Hello, looking for some advice.

Baby boy will be brother to Alasdair. Thinking we want to avoid another 'A' first name.

Middle name will be Michael after grandfather.

Surname is two syllables and starts with H.

Ideally want to avoid anything in top 20, tend to like more traditional names rather than short versions (Jack, Charlie, etc).

I know it's a lot of requirements, thanks in advance!

I love Alasdair - one of my all time favourites. I’ve avoided name suggestions ending in -el because of Michael as a MN, but Gabriel would be lovely with Alasdair if you’re not worried about that.

salamithumbs · 10/05/2024 23:49

The only Alasdair I know has a brother called Euan...
Or, I like Fraser, Callum, Cameron and Ross

WolfMother326 · 11/05/2024 14:32

Thank you everyone for the lovely suggestions.

This is very funny, Dad's name is Neil! A few suggested that one.

We have discussed Gabriel, Euan and Duncan, all the others are great suggestions too.

I feel like another vowel would go nicely with Alasdair.
