Final 4!

[WolfMother326]

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 is my favourite

Adrian and Elliott are OK

I don’t like Rowan at all

I'm not usually a fan of siblings having the same name but I actually really like Adrian - it's unexpected and perhaps the hours I've spent watching Miraculous ladybug with dds have made it seem cool.

Second choice would be Elliott.

Alasdair is awesome BTW. Congrats on your second boy

Rowan is the nicest and goes well with Michael.

I like Edmund the best. I also think Edmund goes better than Alasdair, at least better than the rest of list. I also love Elliott, but not as much as Edmund and don't think it goes that well.
I find Adrian fine, but it's name I never wanted to use. I just think of Adriatic sea, and Rowan is also popular among girls and not only popular, but popular in last 10-20 years, which makes it trendy, because Rowan was barely used before that.

I only like Edmund and Adrian from your list - Edmund my favourite from the two. (I know you said no suggestions but Julian would work well as well!).

Elliot was always a little shit at my school so hard no from me.

Rowen sounds quite hippie to me and like his sister would be Skye or brother Amos or something like that - not something classic like Alasdair.

Rowan
edmund is too brigerton

Rowan

Elliott
Rowan
Adrian
Edmund

All are very try hard wannabe middle class

Edmund - Blackadder, Narnia
Adrian - A drain. Mole. Ay-DREE-UUUUUN!
Elliott - Eliot/Elliot/Elliott
Rowan (too popular?) - Atkinson, Williams, Pelling. Roman too popular

Ed or Ted will be grateful for his lovely, steady name which is easy to say and spell.

I have a grown up Edmund so clearly love it. There was never anyone in the school with that name, let alone his class. Don't know why it isn't more prevalent; it's an excellent name.

From you list, I like Rowan and Elliott best of all.

Rowan and Edmund are my favourites.

I like Elliott but there are too many different spellings. It might work if you have a very short surname that nobody could possibly mis-spell.

Not keen on Adrian with a sibling called Alasdair - it sounds like you’re going for a theme, which I don’t think you are given the other names.

Congratulations!

Edmund is a good strong name like Alasdair.

Rowan is okay but agree with PP not everyone suits that name.

Elliott I’m not keen on.

Adrian - dislike. Makes me think of Adrian Mole (which I did enjoy reading).

I may be biased, but 100% Edmund. It's my DS's name. And he never gets called Eddy, he's Ed. Great name.

Edmund

Edmund definitely

Edmund goes so well with Alasdair

Elliot at a push.

Sorry OP but I don't like any of the others. Particularly Edmund (awful name!)

Are you in Scotland? My favourite by far is Rowan but I think it’s very popular there for girls so I’d hesitate if so. I love Alasdair btw.

I LOVE Elliott and Rowan. Both timeless and lovely sounding! I love the nature meaning in Rowan too.
Edmund makes me think of the Narnia films which there’s not anything ‘wrong’ with but I’m also just not keen. He would probably get called Ed a lot when older, which I don’t like very much.
Also not keen on Adrian but for no particular reason.

thats just for me personally though, they aren’t “bad” names at all

I hate Edmund but the others are fine.

I'd go Elliott

Edmund or Adrian. They'd both be really good with Alasdair.

Not Elliot, I don't like it as a first name.

I think I prefer Rowan on a girl.
