We've recently found out we're expecting another boy!

Current shortlist includes Oliver, Angus, Arthur and Rory. Our surname is Scottish. Thoughts?

Brothers of Daniels I know, Gavin ,Liam, James. They all flow well together with Daniel. Of your list I love Oliver and Rory :)

Elton.

Beat me to it 😉.

Blessedbethefruitz · 26/08/2023 19:23

Rory is an unsurpassed name 😁 Thomas came to mind for Daniel though.

JollyJolene · 26/08/2023 19:28

My first thought was Luke/Lucas/Luca.

Also:
Oscar
Joseph
Zac/Zachary
Seb/Sebastian

Riverlee · 26/08/2023 19:29

Thomas was my first thought.

EinyLinky · 26/08/2023 19:29

Oliver is my favourite from your list and I think it goes the best anyway

salamithumbs · 26/08/2023 19:34

I like Oliver, Arthur or Rory! Just not a fan of Angus.
The Daniels I know have brothers called Patrick, Max, Josh, Conal, Jack, Callum, David, Luke, Niall, Michael, Gavin and Sean.

poorlyarm · 26/08/2023 19:35

James and William in our family.

Wbeezer · 26/08/2023 19:37

Ha! I've got a Daniel Rory, his older brothers are Tom and James. Despite having such straightforward names they were always the only ones in their class amongst multiple Camerons, Callums and Ewan's!
My DS3 does wish I'd called him something more edgy than Daniel though but he is about to go to Art School and image is v important to him 🙄

Dobbyismostaggrievedsir · 26/08/2023 19:37

His brothers are called James, Isaac and Matthew.

ZenNudist · 26/08/2023 19:39

David

Thelonelygiraffe · 26/08/2023 19:44

My first thought was Leo. But if your list, I like Rory best. Think it goes best with Daniel.

KillingMeWithSilence · 26/08/2023 19:46

Elton, because the thread title gave me an ear worm " daniel my brother, you were older than me....

DressDilemma · 26/08/2023 19:55

Edward

Oliver - likeAngus - likeArthur - I like it as a Welsh name - the pronunciation is quite different (sort of Arr-thirr), not keen on the non-rhotic english pronunciationRory - like but not great if you can't say R, and a lot of people can'tOliver or Angus depending on which sounds best with the surname

WhootDaFook · 26/08/2023 20:05

Michael
Robert
Andrew

AmyandPhilipfan · 26/08/2023 20:09
