Archie

[EllenJane]

Is it a bit 'Alfie', or is it in a different league?

We are still very keen on Finlay, and I really like Theo and Louis but hubby is keen to keep it Scottish.

Oh, and what would you favour - Finlay or Archie?

Thank you again!

ha ha!

Moondog, are Irish people allowed to use Scottish names? Or should they step away too?

Hehe MC, made me chuckle, I love the word bint - raises a smile every time!

Just researched (i'm very quick) - Fergus is both Scottish and Irish. I'll mention it to husband. He's so set on Finlay though(and I think it's still my fav. too), I think he'll rubbish any other suggestion.

Can't have Hamish.. there's one in the family already!

Bruce?! Go on, go on, go on...

Bruce is the new Gus you know (Gus was the new Max).

nobodysfool, your Finlay looks lovely - as do you and your partner.

Bruce is a bit comedy. I couldn't introduce him with a striaght face, in fact i'm grinning now!

You couldn't rule out names for being characters!!

Finlay fire engine, rory car, barney dinosaur, Annabel the doll, Olivia the doll, milo the tweenie, max the tweenie,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

and on and on. Half your child's class will share his/her name with a fire engine or a doll.

My ds is v friendly with a lovely boy called Archie. I am friendly with the parents. Would never have thought of using that name myself, but you get used to anything on other people's children.

Yep madamech0let! we were waa-ay ahead lol, have just had a baby Flossie so watch out for that in 15 years time

my granda was archie. he was born in 1902

cracker name.

love love love finn. dd would have been finn.

oh i thing i'd really like another wee boy... [longing expression]

My son is an Archie. Biased, I know, but I love it.

Never thought of it as popular but might have to concede that it is becoming more so.

Ellenjane, Bruce is my little boy's mn!!

It was that or James. {wink}

Wow peapod, Flossie? Not Florence on the BC? You are avante-garde!!

I don't doubt you though, I will be listenning out for Flossies, but not for a while.... Let me know if you hear "Come back here now Bruce!" called out.

Archie is a great name and is becoming more popular now. If looking for a Scottish name how about Fraser or Campbell. Surnames as first names have always been very popular in Scotland.

Archie for me just conjurs up images of that slightly sinister man in pink on Ballamory...

Archie is downmarket in my opinion. The others on your list are much classier.

Florence/Flossie is lovely. But Archie/Archibald - nooooo! Go with Finlay.

Murray is Scottish

Hamish is the gaelic version of James

If DD had been a boy she would have been called Murray. I think it is a lovely name.

Finlay is nice but not very scottish anymore. Also 2 girls in DS nursery class called this.
