I'm wavering now

For our second boy I suggested Cameron, I absolutely loved it.
(We are in Scotland and our first is Arthur).
My husband came round to it and was totally set on it and started referring to baby as Cameron
But now the more he said it, it just doesn't feel right. I have no idea why I have gone off it.

I asked him to consider other names and I've been suggesting a fair amount but he says no to them
I think he just has Cameron set in his mind.
He told me last night that he suggested Albert, Malcolm and another name I've forgotten but I don't like Malcolm..I did say I quite liked Albert to which DH told me I apparently said I hated it when he first suggested it a few months ago🤦

So Albert or Cameron....what would you choose?!

Thanks for all your suggestions. :)

Robert is my husband's name so we wouldn't use it again.

didn't know Ben meant younger son/brother! I like it more now :)

Yes we would deffo call Cameron "Cammie". We know one who is absolutely lovely and he is called Cammie

Cameron is lovely!

Meant to say we have a very short last name so I don't think short first names go very well

See maybe I just need to say Cameron a few more time and maybe I'll come round to it again. Because it was me who absolutely loved it and talked my husband into it!

Cameron

I love Cameron - DS2 would've been Cameron if there hadn't been another one born just down the road about six weeks before he arrived Smile Calum seems the obvious alternative? I've always liked Cal as a nickname.

JasonMomoasgirlfriend · 13/09/2021 21:30

I definitely don't like Calum or Campbell etc no idea why!

But the response on here is making me feel like coming round to Cameron again

Hamish, love it!

JasonMomoasgirlfriend · 15/09/2021 15:58

Lol dh suggested Hamish but when I said it out loud he immediately said no.
Also our last name wouldn't go with it. It would sound like a hairy oxter.
