DH and I are having a nightmare - we are rubbish at deciding on a name as we are both very fussy. Please make suggestions for boys names - I don't want anything common (i.e he will be one of 3 in his class)

I will apologise in advance for dismissing most of them, we've already had a gazillion suggestions but I am hoping one of you can hit the jackpot! There is a photo of him in my profile if that helps.

Thanks

Sorley - lovely Scottish name (I'm sure there's a Gaelic spelling of it too, but I don't know what it is)
Also like:
Raphael
Zak could also be short for Isaac, which I like too.
Gabriel
Finlay

sorry if these have already been suggested but I couldn't face reading 7 pages!
After looking at his photo I vote for either Arthur or Douglas

And i love your nursery! Pleased to see someone else has gone for a bold, non-pastel theme!

Cormac is Irish I think.

chocolategal · 13/11/2008 16:53

hey choco
just thought i'd add, i live in scotland and calling your baby Ned up here would be a big NO NO!!

a relative in australia has a little boy called Ned out there and it is no big deal but there is no way i could get away with that here.
dont know what it would be like down south??

Annthecat · 13/11/2008 17:14

I think:

Arthur - taditional old fashioned not too popular but not weirdy.

Or

Gregory- Classical, unusaul, cute for a boy dignified for a man.

I have an Edward, we call him Eddie, so I love that too.

ChocOrange05 · 13/11/2008 17:31

I think we have a winner........

QueenofAllWildThings · 13/11/2008 17:42

Oops, I missed it! Is Mack short for anything? I like it! And you certainly won't have lots of those in his class

ChocOrange05 · 13/11/2008 17:49

Mack isn't short for anything - whilst getting everyone's suggestions I decided I quite wanted something that was a short name.

Thanks for saying you like it Queenof DH and I are pleased we have decided on something!!!

Mack - like it short and punchy

Annthecat · 13/11/2008 17:58

I like Mack too!!

Glad you have decided.

MarkStretch · 13/11/2008 18:08

I like it. Welcome Mack.

ButterflyBessie · 13/11/2008 18:21

Well I suppose it is ok, but are you sure you don't want to call him Zebedee?

Buda · 13/11/2008 18:27

Nice!

Hi Mack!

Neeerly3 · 13/11/2008 19:41
