Fraser

[cococabana7]

Already have a little boy called Finley, unsure of the sex and probably won't be finding out but I'm convinced it will be a boy as DH's side of the family is very boy heavy. We both quite like Fraser but don't quite love it at the moment, any other suggestions? I don't like the traditional names such as Joseph, Joshua, William, Benjamin etc. I really struggled to pick Finley's name but as soon as we did we both absolutely loved it.

My little grandsons name, I love it and it's rare enough that he's the only one at nursery which is nice

What about Calum/Callum, Ewan/Euan, Angus or other Scottish type names.

It's a nice name but I'm not keen on having surnames as first names which this is to me, I think it can get a bit confusing especially if your surname isn't definitely a surname.

It's really nice @cococabana7

@User6761 , that's a good list. It's only the F & F puts me off Fraser.

I think Fraser is a cool name!

I didn't know that it is a surname, but I am not originally from the UK.
The name Fraser actually makes me think of the tv series "Frasier" (which I have never watched, but it's pretty famous), and in that show I think it's a first name.

Finley and Fraser is a good combination of names!

I have a Fletcher, which is a similar vibe to Fraser. I also have a nephew Fraser, it's a lovely name.

It is a common surname but it’s also common as a first name, especially in Scotland. I grew up in Aberdeenshire and there’s a town called Fraserburgh and a castle called Castle Fraser which is very cool.

It's a very common boys name up here in Scotland, I like it, goes well with Finley

@DoYouSmokePaul
Thank you, very interesting!

And that is certainly a very cool castle!

Fraser is gorgeous but personally I’m not keen on same initials for same sex siblings as families do still get the occasional letter with just Mr initial and surname. but a similar Scots surname style might be Brody/Brodie?

Or since Finley is surname style with the obvious nn of Finn, maybe something similar might be Bennett (Ben), Sullivan (Sully), Maxwell (Max) , Edison (Ed), Beckett (Beck), Callahan (Cal) etc?

Thanks all. I'm usually not a fan of the same initial first names either and it's definitely not intentional here but I'm liking it more and more! Thanks for all other suggestions too
