Which boy name - help, he's nearly here!

[CloseYourMouthLynn]

Hi,

I'm due a baby boy next week and we still haven't picked a name. My husband has Scottish heritage and so a couple of the names are influenced by that. His middle name will be Wentworth as it is a family name and our surname begins with H.

Options so far are:

Vincent
Brandon
Conrad
Reuben
Kieran
Cameron
Fraser
Niall

We have scoured through a million lists and these are the best we can come up with, so please noone say they're all rubbish! Which one would you choose out of these?

Cameron. Because I like names that can be shortened.

Vincent

Rueben or Cameron

Vincent, Cameron or Fraser. Probably Fraser. Congrats!

Mind you I also love Conrad and Reuben. Why not pick out of a hat.

Best by a mile - Vincent
My least favourite - Brandon

The others are pretty good too

Thanks all, think it might have to be a last minute decision once he gets here at this rate!

Reuben! That’s such a lovely name.

If I wanted to nod towards Scottish heritage, I would choose Fraser.

Kieron.
Fraser.
How about Alisdair?

I LOVE Fraser!!

Second choice would be Reuben.

Good luck!

Vincent

Also suggest
Lachlan
Douglas
Ruairidh
Simon
Donald

Interesting to see lots of love for Fraser, that's my husband's choice too. I thought it would remind me too much of the TV show but I've come round to it!
Brandon was what we originally liked if my daughter had been a boy but I've gone off it a lot since then.

@dementedma I suggested Lachlan but was vetoed!

@BingBongToTheMoon hadn't come across Alisdair, one to ponder thanks!

If you are Scots heritage, it's no contest for me: Fraser - I love it, despite generally not liking "surname" names.

The others either sound more Irish than Scottish to me for some reason (Niall, Kieran) or I hate the nn's ("Roo", "Cam", "Vinnie"), Conrad sounds a bit fusty to me and I find Brandon slightly 90's, sorry.

My other fave Scots boys names if it helps are Alistair and Laith (and Magnus but that's more Latin/Scandi I suppose). Brodie and Lewis also have their charm if you like surname/place names.

Cameron or Kieran

Hamish is the best Scottish boy name imo!

@IamnotwhouthinkIam, thanks for the suggestions.

I'm really glad I asked, I think Fraser might be the winner at this rate and I don't want to ask anyone in RL incase we change our mind or we get an eyebrow raise.

@Pumpkinsonparade I like Hamish but our surname begins with H and might be too much.
My daughter is called Carina and so although we do like some names beginning with C I'm less inclined to go with one of those. Boys names are tough!

Oh definitely Reuben!! Absolutely love it.

HWH are great initials!!

Reuben - brilliant name

Congratulations! My vote is for Reuben (which my autocorrect just changed to "Revenge" ).

Thanks all, might have to tally up the votes, looks like Reuben and Fraser are the winners so far.

@Pumpkinsonparade

HWH are great initials!!

Almost regal 😂
