Brother for Alasdair and Ruairidh

Any suggestions? We’re in Scotland. Both names are obviously Scottish but not stuck to it being Scottish but obviously still want it to work together and not stick out. Have been considering Fraser but not sure. Also like James and Samuel.

Harris?

Can never go wrong with James though.

Okayfenokay · 23/01/2026 20:41

Hamish

LaughingLemur · 23/01/2026 20:42

Harris, Struan, Lachlan, Callan are all ones I've heard recently.

Niall
Struan
Lachlan
Tavish

Wild card: Dougal - I think it's really, really lovely!

Fraser is a great name. My nextdoor neighbour is Scottish and her sons are Lewis and Fraser and our other Scottish neighbour has a Ruairidh. I also really like Lachlan and Duncan but James is a classic too

Firebird83 · 23/01/2026 20:48

Fraser is good. What about Magnus?

CharlieSays13 · 23/01/2026 20:52

Murdo, Fergus, Calum all nice, as is Fraser

Finlay. Blair. Kieran.

Star81 · 23/01/2026 20:59

Blair ?

bells456 · 23/01/2026 21:04

Innes?

Fraser is great. James and Samuel are nice names but feel a bit bland beside Alasdair and Ruairidh.

Maybe Hamish, Ossian, Fergus or Samson?

Bluebluesummer · 23/01/2026 21:12

Absolutely love Innes.
