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

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

From your list, Rory.

I know two young Daniel with brothers Jacob and Michael.

I also like Callum, as you have a Scottish surname.

You absolutely can't have Jack as some posters are suggesting

'Yer' Jack and Danny' is slang for 'Fanny' so best not to go there

Yokaiwatch · 26/08/2023 22:04

From your list I like Angus the best.

I would have said Thomas though if you hadn’t provided a list of names you like. Or Michael.

Angus is a bit rhymey with Daniel. Arthur, not my choice but it's fine. From your list I would choose Oliver or Rory.

Other suggestions if you want them:
Cameron
Duncan
Finley
Lewis

@TaigaSno in what way do Daniel and Angus rhyme out of interest?

TaigaSno · 26/08/2023 22:27

@BatGirl2 They rhyme in the first syllable of both names, Dan and An. Nothing wrong with it, but it's what I noticed first so it wouldn't be my choice to use both names as siblings.
