DH has just suggested DOUGRAY for our impending DS. Comments please!

[delightedoldbag34]

Our other choices include Alexander (hot favorite so far I think), also Mungo, Munro, Nairn, Hector and Rory.

DH has just suggested Dougray and my initial reaction was positive. Wondering what you ladies think to it (we are in Scotland, as you may have guessed!)

Honest opinions please, don't hold back.

You could just call him Gray?

I would go for Douglas instead of Dougray.

Alexander is a little unimaginative and most certainly will be shortened.

But I REALLY like Mungo and Rory from your list! Great, masculine names that won't have to be shortened.

Having Googled Dougray I think it may be made up. Although I did find a website that listed it being of French origin (which sounds unlikely).
I still like it and have checked through my collection of baby name books (I have quite a few) and it isn't in ANY of them.

Has anyone ever met anyone actually called this?
(I do know Dougray Scott isn't actually called Dougray.)

I like Alexander and Hector. Dougray makes me think of Dounreay, sorry.

Dougray sounds made up. Dh and I always snort at Dougray Scott. Reckon he spelt Dougie wrong .

Fucking hell
That is the worst name I have ever heard.
God,I have just inhaled half of my lunch as I am so appalled.

Well you did say don't hold back so...i hate it and not too keen on your other choices either.

They're all a bit too...well...Scottish

what a bizzare thing to say!too scottish how offensive- would you tell object if names are too Jewish/arabic/black/english

one can chose names from your own culture you know,hey or anyone else come to that

dougray makes me think of dougs(as in dogs said glasweigen style!)alexanders a nice name, mungo -mary mungo and midge..... scary cartoon from early 70's.nairn.... lino factory in kirkcaldy. hector.....hector brocklebank from H.B.Fash.-real radio.lol sorry!

can never be too scottish, if you ask me! right im off to catch a haggis

dae ye hun a licence fir huntin the wee hairy beastie and a backwards net for it tae step into

I quite like it. DS is Douggie (and Alexander too!).

Agree with Dragon, Gray is better. Don't like Dougray.

Its no made up, I have great great great/great great/ Great Uncles Dougray according to our Family Tree.

And I love the name by the way.

I don't like Jewish names
Or black ghettotastic names either.
Stick that in yer pipe and smoke it.

Dougray ~ Scottish ~ Protector of the King

i like hamish

Mungo - poncey, Trying Too Hard (and will depend on a public school education for the duration), and the link to Mary Mungo and Midge is too strong

Munro - do you bag them? Did you conceive him up one? Then no.

Nairn - It's a town, not a name

Hector - do you not like your unborn baby?

Dougray - plain wrong on so many levels

And I'm also north of the border...please rethink those names!

i do like dougray as a name,sounds nice

if you look under Irish names you can find it here

scottish - hamish .....ham sandwiches, ham & eggmes, ham & cheese( food theme keeps apearing, bloddy diet killing me ......aaargh cant take anymore away to much the choccie biscuits!)

you want to name the baby or eat it
