Are Fraser and Foster to similar?

[Happylove1]

I have a DS Fraser and DD Darcie
currently looking at names for baby number 3 and me and DP can’t decide on many names that we both like. The only one we both like at the moment is Foster-Jude but after discussing it with my parents they said that Foster and Fraser were way to similar. We kind of see where they are coming from but think they are different enough.
We have no other name options if baby number 3 is a boy and don’t know what to do

My favourite post of all time! 😹 🐱

Foster one of the worst names I have ever heard. Jude, on the other hand, is lovely.

You're in no position to criticise whilst suggesting FORBES for goodness sake. 😱😱😁😁

Jude is nice. Foster is ridiculous.

@SleepingStandingUp - Forbes is a Scottish name

I knew brothers called Kevin and Keith. Nobody cares once they’re adults.

Oooh sailor! Another classic.

It's worse than Foster. If OP comes back and says she's in Scotland I'll repent but it's strictly in the surname category. Accountant or similar. "Fraser and Forbes - legal advice when you need it!!"

Yes. Aside from the fact that it’s terrible as a name, especially hyphenated with Jude.

I really wouldn’t think it was very kind to name a child foster.
my dc have unusual names that aren’t to everyone’s tastes, so I try not to judge but foster is too strongly linked to alcohol and the verb.

I’m not really sure what your taste is, but some other 6 letter names

alaster
Hunter
Carter
Forest
Freddy
hamish
rupert
elijah
Julien
Carson
Xavier
joshua
hudson
Colton
thomas
landon

Foster is not a good name. It’s either a difficult thing that is happening to a child or it sounds like fester. As in Uncle Fester or what my children’s lunchboxes did when they forgot to bring them home.

My six letter name suggestion is Austin to go with your other names.

They’re too similar, as in Fraser & Nigel are not alike. I like Jude, though.

There’s a celeb, and her sons are Parker & Carter. So, whatever you’re into!

@FatSealSmugSoup @SleepingStandingUp
I was putting surnames in that I've heard of before as first names.
FWIW I know a few Frasers and a Forbes - it's not uncommon for maiden /Clan names to be given as first names in Scotland

Foster isn’t a nice name IMO, for many reasons, and Foster-Jude doesn’t sound or look good at all.

6 letters? How about:

Finlay
Stefan
Jasper
Hamish
Patric
Seamus
Daniel

Fraser and Darcie go together well.

Foster is a surname. It doesn't go with the other two at all.

Agree with the others, Jude is nice, having one syllable makes it not quite fit with the other two names but that's not a big dieal.
I also like Lorcan or Rory with Fraser and Darcie

Six letters ...

Fraser, Darcie and...

Harris
Eamonn
Austin
Arthur
Finley
Harley
Jenson
Elliot

Me and DP have been researching more name possibilities (even though we still love foster)
and we have come up with
-Raurie
-Cruise
-Harlan
-Winter
What are everyone’s thoughts on these?

What's Ruarie? I've never heard that before. Should it be Ruairi?

Is Raurie a National spelling or just a way to make Rory have six letters? I like the name but not a made up spelling to fix a rule

Cruise, no. Its what I do when I go on a boat.

Harlan, no. Sounds like it's meant to be something else but I'm not sure what.

Winter is nice.

Is raurie Rory spelt with extra letters because you need 6?

Cruise ship.

Harlan? Maybe Harley?

Winter season.

Perfect solution to the slightly pointless 6-letter stipulation would be Finlay.

It’s not to my taste but it sounds good with the rest of the siblings, has 6 letters, and still has a Scottish feel.

Is foster even a name? I’ve never heard it and it’s actual meaning doesn’t feel a good choice for a child.

Im going to gloss over the hyphenated version. That’s just bizarre.

Those other choices are quite out there compared to your existing children’s names. And there are two spellings of Rory yet you have managed to make one up totally to fit your 6 letter rule. Don’t do that -he will be constantly telling people how to spell it and be embarrassed his is made up.
the only Cruise I know is the Beckham’s Cruz which means star I think whereas your version means drive slowly which is a bit less glamorous.

Arthur
Robert
Daniel
Finlay
Rupert
Stuart
Albert
Joseph

all 6. It’s not that hard OP surely

There are so many six letter names you could come up with which aren't as bad as any of the ones you've already chosen. I'm guessing you like American sounding names over more traditional British?

Never knew that the spelling of Raurie was weird-
DP’s grandfather was a Raurie and that’s where we got the name from
DP is Scottish therefore that’s how Fraser came about
our other children are teens so this was quite a surprise baby and our taste in names has changed quite a bit,I’ve never liked traditional names and much prefer more unique ones
