On my profile is a scan photo of ds2.We are really struggling with a name this time.
Ds1 is called Finlay (usually shortened to Fin- unless i'm doing my stern voice),i love unusual names (honestly, Fin was when we chose it) and steer clear of 'old' traditional names.
I would like to be able to shorten the name if possible but will consider anything.
Oh and we have a Scottish surname.
Any ideas?

Cosmo? Hamish? Callum? Duncan? Hector? Angus? Aiden? Logan? Fergus?

I like Scottish boys names. Can you tell?

I think he's beautiful but I think it's a bit of a shame to rush him! He might look different when he's born. Only you know what name comes to mind when you look at those pictures.

He has a gorgeous expression.

I vote Rory! It's such a boy's name. I love it!

nobodysfool · 20/11/2008 21:08

Dh is pissing himself laughing.
I cant say the letter 'r' very well -just think of a watered down Johnathan Ross
Wish i caould as the i could have Finlay the fire engine and Rory the racing car.

No it's v clear. Just difficult to get a complete sense of him in terms of name choosing from the golden photo, imo.

Candlewax · 20/11/2008 21:10

Alexander or Alistair

shootfromthehip · 20/11/2008 21:10

Hector, Marshall or Bob. I think Bob is under-rated

Umlellala · 20/11/2008 21:11

Aw, such cute pics . I do like Rory and Finley.

But our ds is Skyler Harvey - we call him Sky. Think he looks like a cute Sky. And would work with Scottish surname IMO.

colacubes · 20/11/2008 21:12

George

Umlellala · 20/11/2008 21:12

Finlay, sorry!

(no r's in Skyler)

LetMeEatCake · 20/11/2008 21:25

still think he's an 'H'

LetMeEatCake · 20/11/2008 21:27

Horace
Harmon
Homer....haha

Hadley

Hadley McSporran sounds great!

rodg82 · 20/11/2008 21:36

I think he looks like a Luca or Lucas - not sure why really they were first names that sprung to mind when i saw pic!
