Boys name help!

[sarah13xx]

Me again 🙋🏼‍♀️😂 please help (again). We’ve been going round in circles with this list of names:

Harris - always been our favourite but it’s suddenly at number 6 in Scotland when we go to have a baby! Was really hoping for something less popular
Kit - I love this name, my partner likes it but might take a bit more convincing. I’m a teacher and there’s a Kit at my school. Today another adult heard his name for the first time and said ‘Kit? I thought that was a girls name’. I was 99% convinced this was the name but I’m now doubting it too!
Jenson - this is almost at number 200 on the Scottish list for 2020 (only 23 born last year) but this week I heard there is a baby in our town called it 🤦🏼‍♀️
Fergus - it’s at number 104. My partner loves this name. I like it and think it would depend what he looked like whether he’d suit it.

Thoughts or any other suggestions? Really just want to settle on something now!

Lachlan or Rory

Carson
Evan
Torren
Hudson
Magnus

Ellis? Similar vibe to Harris

Struan
Cormac

From yours I like Kit best but as a nn for Christopher or Christian

Absolutely love Ellis but know an Ellis 😕

From your list I would go with Kit or Harris.

Harris by a long way or what about Harrison

Both becoming popular though.

I really like Fergus, I’m surprised it’s not more popular in Scotland actually. Harris is lovely too but it’s a shame it’s so popular now. Maybe Lewis or Cormac?

That’s my top two I think but the comment about Kit today has made me a bit wary. Harris is way more popular than Kit here, the one at my school is the only one I know

I like it too, would be nice because it’s a bit different. I know, just feel like a top 10 name is a bit obvious 😕 I do like Lewis too but there’s quite a few baby Lewis’

Fergus by far, thank DH is right.

Love Harris and Fergus.

Alternatives:
Duncan
Douglas
Logan
Hamish

I'd go for Kit or Fergus.

Forget the popularity. Which one is your favourite if no one else had used it. Why shouldn't your baby have your favourite name?

Pick your favourite. You may know one or two with it but you’ve no control over how many you may hear of a name after you’ve named your baby it. So if you pick your second or third favourite because it is rarer then two weeks after having him hear of another baby with the same name, you’ll have given up your more loved name for nothing.

Kit is a boy’s name. Don’t let the comment put you off if this is the one for you.

Love Kit

Why would someone think Kit is a girl name? Look at the statistics that makes no sense. I think it was a joke maybe

Thanks 😊 this is very true! If I had gone with this attitude at the start I would have just chosen Harris like we said we would but now I really do like Kit as well because I’ve spent so long debating it 🙈

Yeah I know, I think maybe the Kitty thing but I personally have never heard of a girl called it 🤔 I hadn’t heard the name Kit before Colleen Rooney used it and in combination with her other ‘K’ names I wasn’t overly fussed on it but since meeting a Kit I actually do really like it and our second name is long so I think a short first name works quite well

I would choose Kit.

Magnus instead of Fergus? Gives him the option of Max as well as Gus when he's older and has cool Scandi vibes as well as Scottish ones. Other Scots names I love are Alasdair, Fraser (bit popular?) and Laith.

Of your choices, I like Kit best - though it is quite unisex (which is why I personally prefer it with a longer version on the BC), but it's a lovely name imo.

Have you chosen a middle name yet?

I dont like Jenson but your other names are fab

Other similar names I like

Elliot
Magnus
Murray
Malachy
Cameron
Campbell
Lewis

Fergus, Fergus, Fergus! I love it.

Harris is a great name too. One of my DDs had a lovely friend called Harris when she was little so I gave very positive associations with it.

I like Kit but it's quite trendy so I wonder if it will date.

Elliot and Murray are in my top 10 too! Murray I’ve kind of ruled out though because it sounds a bit like our second name
