all.

Don’t like Aila and Vaila.

Rest are ok.

I called my child Merlot and she goes down a treat

Sorry guys , that’s what happens when your lovely baby grows up to be a teenager and pinches your iPad! Please ignore above message

DH is Fraser and doesn't get called Fray or Frase.

He gets called Fraser.

That's just your DH Stroke.

It would definitely just be Fraser. I've also never met any who go by Fray or Frase.

I don't know any adult Frasers, but most names get shortened and there's not a lot you can do about it.

I have an Alec who turned out to very clever. He's never been called a 'Smart Alec'. He does sometimes get called Alex though. It doesn't bother him. (he's 18 now)

How do you pronounce Vaila? I’ve never seen it before but looks pretty. I know a few kids with Norse names. Girl Sigi, boys Odin and Frey

@Oneandabean
VAY-la, just as you'd expect

@HD98 I thought so but you never know. It’s lovely though.

@Oneandabean of course!
It's Norse and the name of a very small Island in Shetland. It's quite a well used name in Shetland but I don't think it's common anywhere else!

Willow, Freya,and Ewan are the names I'd choose from your list :)

Freya and Fraser! Both fantastic names

I like Freya and Lewis the best from your names.

Never seen Vaila before but I quite like that name too.

Freya, Ailsa and Vaila from the girls' list.

I like all the boys' names although I prefer Alex to Alec.

I really like them all except for Ewan. Alec, Aila and Willow are my favourites.

ooh I like Willa- makes me think of Willa Cather
