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.

er .Name the baby of course!(i can eat at the same time) these things are best thought out with munchies to hand...... scientifically proven your brain works better when fed! back to names .....how about RUSSEL , or RHOGAN?

sluuurppy dont mind me as ah dips the biscuit better no stain ma boden trews though

, dont mention boden , the boden bashers may be lurking anywhere! and never on a name thread , someone just might.....name their baby Boden.....aaargh noooooo ,(up there with chardonay and troy!) what about carneigy for delighteds baby? what do you think?

I know 3 brothers named after Scottish islands...kind of sounds wrong, iykwim

carnegie reminds me of dodgy glesgae pubs with cheap food and fights

i think ive been in those pubs,ones called LAUDER'S right?. What islands? i know a few SKYE's but theyre girls.

Call him Dougray pronounced James

Seriously hope no-one on here knows them, but - Arran, Lewis and Harris

Lovely names on their own, but kind of euch together iykwim.

And I apologie profusely if they are known to any MNetters

I think Dougray rocks! And I love Gray - v. cool - sounds like a movie star - but depends I guess on your surname too.

i know a few scottish forename as names eg mckenzie

ooh paolosgirl , they are nice names, but i get what u mean!merrylegs Dougray is just wrong . poor kid would end up getting called duggy,,,,gray makes me think of the bisexual character in emmerdale>

MCKENZIE is fab, i cant think of anything that rhymes in a negative way!,but its a tricky one for surnames. doesnt go with many

dougray scottactor Mission impossible

Oi Dsr, what's wrong with Douggie??

McKenzie reminds me of McKenzie Crook - great actor, but nae bonny

a face only his mammy could love

And even then...

douggie- doggie sorry cant help it , my brain just links things in odd ways

"a face only his mammy could love" = " a face like a coows arse in action" , youve put me right aff mckennzie now!

lol. My ds would make you change your mind if you met him

It sounds like a nuclear power station

for a name thread this is quite jovial,usually folk have argued by now

i like gluteus maximus,so manly
oh arse thats a sissy name
oi that's my bairns name

you called your bairn GLUTEUS MAXIMUS????? WHY???//

aye,so whit?wee sister called labia minora

Can't here Dougie without thinking of a family member who mixes in rough circles in Glasgow (can't think of any other way to put it!) and his friends who all call him Duggie (say it Glesgie like ken min), or the girl from Art Attack who used to pronounce it Dooogeee.
