Alasdair

[Brightfield]

I'm very fond of this name but worry it's a bit square with not enough quirk?

What do you think?

prefer Alastair

ali for short

wouldnt choose it but its ok

what about

Ned
Adam
Beau
Callum

again not my choice but...........?

It's a great name. Would have used it myself except DS has an Uncle Alasdair and a Great Uncle Alasdair!

not my cup of tea but not awful - i think you should spell it with a t thought instead of a d

its a good name but agree he will always be saying 'with a d' - its very tedious - i have a name that is short for another and i am always having to explain it dull dull dull

why would you have to tell everyone it has a D

that is the proper spelling

There are many ways of spelling Alasdair. Will be shortened to Ali / Ally even if you don't want it to be. But it is a great name with character.

Alasdhair!

its the over the phone thing and making appts at the docs - people feel they have to check even if you say it clearly

it doesnt really matter if the op loves it, but she did ask for thoughts

I woud definitely go with the original spelling of Alasdair. I think most people have to spell their names out on the phone - Sarah/Sara, Deborah/Debra, Stephen/Steven etc etc ..

Its lovely I thought d was the original spelling so should be ok.

Yum. Great name. Love it with the d.

I prefer it with a 't' - but because I actually prefer the sound of Alis-tair instead of Alis-dair. I know most people pronounce both the same, but to me there's a difference. When I see it with a 'd' I automatically pronounce the 'd' in my head...!

Oh, it's a wonderful name - go for it ... but I'm biased (proud mum of alasdair aged nearly 12 months).
