I've posted before, about a brother for Alasdair. Middle name will be Michael.

Our sweet baby is 2 weeks old and our final 4 name choices are:

Edmund
Adrian
Elliott
Rowan (too popular?)

Please don't suggest anything else but thoughts on these 4 would be helpful, thanks.

Edmund reminds me of Blackadder sorry.

Elliott - too Towie sounding.

Adrian okay.

Rowan - prob my fave.

Rowan

EducatingArti · 26/08/2024 17:19

I like Edmund best. It is the most "classic" of your choices to go with a classic name like Alasdair

MagicianMoth · 26/08/2024 17:20

Elliott

Lakewondermere · 26/08/2024 17:22

My order of preference would be

Edmund (love this)
Elliot
Adrian
Rowen

TeeBee · 26/08/2024 17:22

Elliott or Rowen

Gloschick · 26/08/2024 17:22

My daughter had 2 Elliots (with same surname initial) in her class, so you may find that is more common than Rowan.

JLT24 · 26/08/2024 17:23

Elliott and Rowan are cute

Edmund & Adrian sound like boring old men’s names

MyStylish40s · 26/08/2024 17:24

Rowan is my favourite

TomatoSandwiches · 26/08/2024 17:25

I like Rowan but it suits very few boys imo

Adrian would be my choice.

Firsttimebabymummy · 26/08/2024 17:26

Rowan is my favourite by far.

SerenityNowInsanityLater · 26/08/2024 17:28

Adrian

I love this name. It’s so underrated and deserves love in Baby Naming World. ☺️
Alasdair and Adrian work so beautifully as sibling names.

Congratulations, OP. 💐

ohmydays37 · 26/08/2024 17:29

Rowan by far. Lovely name and not over used.

Newsenmum · 26/08/2024 17:32

Oh they’re all lovely. I think Adrian goes the most, even though it’s two As. Edmund is nice but he’ll be Eddy. Rowan I love but it’s very popular and doesn’t feel like Alisdair (to me). I also like Elliot but pretty popular.

TeamPolin · 26/08/2024 17:34

Elliott
Edmund and Rowan joint second.

About 60 miles behind..... Adrian

Dithercats · 26/08/2024 17:36

Edmund & Alasdair sounds nicest

neverenoughwine · 26/08/2024 17:37

Oooh, this one is tough as I don't love any! (Sorry)

Rowan is my top choice

Elliot, I used to love but I've heard too many mums screaming this name

Adrian - nope! I just don't think it's cute or handsome!

Completely forgot the other one!

Velvetbee · 26/08/2024 17:38

Edmund.

FortunataTagnips · 26/08/2024 17:39

Edmund

Adrian okay.

Rowan - prob my fave.

Edmund reminds you of Blackadder but Rowan doesn’t? 🤣

IbizaToTheNorfolkBroads · 26/08/2024 17:41

I like them all, but like Rowan best.

Firebird83 · 26/08/2024 17:41

Edmund, definitely.

TheGirlOnTheLanding · 26/08/2024 17:58

Rowan, by some way.

marshmallowfinder · 26/08/2024 18:05

Rowan. Not at all keen on the others I'm afraid.

pinkyredrose · 26/08/2024 18:06

Elliott!
